Ann Arbor Ski Club - Winter Racing Opportunities + Informational Meeting!
Interested in trying ski racing this winter? The Ann Arbor Ski Club offers two great ways to get involved-whether you're brand new or looking to sharpen your skills.
Mt. Brighton Wednesday Night Racing (8 Weeks): Join us for an eight-week NASTAR-style race series every Wednesday night at Mt. Brighton. It's a fun, supportive way to learn racing basics, improve your technique, and meet other skiers. Boyne Mountain Weekend Racing (5 Weekends): Boyne Mountain will host slalom and giant slalom races on Saturdays and Sundays across five weekends. Racers are grouped by age and ability so everyone competes on a fair, balanced course.
Come learn about both race programs, ask questions, and meet fellow potential racers and teammates. After the meeting, you're encouraged to stay and watch the Detroit Lions vs. Minnesota Vikings game!
All are welcome- racers and non-racers alike!
Questions? Email or text Alan Osterdale: ostins@juno.com or 248-408-6906.
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!

This is a new location for us in Whistler. Condo style accommodations, complementary ski valet at the foot of the gondola, and free shuttle service (less than a ten minute walk).
Whistler is known for its skiing and snowboarding in the winter and mountain biking and hiking in the summer. Other winter activities that are enjoyed in Whistler are cross country skiing (both classic and skate skiing), ice skating, snowshoeing, backcountry skiing, telemark skiing, and tobogganing. Summer activities enjoyed in Whistler include golfing, fishing, trail running, mountain biking, outdoor yoga, and hiking.
For skiing, arguably the main attraction of Whistler, the different run difficulties (easiest to hardest) are green (circle), blue (square), black (diamond), and double black (diamond). Throughout the year each run's difficulty stays the same.[19] There are many signs around the mountain that indicate the difficulty of the runs and there are "expert only" signs at the bottom of some chairlifts indicating that most of the runs accessible from that chair are black diamonds or double black diamonds.
Lodging
Modern one and two bedroom fully equipped suites with all the luxuries of home. Delta Hotels by Marriott is situated in the heart of Whistler Village, just steps away from world class skiing, shopping, dining and so much more.
