Karen Soo – Trip Director

It’s October and it started to rain in the bay area. I predict snow will start falling after Halloween. Before you know it, Thanksgiving will be here, Christmas and then New Years. Our weekend trip is just around the corner.

As you might have heard, Squaw Valley Resort and Alpine Meadows have joined forces. It just so happens that we are going to Squaw Valley Resort and Alpine for Trip 2. Weekend of March 2-4, 2012.

I don’t know the group ticket pricing at this time, but I’m sure there will be a discount for skiing 2 days at their resorts.

There are a few ski events coming to the Bay area.

  • November 5 and 6, 2011 San Francisco Ski and Snowboard Festival
  • November 12 and 13, 2011 Silicon Valley and Snowboard Festival

Free admission if you volunteer.  Plus 3 free lift tickets with each admission.

Look out for next month for the Weekend and Mammoth prices.

Until next month, keep those leg muscles limber and start doing your squats.
