Terrace Inn Signups
at September 10 Meeting 

Terrace Inn sign-ups begin at our September 10 kickoff meeting. Last year we sold out, so don’t be “left out in the cold”. We all had a great time and anticipate more of the same this year. Sign up procedure, contracts and all the information you require is here.


If you want to breeze through the signup process, print your contract ahead of time and have it fully filled out. You will not be allowed to queue up until your paperwork has been fully filled out and vetted.

2026 Golf Outing

We are gauging interest in restarting the Ann Arbor Ski Club golf outing. The plan would be to do a 9 hole scramble on a Sunday afternoon in either late September or early October with some food and drinks afterwards. You would be able to enter either as an individual or with others that you would like to golf with. You do not need to be a highly skilled golfer to participate in this event. If you would be potentially interested, pending final arrangements, please email Dave Birkhold

Next issue: Wednesday, September 23.

Trips

2027 and 2028 Alpine Trips

Hello skiers! Now is the time to make your first big payment for the 2027 Alpine trips. Please refer to your contracts for details on making payments and the amounts due. You should have also received an email from the trip leaders.  Our trip leaders are all volunteers so please don’t make them chase you down for payment! If you are reconsidering your skiing plans, please communicate with the trip leaders NOW as they are all managing wait lists and we would like to accommodate those members if we can. 

Planning for 2028 trips will be taking place this fall. If you are interested in helping select our destinations or you would like to be a trip leader/co-leader please contact Jim Kelly to be put on the committee list. No obligation if you participate, we like to hear everyone’s opinions on where we should go next!

The Vail trip has an opening for one female to share a room, but not a bed. Interested? Contact Jim Kelly or Lisa Salisbury.
