Winter is coming! Snowmaking operations should be starting in about 6 weeks.
Summer is officially over and our ski trips are opening for the winter season. Beaver Creek (with Vail) opened September 14th as discussed last month. As I write this, we have over 60 people signed up and we still have room for more. Our flights this year, as scheduled, will be much easier to deal with. Our direct flight from Appleton sold out very quickly. We also have a direct flight out of Milwaukee Mitchel Field. As scheduled, each flight is at a good time so we do not need to leave home in the middle of the night. Beaver Creek and Vail have some of the best skiing in the West. I know I am looking forward to this trip, especially after not being able to go last year. I hope to see you there.
Scot and the Midwest trip team have done a great job of planning a weekend trip to Searchmont January 31 to February 2, 2025. We have information about our Midwest trip in the body of the newsletter. Keep reading and we hope you can join us.
Please plan to join us at the Seasonal Kickoff Fall Social Thursday, October 17. We have changed the format from a Banquet to a Social. 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 and we will have some good Hors d’oeuvres. We will have a limited number of announcements during the event to keep you up to date on our news. Our intent is to keep the announcements concise so you have time to socialize. There is a registration form in the newsletter that is due by Saturday, October 5.
Finally, I would like to get the word out that we have elections for the positions of Secretary, Social Events Coordinator and President at our Spring Banquet, which will be held at The Woods on Friday, April 11, 2025. Please consider becoming involved. I have been on the board for about ten years. I can tell you that this experience has been worthwhile in so many ways. One of the greatest feelings is seeing people have so much fun at our events and trips. You can talk to any one of us on the Board to express interest. The Fall Social would be a great time to do that.
