Next Outing: Thinking About 2014!

Ski Club members, back from our Jan. 26-Feb. 2 trip to Snowbird and Alta in Utah, are talking about our next adventure in early 2014. Most votes so far favor a return to Europe, particularly France. Courcheval and Megev have been mentioned often. However, all ideas are welcome. Nothing is foreclosed. And new recruits have a special invitation to join us.

• January 2012:  For the third time, we skied Val d’Isere, France, the only venue we’ve returned to twice!
• January 2013: For a change of perspective, we went West rather than East and skied Snowbird and Alta in Utah.
