Membership Activity

Not much activity for December, however we did get one returning member since he wanted to go someplace that has snow and now he’s signed up for the Sun Peaks trip. Hopefully there may be a few more membership signups as we get closer to the weekend ski trip to Squaw Valley/Northstar on Feb 28 – Mar 2.  Our membership currently stands at 50 members.

Sun Peaks Ski Week

The Sun Peaks ski week is almost here and I’m looking forward to skiing with the “snow angels” (Big White calls them “snow ghosts”). Allen Hu decided that there’s nothing happening in Tahoe so he decided that Sun Peaks is the place to go, and that brings us to 24 members on the trip. On Saturday, 11 January, we’re having our Sun Peaks orientation meeting where members can get information about Sun Peaks, trail maps, an NSC pamphlet for details on the trip, and their NSC souvenir. The Sun Peaks ski week is from 8-15 February, and this date was chosen based on the following:

  • Flight availability, and
  • Hopefully watch the 49ers in Superbowl XLVIII (2 February)

If you have any questions regarding the trip don’t hesitate to send email me (president@niseiskiclub.org).

All the winter storms are hitting north of us and Sun Peaks now has 46” at the top of the Crystal Chair (my last report indicated 30”). Don’t look at these webcams if you think you can’t handle the beauty and nature of what Sun Peaks has to offer:
