www. A large group of us are just returning from Sugarloaf. Overall it was a
fabulous time with private lessons each day, winter carnival activities,
and night life. This is our "best value" package of skiing. Next
year be sure to sign up early! Our two big trips are now on a waiting list
basis. Snowmass/Aspen and Big Mountain/Fernie are sure to provide great
skiing and boarding for those that are going. Each year we spend a lot of time researching and planning trips. We are
now working on our trip agenda for next year. As always, we
appreciate your input. As I was perusing our website I noticed there are
mountains that I hadn't even considered, such as those in Venezuela,
Andorra, Chile, Bolivia, India. Let your imagination soar! Like the
commercial says “Where do you want to go”? Let us know! And while you
are at it consider becoming a trip leader. You can talk to any of the
officers or board members to express your interest. I want to personally
thank the members who have taken the initiative to become trip leaders
this year. It is a great opportunity to ski for free and be more active
with the club. Plus you are on your way to lead weekends or weeklong
trips. Take a moment and review our current schedule as it has been
revamped for this season to take advantage of more skiing. The season is
now in full swing so sign up soon and remember the last ski weekend will
be at Jay Peak, VT. This is the second year running Jay Peak and we once
again anticipate a sellout! As everyone knows skiing can occasionally lead to injuries. We wish
John Taylor well for injuring his shoulder while on the Stratton trip, and
envy him for still going to Snowmass with the club. Hat’s off to John! Hope to see you at our February 7th meeting. Keep riding and skiing, Suzanne Robertson JUMP INTO WINTER WITH THE UPPER CAPE SKI CLUB
