Now that Summer’s here, how ‘bout kayaking & canoeing, biking, COMBINED biking and kayaking “Pedal & Paddle” events, hiking, golf, pickleball or other fun ideas? We have a few lined up, but are looking for volunteers to host events such as these. We’re trying a new “roll-your-own” process to make it MUCH easier for trip/event leaders. You just set a date, time and location for people to show up. . . If it’s an out-of-town, overnight event, just suggest a motel where participants can make their own reservations and travel arrangements. You don’t have to handle money, collect registration forms, buy food, or arrange transportation – basically just come up with the idea. Please contact Alternative Trip Chair, Joe Knopp, or Activities Coodinators Vicki Watson and Darlene Morin with any ideas you have, or any questions on how to get the events set up.

Dennis Slough was near and dear to many in the Ann Arbor Ski Club and his love for the club was undeniable. He served in many capacities, including past President and Website Administrator. 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. |

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.
