In his honor the club has made a donation to the National Parks Foundation. You are invited to his memorial on Saturday, June 10 at 4 pm at LIVE. Please click here for more information. |

Sports
America offers us a portal for buying IKON and EPIC passes. See the links
below. We get a 6% rebate on your purchase price that is applied to the
cost of any ski trips you take next year. If you have questions, contact
Jim Kelly.
Please note that for some trips, including Snowmass/Aspen, buying lift tickets as part of the trip package, will be MUCH cheaper than buying an IKON pass.
