JANUARY-FEBRUARY HIGHLIGHTS Free Lift Tickets Snow Trails Meeting ASC Winter Challenge Holiday Valley Trip I hope everyone had a great Christmas & New Year. We had a good one this year and got many great gifts from each other. Snow Trails opened up mid-month with everything open. I have been able to get up several times enjoying the great conditions. I have seen several members up there getting their ski legs back in shape for this year. We had another great turn out at our annual Christmas Party with close to 60 people there. Thanks again to my fellow Board members in getting the auction set up and having the night go nice and smooth. A Thank You also goes out to all the members that donated and bid on the items for the auction. It was a great success again this year. We raised over $1,500 for the TAASC program which has changed its name to the Adaptive Sports Connection. Even though I will not be able to attend please join other club members at Snow Trails for the fund raiser on Feb. 3 rd when we will donate the money to them. It should be a great time. If you have some time on Saturdays they are looking for volunteers to help with the program. Let me know if you are interested and I will get you contact information. With ski season in full swing now our next meeting will be held at Snow Trails on Friday. The following weekend there is a group of our club going to Holiday Valley for a family fun mid-week trip. If you are interested there still might be rooms available. You just need to call the Inn and see or I can check for you.
