It was a great time with lots of food, fun and prizes! Thanks to Nancy Anderson for attending and donating two 8 hour lift tickets to Song/Lab for door prizes. Another pleasant surprise was her announcement of $25 lift tickets to either mountain with your FLSC membership! It certainly pays to belong! Our trip to Solden, Austria now has 50 participants! That s the largest number we ve seen in a while, and thanks to Bob Sloan for his ongoing work in that regard. About the middle of January, Bob will be putting out information on lift tickets for those going on the trip. I Ski NY Day is Thursday, January 28 this year. We will ski at Bristol as a group for $24 that day! See inside for details. Other areas are $12. As I write this, I am looking forward to skiing and praying for snow. Everyone should have their new 2016 membership cards now, but if you haven t received yours yet, let me know and I will get it out to you! Think Snow! ~ FLSC President Dan Cannucciari Opening Party at Song!
