The ski season hasn’t measured up to great expectations. Lots of snow in December, and then January and February brought little to very little snow. So, now that the ski season is half-over, let’s hope that Mother Nature blesses us with good snow conditions in March.

2023 NSC Ski Week

It’s time to start thinking about our NSC ski week for next season and I’m counting on a return to a fully normal season. I was thinking about a return trip to Sun Peaks (Canada), but perhaps it’s better to wait until 2024 and not have to deal with possible COVID testing requirements when returning to the States. Next year’s trip is still up in the air, so if you have any preferences then drop me a line at president@niseiskiclub.org.

Board Nominations

Now that it’s March, it’s time to think about Board Nominations for the 2022-23 season. If anyone has an interest in joining the board for the next season and has questions about what it entails, then just drop a note to any of the current board members, or perhaps you have someone in mind to nominate for the board. Please keep in mind that the Nisei Ski Club relies on volunteers to be on the board and undertake the running of the club. It’s not all work and no play. Board meetings this year have been online using Zoom, but we did have one face-to-face meeting that started out as a Happy Hour session but morphed into a Board meeting. It is a convenience to attend a Zoom board meeting from the comfort of home, but I do miss the face-to-face interaction and the lunches afterward.
