One excellent way to get to know the club and meet members, or to learn what's new in the club is to come to a General Meeting.
The fun typically includes ice-breaking conversation over snacks and beverages followed by dancing to a DJ's tunes, with the business conducted in-between. Some nights more business happens, but on a typical evening it's concluded in about 30 minutes leaving plenty of time for entertainment. What kind of business? Filling up trips! Announcing trips, answering questions. Also, announcing and answering questions regarding upcoming events. And asking and answering questions!

Details to come soon
Sun Valley’s consistent pitch, lack of lift lines and variety of terrain has earned it a reputation as one of the world’s finest ski mountains, for all levels of skiers.
The resort has 40 km of groomed Nordic trails (fees apply) and a Nordic center with rentals and clinics in addition to a 160 km network throughout the area providing pretty much ski-in/ski-out access along with an area bus system to move you from point to point.
Note:
Air into Boise on United, charter bus up and mountain. 5 and 6 day ikon pass options (along with full ikon pass options from encompass). Condos with several hotel rooms thrown into the mix.
Home to not one but three world-class resorts, the snowboarding and skiing in Banff National Park is second to none.
Trip Leaders: Dan Flynn & Ed Brambs
Tucked within the boundaries of Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies, the ski towns of Banff and Lake Louise provide home-base to three distinctive ski resorts; Banff Sunshine, The Lake Louise Ski Resort and Mt Norquay.
The three resorts boast 7,748 acres of skiable terrain, 2 gondolas, 27 chairlifts and 30 feet of feather-light, dry Canadian Rockies powder annually – all accessible with one SkiBig3 Lift Ticket.
Banff will be hotel rooms in Banff, an Ikon pass will be bundled in the contract. Flight into Calgary, bus up the mountain
With 5317 acres of terrain, seven Legendary Back Bowls and three terrain parks, it's no wonder Vail is considered a top ski destination.
Trip Leaders: Jim Kelly & Lisa Salisbury
North America's biggest and most popular ski resort, Vail is an alpine village in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Long a favorite of serious skiers and jet setting celebrities, Vail now also draws a younger, hipper snowboarding crowd. Skiing is king at Vail Mountain and the Blue Sky Basin, but the area's vast splendor is perfect for hiking, biking, snowmobiling or scenery-gazing at any time of the year.
We are waiting for air to load (several weeks out) and housing will be condos in Lionshead Village. Lift passes will not be included, there is a wide selection that participants will have to select from separately. Flight into Denver, bus up the mountain
