President’s Message: Wow! Spring skiing is typical in Western part
of the country but we sure have a treat here in the
East. Hopefully some got to take advantage of
the late snow! As we had to cancel our March meeting
due to our meeting place closure, elections will be
held at the April 11th meeting. As you read this,
folks will be preparing to board the bus for Atlantic
City (April 9th) Gordie has a few spots left. Please
call today.
Also in April we turn the page on a new
club year, so please take care of your
membership dues and form – a new form is
attached in the newsletter. Deb Binkley will
provide cards at the April meeting for those
renewing. We appreciate your keeping your dues
and information up to date so that we can
include everyone in our communications.
If you are curious about our 2018 western
ski trip destination, plan to attend the meeting to
get a sneak peek. We will be accepting down
payments of $100 (with a trip form) so that you
can hold your spot. We’re heading somewhere
new! Skiers, riders and social travelers will delight in
this awesome winter vacation the board is
planning.
Please check the calendar and the
articles within for information on our upcoming
activities and events. There is still room for a few
more summer activities, so, if you have an idea,
please contact any board member.
See you at the meeting.

Recap for Steamboat Co- Ski Town USA
On February 25th 42 members took off in search of the champagne powder that Steamboat is
world famous. We weren’t disappointed with 28 inches of fresh powder that week. All you had
to do is peek in the Aspen trees or evergreen trees and you might see a pink bandana
floating by. Some of the members took advantage of the Sleigh ride dinner, Strawberry Park
Hot Springs and the Powder Cats.
Nobody went home hungry with over 100 restaurants-anything from steaks, ribs to seafood.
The grand finale was the Western Bar-B-Que atop the Gondola with plenty to eat and
dancing to a country western rock band.
Thank you to all who joined me on the Steamboat trip. I hope you enjoyed the trip and had as
much fun and laughter as I did.
Anne

and more since 1972!
