President's LetterSeptember 2011 Hi folks, The 2011-2012 ski season begins. The Omaha Ski Club has been fortunate these last few years to retain many of their members and gain a few new members along the way. Last year we completed five trips to Copper Mtn, Telluride, Steamboat, Durango/Wolf Creek and Jackson Hole. We have had “exotic dinners” at some of the Omaha area establishments and have had monthly Board meetings. During the summer, we have been busy planning trips to offer our members. This year we start at Copper Mtn followed by Vail. We then join with FSA for the Crested Butte Trip followed by our premier week-long trip to Banff and Lake Louise Canada. We are able to offer these trips and get discounted tickets/lodging only when our members sign-up to go with us. Most areas offer “group” pricing to groups of 20 or more. It is hard to plan for the trip with 20 and not have the numbers. The club loses money when we have to then pay for the difference between a group and individual pricing. We may plan to offer another trip in mid February if the membership numbers are adequate on the other four offerings. If you have any suggestions, let Teri know so she can plan the trip! This summer,
with the water as high as it was, has me wondering what the snow will be like
next winter. “Will there be as much snow this ski season?” It's been a long
time since I skied as many days on powder as I did last season. I had new snow
on every trip that I went on. The most was at Jackson Hole. When we were there
last season, they had received their 530th inch of snow. With that in mind I
think that everyone should sign up for at least one trip because I think this
will be another good season!
