The Sunday Outings --- Ski /Hike / Snowshoe
A perfect way to get out and enjoy our wonderful local parks, with friends
and family, non-members are welcome! We will meet on Sundays in Jan and Feb
at 10:30 for breakfast and at 12 noon, at the parks. Depending on the
weather, we can ski, snowshoe or hike. And everyone may decide to go out
afterwards, too. No cost, except park entrance fees. Some of the parks do
rent skis, please call ahead and reserve, if needed. We have a great group
of people who have volunteered to lead each week. Many thanks to all of
them! Hope to see you on the trails!

Summer Volleyball in the Park
Coordinators: Jeff and Linda Schroeder (Phone: 734-973-2136)
Event Info:
Yes! Spring is here! Time to roll out them 'ole (hopefully
freshly washed) jock shorts and head for the great outdoors.
The Ski Club will again offer spring/summer Volleyball
in the Park this year. Every Monday night we will meet
for volleyball on the east side of the pavilion at Burns
Park. Burns is located on the corner of Baldwin and Wells,
in east Ann Arbor. (A close major cross street…less
than a mile northeast of Packard and Stadium Blvd). Look
for us starting at 7pm on May 8th. This is social volleyball
and everyone is welcome. Instruction is available upon
request if you'd like to learn more about the game. We'll
be looking for you!!
Softball
It's that time again - AASC summer softball is right aroung
the corner! League games begin May 7th - July 16th(no games July 2nd);
sign ups will start
in April (probably the first meeting in April). There are 6
co-rec teams. The season includes three parties (it wouldn't
be an AASC event without parties!). There will be clinics offered
for the captains/assistant captains. The price for the season
is $55.00/member, $65.00/non-member.
Questions? Contact John DeWitt, dewittje@michigan.gov, 734-546-1546
Location of Games: Mitchell Field on Fuller Road, just below
and North of the University of Michigan Medical Center.
What to Bring: Bring your selves, maybe a frisbee for after
the game, rollerblades for blading down the path to Gallop Park,
some refreshments for after the game - no alcohol at the games.
However, after the games, we party near or in the parking lot.
There is no alcohol allowed in the Mitchell Field area - it
is University - but???
Why Come to Mitchell Field? Because Mitchell Field is the place
to be on Thursday evenings. This is where you can contact many
AASC members and wannabees. Many folks join the AASC just to
participate in the softball league. We play games exclusively
with other AASC teams. Be there.
More information on softball in Ann Arbor can be found on the
Ann
Arbor Parks and Recreation web site.

Mountain Biking
OK, OK, maybe we're shy of mountains in Michigan. But
there are plenty of hilly trails through the woods, and
there is an active group of mountain bikers in the area
that goes out twice a week: Friday evenings and Sunday
mornings. The rides are usually followed by brunch or
dinner, if we feel like it. (We usually do.)
Biking schedule: click here.
Locations of the local rides: click
here.
Note: the biking schedule is NEVER final. Check the
schedule a few days before each ride "just in case."
Tennis
As of August, 2011, the Ann Arbor Ski Club no longer sponsors a tennis league.

Ski Races
You Can Be A Racer! Ann Arbor participates
in the main alpine ski racing program for Michigan adults.
It's organized by 11 ski clubs. Everything you want to
know about the program, including the latest schedule,
is on the racing web site: www.maccracing.org.
In this program you run on true FIS-style
slalom and giant-slalom courses (just like the olympics
and world cup), on the best terrain in our region. There
are 12 races scheduled for five weekends up north. Four
of the weekends are at Boyne Mountain and one is at Searchmont
in Canada.
You don't have to make every weekend. If you can make
two weekends, it's worth doing. If you can make three
or more, it's a no-brainer--if you are an alpine skier,
sign up. (And remember, fat old skiers with good technique
always beat young athletic skiers with bad technique.
In this sport, you can be "out of shape" and
still have fun and do well.)
If you're 18 and raced in high school, get
ready for Elite-1 or Elite-2. If you're 58 and have never
run gates, welcome to class D! Also 16 & 17 years
old could race at MACC if parents are registered MACC
racers. We have 12 race days covering five weekends "up
north" from January through March.
To learn more about racing with the Ann
Ann Arbor Ski Club Race Team and the Michigan Alpine Competition Counsel, please mark you calendar, October 18, 2009, 2pm - 6pm, and attend a pre-party at Holly's place. We will discuss early season training camp, Searchmont lodging, other league schedules, and new/swap equipment.
The party is open to all who are interested in learning more about ski racing and how it improves ski technique and enjoyment of recreational skiing. Please invite friends, colleagues, etc. Food, beverage, & wine will be provided.
RSVP to Holly Polopolos (734) 995-3577 hpolo2s@comcast.net or Yasumasa Miyawaki (Yaz) at yasumasa.miyawaki@gmail.com
We also welcome recreational skiers to join us for a ski trip to Searchmont Resort, Ontario Canada February 2010.
