Skiing in August? Well, maybe not around here but I will be schussing Valle Nevado, Chile from 1-7 August, and then spending a few days in Santiago touring around. Unfortunately, I’m scheduled to return on 11 August and will miss the Annual Membership Meeting & Luau Picnic.
The Puerta del Sol hotel (the one with the angled roof) sits at 9,924 ft. and the top of Tres Puntas (single-person J-bar lift) is 12,641 ft. Definitely high altitude country. Unlike in the states, South American ski resorts use T-bars and J-bars (similar to pomas) quite a bit.

Zelle is now available for submitting membership fees and the Membership Form has been updated with a checkbox for a Zelle membership payment.

Zelle Coming to NSC
Jason Ku, our new treasurer, brought a proposal to last month’s board meeting outlining how NSC can implement Zelle for making online payments (i.e. membership, events, etc.). Review his article for all the details and let him know if you have any questions.
One Warm Coat Drive
Don’t forget to go through your closets and if you come across any warm coats that you no longer need then bring them to the picnic as a donation for the One Warm Coat Drive.
2026 NSC Ski Week to Park City
Signups for Park City have been coming in and we’ve got 23 Park City Warriors signed up so far. There are 36 air seats reserved, and room for 44 people. New signups will be put on a Waitlist until a condo can be filled. Park City is on the Epic Pass and you will need to get an Epic Pass for this trip.
Online lift ticket prices are not exactly user-friendly and group rates are not available. August 15 is the due date for the second payment, so get your checkbooks ready.
