Piette’s Post
It is Labor Day Weekend, signaling that our summer is passing into our memories and autumn will be here in a few weeks. This also means that we are days away from the opening of our trip to Beaver Creek/Vail next March. Beaver Creek and Vail are personal favorites for me to ski and it is included on the Epic pass that you will use for this trip. We moved the first day to sign up, to one week later for your benefit. This will allow you to have enough time to choose your options without a time crunch.
The trip opens for signup on Saturday, September 14th, at 9 AM. We will be using the same signup system from SkiGroup that we used last year for our western trip. The link to the website to sign up is in this issue of the newsletter. Ron Quick, our trip leader, has more information in this newsletter, please read the details and make your plan. You will find the Charter to be a great place to stay regardless of your choice of rooms
I hope you enjoy the rest of the summer. One of the ways to do that is to join us at the 2024 Quick Bike Ride at Silarian Winery on Saturday, September 21st. It is a good venue and includes a live band. Check out the details in the newsletter.
We are also hoping to have a good gathering for our Fall Social (formerly our fall banquet), Thursday, October 17th. Based on feedback from the club, we are using an informal approach to allow for plenty of visiting with our ski club friends. We think this will be a fun event for all. Any meeting portion will be short and to the point. See details in the newsletter for sign up.
One thing I learned while watching “Game of Thrones” is that “winter is coming.” Granite Peak and other resorts will be starting their snowmaking process about two months from now. I hope to see you on the slopes.
