Sunday Outings
Sunday Outings, a perfect way to get out and enjoy our
wonderful local parks, with friends and family, non-members are
welcome ! We will meet each Sunday in Jan and Feb at 10:30 for
breakfast and then meet again at 12 noon, at the park activity
building. Depending on the weather, we can ski, snowshoe or hike.
And everyone may decide to go out afterwards, too. This year the
program will run like the mountain bike group: there will be a time
and place listed, but no official leader. So come out and join the
fun. No cost, except park entrance fees. If you are interested in
leading an outing or hosting an after-ski party, please let Karyn
Haas know ksh2008@yahoo.com
and updated emails can be sent. Check the monthly calendar for locations.

Instructional
Learn to Turn at Mt. Brighton 
For decades the Ann Arbor Ski Club has provided instruction
Mt. Brighton. Although most of the alpine activities are
out west or up north, a ski area 25 minutes from town
is a resource that we are lucky to have. We are joining
the Thunderbird Ski Club on Sunday mornings
for lessons at Mt. Brighton. The lessons are inexpensive and we get
a substantial discount in lift tickets through the T-birds.
However, bring your money in cash; No checks or credit
cards.
Angles!
What can be done at Mt. Brighton? If you don't ski or
board, this is the cheapest place to learn. A bunny hill
is a bunny hill, whether at Mt. Brighton or at Vail. In
the club program, you'll be able to take lessons at all
levels for 8-10 weeks (depending on the weather) - and
it is very economical.
If you kind of know how to ski or board, but are still
a beginner, you might as well learn the basics here where
it is so convenient. Then, if you make it up north or
out west, you'll be able to get off the green (beginner)
slopes and hit the blue and black (not black and blue)
slopes where the best scenery is.
What if you are an intermediate or advanced skier? Consider
running gates. Unlike many types of racing, ski racing
is not won by those in the best physical condition, nor
is it won by those willing to take the biggest risk by
"pointing them downhill." Instead, it is won
by those who can make the best turns. You have to go around
the gates (poles), and if you don't turn very well, you
don't go very fast. Note the pictures above. They are
of skiers before and after lessons with gates. Note that
the picture on the left shows the skier leaning into the
hill with too much weight on the inside ski. The second
picture shows a much more dynamic stance with most of
the weight on the outside (left) ski (but both skis are
working). Note that in the second picture the upper body
more vertical (almost in line with the gate or pole).
This leaves him ready to initiate the next turn without
skidding.
If you spend any time running gates, you will find that
your ability to turn when and where you want will improve
tremendously. It will help your skiing in the trees and
in the bumps, and you will be able to leave those railroad
track ski marks in the snow. Even if you don't like to
ski fast, you'll find that you have better control after
you've spent a few nights trying to make it around the
gates. This is where the convenience of Brighton pays
off: gates at Brighton are the same as gates at Vail.
A turn is a turn. Brighton will give you several opportunities
to improve this year.
Here are the details for the Mt. Brighton program.
- When: Sunday mornings.
- Dates: see calendar
- Times: Signup: 10:00AM -- 11:00 12:30PM -- 1:00
Lessons: 11:00AM -- 12:00 1:00PM -- 2:00
- Cost: Lessons: $10(payable in cash only)
Sign-up: The AASC will be joining the Ford Thunderbirds'
program for ski and nowboard lessons this year. The Thunderbirds
have an established lesson program with PSIA-certified
instructors for ski lessons. The lessons are pay as you
go.
Rentals: Not included. Contact Mt. Brighton and allow
time before the class to get equipment.
Go to the ski lesson desk
inside on the left of the center walk through to purchase.
Since we are not contracting through Mt. Brighton for
lessons, we will not receive a discount at the ticket window.

Once again, we will be getting together to play golf every other sunday this
summer at various golf courses around the area through the end of September,
weather permitting. These are casual, fun outings. Partners and regular attendance
are not required.
We play Sunday afternoons and frequently gather afterwards for a potluck
cookout at someone’s home. BYOB and a dish to pass. Other times we’ll simply
gather at the course clubhouse or a nearby tavern to socialize afterward.
Non-golfers are welcome to attend the post-golf gatherings.
To reserve your tee time for any Sunday, contact Kirk Haverkamp at least
one week ahead of time to make your reservation and get directions to the
pot luck or post party.
Players are responsible for their own green fees and cart rental. No shows
are obligated to pay by course rules. Please arrive at least 20 minutes before
your tee time to care of your green fees and meet with your foursome. Singles,
doubles and threesomes will be matched up with others to fill out the groups.
We play both 9 and 18 hole events. Often people wishing to play more or less than the
scheduled number of holes can still be accomodated. Please check with Kirk when you
email or call. All dates and venues are subject to change. Watch this space for updates.

the game, rollerblades for blading down the path to Gallop Park,
some refreshments for after the game - no alcohol at the games.

participate in the softball league. We play games exclusively
with other AASC teams. Be there.

dinner, if we feel like it. (We usually do.)
Biking schedule: click here.

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
Arbor Ski Club, contact Yasumasa Miyawaki (Yaz) at (ymiyawaki@ppg.com)
