Seventh Annual International NSVI Vasectomy Ski Seminar
January 22-28, 2022; Frisco, Colorado
by Doug Stein
The Seventh Annual International NSVI
Vasectomy Ski Seminar drew a huge crowd of 17 vasectomist participants
from 5 countries, and 2 Members of the World Vasectomy Day staff. Many doubled as faculty and audience, exchanging data
and ideas on a wide range of topics pertaining to the social and
technical aspects of vasectomy. While these exchanges were scattered
throughout each day on ski lifts, hiking trails, and Frisco's delightful
Main Street, the formal didactic sessions took place on select evenings,
usually following fine food and wine consumed in the A8 condo or
one of Frisco's many pubs and restaurants. This year was a very
family-oriented meeting. We had 5 boys ages 12, 8, 8, 6, and 4; and 3
girls age
13, 8;
and one miniature poodle age 3.
