Recap of our

Annual Banquet

Saturday March 28



Our annual banquet at The Point by Springside was well attended and was a fun time to interact with other members. Fifty-three people joined us to celebrate another great year.

President Bob Sloan mentioned our future trips for 2027 (Whitefish, MT and Dolomites, Italy) and presented the annual awards. Congratulations to Christine Edge-Christensen for the Pat Glancy Enthusiasm award, Kelly Buck for Project of the Year (Park City trip), and Linda Tersegno for Member of the Year. A special award was given to Carol Hamilton for her work as treasurer. Bob introduced and swore in the new board members, who start in May. VP Joan Bozogian did a great job handing out some gag awards for members’ humorous situations or “special achievements” during the past year.


Thanks to Teresa Hoy Gilbert for planning the good menu and a very nice event!

President Letter: 


The ski season is winding down, and we have already started planning for next season. Our ski trips have always been very successful, so next season we have decided to add another trip. We will be adding a midweek western trip to Whitefish Montana, besides offering a European ski week to the Italian Alps.

Being able to offer a 2nd ski week, is a good example of the ski club board working hard to give our members more of what they like. We will be planning many more activities thru spring and summer, so make sure you check the newsletter and our e-blast

Park City Big Trip Recap


On March 7, 38 travelers hit the road for FLSC’s 2026 big trip to beautiful Park City, Utah. Twenty-seven flew together; the other 11 made their own way to the mountain. We had a little difficulty getting off the ground in Syracuse – “we don’t have enough fuel to get to Chicago, now we have too much fuel!” – so we missed our original connection in Chicago. United did well rebooking all 27 of us onto a later flight that still got us to Salt Lake City with plenty of time for the short bus ride up to Park City before our welcome pizza party.


The Hotel Thaynes was a beautiful, recently renovated hotel about a mile outside of town. The free shuttle service worked very well, taking us to the mountain, downtown and Deer Valley almost anytime we wanted. The sun shone bright just about every day, and some of us got a raccoon-eye tan. While it was a meager snow year out west for sure, and many runs were down to the dirt and closed, we still found plenty of terrain to keep us busy. We did miss some fresh powder, though, but made the best of it. 


While the primary mountain was Park City (Epic), many chose to ski at nearby Deer Valley at least one day (Ikon). Salt Lake and Park City host the 2034 Winter Olympics, and the area is already under construction to host the world. Park City was founded as a silver mining camp over 100 years ago, and many of the runs are named after that industry. Many took the free historical mine on-skis mountain tour offered. Very interesting.


We had a great optional lunch gathering on Monday, après happy hour with live music on Wednesday, and lots of time in the fabulous indoor/outdoor hot pool area. Friday was a long day skiing or touring around, then departing the hotel at 6:00pm for a couple hours and dinner in downtown Salt Lake City. At 9:00pm we headed to the airport for a late red-eye flight home. It was tiring but we were home by 1:00pm on Saturday, giving us the rest of the weekend to unpack and catch up on sleep and chores.


Many thanks to everyone who came and who helped! A trip is only as good as its participants, and everyone was great! We’ll ski the Dolomites in Italy next March!
