10 Honorary Lunar Winner modeling her prize Big Snow I - Wrap-Up 2019 Trip Leader: Randy Zurbuchen Another great start to the New Year and a way to see if all the ski gear you got for Christmas or last year still worked!!! We picked up 50 people in Green Bay and Appleton for the trip up on Lamers bus. Al, our friendly driver, was on the spot. Earlier in the week, Michigan received 8 inches of fresh snow which created a good ski surface. Saturday many people skied Indianhead. After skiing, people enjoyed the Sky Bar music, watching NFL playoffs, swimming, and/or hot tubbing. The Indianhead dinner staff did a great job on the dinner. After dinner, people had a chance to listen to the band at Dudley s bar. On Sunday, people went to Blackjack to enjoy the nicely groomed surfaces. After a full day of skiing, we loaded and headed home. On the way home, to ease congestion at a fast food place, we called ahead to Culvers and they handled the food quickly and tastefully. After nominations, the Lunar award went to an individual who had a slight problem identifying the appropriate container for pouring hot syrup on the breakfast pancakes. (Note: It does not look like the coffee decanter!!) Roads were clear and we made good time coming back home.
