thank you volunteers!The annual day trip honoring volunteers ... trip leaders, meeting helpers, board members ... took place on April 2, and we enjoyed a great day of spring conditions! A great time was had by all as we put another Club season on the slopes to rest!
Mount Washington Hotel ... springtime fun!This year's visit to the Mount Washington Hotel found spring conditions for those skiing & riding at Bretton Woods and the surrounding mountains. Despite rainy conditions the day before, the slopes were firm corduroy in the morning and nice and soft in the afternoon! Jackets were shed at lunchtime as the temps reached the high 40s! Sun shone all day! Dinner at the hotel was delicious and we enjoyed trivia and the ever-fun "heads & tails"! SADDLEBACK ... been a long time!This year saw the Club visit Saddleback, Maine, after a long absence! What a great trip! Keep your fingers crossed that this gem will be back on the schedule for next season! Kudos to new trip leader, Sid Snow (under the tutelage of Nancy Whitehurst)!
Killington ... great start to our season!We successfully ran our first trip of the season! Killington in December was very good. We had it a little tough with 2 inches of rain one day, but some brave souls still skied - Johnny, Kenny, Tim, Ed - way to go guys! Others went to Woodstock, Stowe, ski shops and the outdoor hot tub/pool! The Mountain Inn and The Distillery did a great job - Thanks! On to the next adventure!
The Als! Meeting called to order! Stowe, Vermont ... picturesque as always!The drive through the quaint Stowe village is preview to the lovely base area at the resort. Another destination that's been missing from the Club menu of trips, Stowe never disappoints! | sun valley ... ski racers galore!The 2025 Ski Cup World Finals were held the week the Club visited Sun Valley. And it was AMAZING! World Champions like Michaela Shiffrin and Lindsey Vonn didn't disappoint! Finishing first (Slalom) and second (Super G), respectively, Club members had a front row seat to the action! Beautiful skies (a theme this year!) made the trip all the more exhilirating! zermatt ... europe always attracts a crowd!Ski club trips to Europe destinations have seen more than 60 members sign up to enjoy the long slopes not to mention the incredible food and beverages! This year's trip to Zermatt was no different with 64 heading across the pond for extraordinary views and experiences!
beaver creek - aaahhhh, relaxing!A small, yet fun, group headed out to Beaver Creek for a great week with ... you guessed it ... bluebird skies and great conditions! While big groups are fun on trips, you get to know the other members on a smaller trip! A fun time was had by all! Breckenridge ... another blue bird skies trip!The plane took off from Colorado just as New England was getting dumped on! Good timing! Although no fresh snow while at Breck, members enjoyed bluebird days and excellent conditions ... and fresh powder on the departure day! Great ski in / ski out location at the base of Beaver Run lift and convenient to town. Another spectacular trip with a fun group! Loon ... thirty+ years and going strong!More than 50 members enjoyed our Loon Mt / Indian Head Resort January overnight trip this year. We had good skiing and riding with good friends and, as always, the Indian Head took good care of us. Happy hour and a buffet dinner after a day on the slopes finished off Tuesday and breakfast followed by skiing and riding on Wednesday got everyone's legs ready for the ski season ahead. We do know how to have a good time, don't we?! Snowbird ... powder, deeps, & a full moon!
The Cliff Lodge was wonderful and offered ski in / ski out, three outdoor hot tubs, and a heated pool! The Leftover Friday at Five on the 6th floor gathering spot proved fun and a chance to meet the people in the room next door! Despite our travel woes home (if you can call 11" of snow a travel woe), it was a great week! |
What a great week with great members all skiing and riding in fresh powder and on groomers! Snowbird offered steeps and deeps, trees, and groomers galore! Many members made the trek over to Alta for sunny groomers ... and a great apres atmosphere.
