1 July 2018 Volume 80, Issue 7 Kris Kolumn By Kris president@longbeachskiclub.org Welcome 80th Year of the Long Beach Ski Club!!! El Niño is on the Horizon! Let s BBQ & Party! While you all are enjoying the typical summer doings, Mike Zullo, our new VP of Weekend Trips is busy promoting fun, local activities, like kayaking and stand up board paddling through Naples and Alamitos Bay, and a bike-skate-skateboard-razor scooter-walk. Great ways way to get ready for the upcoming ski season and trips to Mammoth. Yours truly will be hosting the July BBQ with croquet, badminton, possibly horse shoes, and ping pong. At the same time, Mark Malan, VP of Week Trips, is considering going to Big Sky with other lucky skiers for a club in-country experience, as well as something special for an out-of-country trip. To bolster your thoughts of skiing during the upcoming season, you might like to know that weather prognosticators have identified the strongest El Niño conditions in the South Pacific that they ve seen for many years. Traditionally, this has led to more rain and snow in and along the coast. When combined with a northern cold front, Mammoth gets bigger dumps. The local mountains, too. 'Nuf said. So, keep your gear (and body) in good working shape. I am looking forward to being able to sail again, towards the end of summer, and ski in the new season, or whenever the doc says my rotator cuff is OK. 'Til then, I ll have to be a kindly skipper, plying crew with ample food and drink. David Lopez out bid others for Kris Kruise, for which a number of crew have already volunteered. I encourage everyone to pick up the phone this summer and call past ski club members to check on them and to cajole them into coming to one of our events, a BBQ, one of Mike s activities or a General Meeting at Ecco s Pizza. These events are fun and a great way for Craig Gibson, our Membership Chair, to increase our Membership. His goal this year is to surpass 100. Be safe this 4th and Cheers! Kris

The international trip looks like it will be Cervinia, Italy! Club Med is making us a great deal. More to follow. The FWSA conference was fun this year.

You are invited to next year's convention that will be in the Palm Desert area. It appears that many ski clubs are morphing into travel clubs.

9 LONGBEACH SKI CLUB July 2018 Volume 80, Issue 7 MARK & MARIETTA MALAN Week Trips with Mark Malan The season is just ending and I'm asking you to think about next year. Our club is considering Big Sky, Montana in early February 2019.The trip will have a low cost to those that have the Mammoth IKON pass. The international trip looks like it will be Cervinia, Italy! Club Med is making us a great deal. More to follow. The FWSA conference was fun this year. There was an exciting white water raft trip, hiking at Lake Tahoe, golfing, and a lot of great ski club ideas for non-ski travel. You are invited to next year's convention that will be in the Palm Desert area. It appears that many ski clubs are morphing into travel clubs. Bike/Barge tours are very popular. But, if I was to travel in August I'd go to Chile because that is where the vertical feet are. Keep your tips up, Mark weektrips@longbeachskiclub.org Big Sky Cervinia, Italy
