By Sally Shimada-Lee and Ski Buddies, NSC Members

From February 7–14, 2026, we had the pleasure of joining our first Nisei Ski Club trip to Park City.

I joined NSC one year ago and invited seven of my ski buddies to become members as well. We all enjoy skiing, playing pickleball and cards, and traveling—and eating—together, so this felt like the perfect opportunity to experience new adventures and meet new friends among the warm, welcoming members of the club.

Bringing together a group of 34 members takes a great deal of planning, organizing, and communication, and we truly appreciate the excellent job Armand did as trip leader.

Thanks to his hard work, the trip was a wonderful success, and we look forward to many more fun adventures with this active group in the future.

The locals even joked that we sunny Californians brought much-needed snow to Utah—and shortly after, our own Sierra Nevada received record-breaking snowfall as well. To all skiers: enjoy this fantastic season, and ski safely.
