Learn to Cross country ski JANUARY highlights holiday valley midweek Seven springs red-eye 2012 Happy Hours 2011 Year in review Hey!..Some Grinch is stealing our Christmas Snow. When you plan skiing events you expect there to be snow piles and piles of fluffy white stuff. I may have to get the lawnmower out again. My grass is still growing! Some of my Spring flowers are starting to push up and look around. I m sure I saw an ad for a TV special entitled, Frosty the Slushball!!! Are you kidding!?! Bumpity, bump, bump, bumpity, bump, bump, look at Frosty melt. Humbug! We need Hell to freeze over! We need Scrooge to be visited by ghosts!! We need the Grinch s heart to grow three sizes!!! We need a magic Christmas wind to breathe a little life back into Frosty and bring about a three and a half foot dump for Snow Trails! Our January meeting is in the Alpine room at Snow Trails on Friday January 6th, from 6 to 9 pm. Some of you may ski the day... some of you may ski the evening some of you may stay the night in your cozy motel room. Hopefully all of you will show up to buy a few more tickets before the Medium Raffle Drawing occurs about midway through the meeting. The more you buy, the better your chances! Remember a part of the proceeds go to TAASC. Come and have a good time with your ski friends. So bring your significant other and be of good cheer.
