We have wrapped up a very successful ski season. Many thanks to our trip leaders: Cheryl Anderson and Greg Robertson (Sun Valley), Dan Flynn and Ed Brambs (Banff), Lisa Salisbury and Jim Kelly (Vail). I went on the Sun Valley and Vail trips. They were both wonderful and our trip leaders did a great job organizing events and keeping everything running smoothly. That was the same feedback I got from attendees on the Banff trip.

Additionally, our Michigan and cross-country ski season is drawing to a close. Many thanks to Anne Gilbert and Greg Robertson for a wonderful instructional weekend and Darlene Morin for putting together the ever popular Terrace Inn combined trip. Lane Hotchkiss continues to punch above his weight with the numerous cross country trips he coordinated.

Next year we are going to St. Antons, Mt. Bachelor and Telluride. Signups start at the Aloha Party on Thursday, May 15. I’m already looking forward to these trips.

Our annual meeting and elections are coming up April 17. It is important that we get a quorum (at least 50 people), so please attend if possible. We will be going over our accomplishments and financial status from the prior fiscal year, and electing our new board. If you have any pictures that you would like included in the annual slide show, please send them to: newmanaasc@gmail.com no later than April 10.  

Thank you for helping make the AASC the best ski club in Michigan!
