President Letter: 


If you have been waiting for better conditions to go skiing, the wait is over! This week’s snow storm has brought some of the best conditions in years. The cold weather should make sure the good snow conditions will last for a while.

A trip to Bristol Mountain on Feb. 12th for a ski day with other clubs for the Ski with Heart Day looks good. 

Vermont got even more snow, which is just in time for Finger Lake’s trip to Mt. Snow. 

Out west is finally getting more of that western powder on their slopes, bound to be great by our March Park City trip.

It’s winter seasons like this that reinforce our choice to embrace the snow, instead of spending several months wishing it a way. 

So get out there and enjoy it.


Bob Sloan
