6 Martin, Tom O Donnell, Dave Bensema, John Henning, Catherine Monzingo, Eddie Siliezar, Carol Hill. Lower Left: Jill Johnson, Beth O Donnell. Twenty-three club members gathered in Snowmass for a wonderful week of skiing and fun. Some of us stayed at Tamarack condos while others stayed at Top of Village condos. Both condo complexes were conveniently located to the slopes of Snowmass. While some elected to ski exclusively at Snowmass, others skied at Aspen Mountain (Ajax), Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk. The OVSC treated us to a Welcome Reception on Sunday evening. Everyone enjoyed the food, drinks, fun and fellowship of skiers/boarders from the LSSC as well as the other participating OVSC clubs. An OVSC sponsored Après Ski event was held Monday afternoon at Base Camp. The OVSC also sponsored a picnic on the slopes on Tuesday. It was a perfect place and day. The OVSC sponsored a Farewell Event on Thursday afternoon at the Limelight Hotel. We once again had the chance to share our good times with other OVSC participating clubs. Everyone seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves. While we didn t have any significant new snow, we enjoyed great views, weather and ski conditions as evidenced by the smile on Eddie Fancy Pants Siliezar s face (below). Actually, he wore that smile all week. He is the life of the party actually he brings the party with him.

7 Some visited the Winter X Games that were held at Buttermilk Mountain during the first two days of our visit. Many of our group found the time to visit and shop in downtown Aspen. I would like to give a shout out to the six new LSSC members who joined us on the trip. They are Dave Bensema, Joe Brown, John Henning, Jill Johnson, Glenn Marcum, and Eddie Siliezar. Several us gathered for a hearty breakfast before heading home.

Local SKI TRIPs Trip REPORT - SNOWSHOE, WV January Trip Leader Tom O Donnell The first of two trips to Snowshoe Mountain resort in West Virginia was taken by a group of 10 members on Martin Luther King weekend. Our weekend included some extreme weather with some snow, sleet and

9 freezing rain along the way. The wind on MLK day nearly blew us off the mountain along with the quick change to sub-zero temps but all had a great time and came back from the weekend with fond memories. TRIP REPORT SNOWSHOE, WV March Trip Leader Tom O Donnell The second trip to Snowshoe Mountain resort in West Virginia was taken by a group of 18 members the past week of February 10-13th.
