Recognize this ski area? Only one person identified it as the top of the Teton Lift at Jackson Hole. With the Thanksgiving storm that came in, it’s a sure bet that all the Tahoe resorts will be open in December for your skiing pleasures.
Last month I mentioned that Northstar will have paid parking at the Village lot (Yellow lots) and free at the Castle Peak lot. Major bummer for Northstar fans. For you Squaw aficionados, there’s a rumor going around that they will also start paid parking. No surprise there.
Whistler Ski Week 2020
The Whistler trip is just around the corner (1-8 February) and now is the time to get your ski gear ready. Ski tune-ups are always useful to get sharp edges for carving and any base work performed for smooth gliding down the slopes. Tahoe resorts will be open in December and, hopefully, you can get a few days of skiing before the Whistler trip. The Whistler Orientation meeting will be held on Saturday, January 11th, so mark your calendars. This will be an opportunity to meet other members on the trip, socialize a bit, and pick-up the souvenir gift. The Whistler pamphlet will be distributed by email since the Orientation meeting and our trip departure are very close. An Evite will be sent out in December that provides all the details. If you don’t receive an Evite, then let me know at president@niseiskiclub.org. Also, Karen Soo is coordinating the potluck dinner and will be sending out an email listing your condo mates so you can get a head start on putting together your potluck menu.
Christmas Greetings
This has been a good year for NSC with the popular Big Sky Trip, the annual picnic Membership Meeting, and the FWSA Historic Ski Club designation bestowed on NSC. On behalf of the NSC board I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year!
