Piette's Post

Hi all,

How things change! A month ago, we were at the end of a very warm period that delayed the opening of ski areas in our region. The very cold weather recently has helped many of our ski hills to make plenty of snow. I have finally been able to go skiing more often. I have been to Granite Peak several times and I can tell you that it has almost all of its runs open and in good condition. The good news for Searchmont is that the area is getting the Lake effect snow that is expected and had a foot of snow the week that I am writing my post.  Those that signed up, will likely be skiing as you read this post.

The Beaver Creek trip is just a few weeks away. Those of us that are signed up are looking forward to a great time skiing two amazing ski resorts, Vail and Beaver Creek. This trip is also at wait list only status.

We will be ramping up our discussions and planning for 2026 during February, beginning with our Board Meeting February 11.  Please send your suggestions to Ron Quick (trip.chair@gelandesprung.org) and Scot Wederquist (vice.president@gelandesprung.org) to share your thoughts for the resort you would like to visit.

As long as we have to wait for the ski season, it passes so quickly.  We only have about nine weeks left in our favorite season. Ski while the skiing is great!
