                  A2SC Mobile App

                  The Ann Arbor Ski Club has a mobile app.  It runs on IOS and Android.  Jeff Crawford has written a nice piece on how to download the app.

                  Members have reported problems with the app.  An upgrade will correct the issue.  You have to delete it from your phone, then reload.
