We had a wonderful ski season. We started at Searchmont with excellent conditions and ended with a great trip to Beaver Creek and Vail, that also included plenty of good powder. Thank you to Adam Hansen and Frank Wickham (Searchmont) and Ron Quick and Kevin Klasen (Beaver Creek) for your leadership and to all of you that joined us on the trips. Each trip had as good of a group as we could hope to have. Thank you for trusting Gelandesprung with your ski trips.
We had our annual business meeting at the Spring Banquet April 11th. Your Board will include the same people for the next year. I was voted to a new 2-year term as president of your club. Mark Heintzkill will be the secretary and Pia Heldt will be the social events coordinator for the next two years as well. Mark and Pia spoke to each other and decided each would prefer that move as well.
We are working on our next trip. The Out-west Trip Committee has agreed to recommend Telluride. We expect to have a definitive decision for our western trip no later than the middle of May. At this point, I suggest that you keep January 10-17 available for our trip.
We will also be providing more information regarding cycling rides hosted by some of our members and other summertime activities.
Please join our events during the summer and fall. It is a great way to get to see your friends and make new friends that enjoy the same activities.
Finally, share your experiences with your friends and acquaintances. We offer good trip planning at a good price. You “write a check” and show up. But the people that we ski with are the greatest selling point.
Thanks to all for your support.
