Piette’s Post
Our Telluride group has filled out well after a good start since last month. As I write this we have three airline seats remaining for the round trip to Montrose. If you want to join the fun, now is the time.
If you purchased an Epic pass and have not received any communication for the pass, call or email Crystal at Ski Group, not Epic. Her email is crystal@skigroup.net and her phone number is 970-313-4217.
I discussed the effort to re-establish our Facebook page last month. Our members and the public can view the page at Gelandesprung Ski Club of Green Bay, Sports Club at https://www.facebook.com/gelandesprung. The purpose of this Facebook page is to advertise our ski club in order to make people aware of our club and the opportunity to join a local group of people that love the sport of skiing & boarding. If you go to the page, you will see our ad for the Telluride trip. We will soon have our Midwest Trip advertised on the site. We will also use the page to advertise our other activities such as membership meetings, and other social events. Only our Administrators will be able to post on the page.
We have continued to add members to our club in recent years, mostly through personal interaction. We continue to be successful running our trips. Yet, our members’ average age has increased. The page will help us to reach out to people that are younger than our average age to assure that we continue to go downhill for the next 50 years.
We also will maintain our Facebook group (Gelandesprung Ski Club Public group). The Facebook group was set up by Brian Fowle a few years ago because we lost access to the page. You become a member of the group by liking the site. The group is set up so we can all post information. Examples would be to post photos of scenery or people at our events, a suggestion to informally meet other members at a ski area, go for a ride, or any other appropriate posts.
A third site, “Friends Who Like Gelandesprung Ski Club of Green Bay” is a group that was developed by a member for members. That person agreed to eliminate that group to avoid confusion.
I hope to see you at our Fall Banquet on October 2, 2025. It will include a traditional banquet and a speaker, Andrea Weyenberg, will discuss the benefits of aquatic exercise as we build strength and improve flexibility for the coming ski season.
Scot will discuss the plan for our Midwest Trip in March. A benefit for those that buy the Epic Pass is that they will get one day of free skiing at our Midwest destination.
See you soon,
Tom Piette
