 Welch Village Trip Report   January 6-8, 2012

Temperatures in the 30’s, sunshine, good snow, underfoot and no crowds or lift lines. Were we skiing in Minnesota or Paradise? 47 skiers including newbies, Kelli, George, Mike, Georgia, and Mark, were blessed with a balmy January weekend. Good Knights of Columbus dinner on the bus ride up, good complimentary lunch on the hill on Saturday, and a good wine and cheese party après ski on Sunday were enjoyed by all. Our traditional domino game was won again by Barry. Did we mention he was the scorekeeper? Now you know why we run the weekend trips together. If one of us goes down, the other one is waiting in the wings to take over. You’ll have to ask people on the trip for the other Welch health tips …. Reported By: Dean and Kris Foster

 Steamboat Trip Is Still Going This Year!!!

Sign-ups are needed for the Steamboat trip as soon as possible, as sales are lagging.  As of Oct. 19th, we have only 11 folks signed up and we need 24 to reach our break-even point.  So, don't delay.  Contact Barb L. now to sign up for our final ski trip of the 2011 season.

March 10-17, 2012 – Steamboat, Colorado

Update on Steamboat Trip:  This trip will take place, as we still only have 10 folks who have rsigned up. Our travel agent is working with a group of 4 folks out of New Jersey who may piggy-back on this trip, but that has not been finalized yet. If these folks sign up and we do take the trip, there will be a price increase per person of an amount estimated to be less than $100. If the trip is cancelled, folks will get all trip payments made refunded to them. As this trip may be cancelled, we are working with our travel agent on other possible locations, so if you did not sign up for Steamboat, we may have another option for you to consider. But, you can still sign up for Steamboat! Contact Barb L. if you are interested. You can't beat the price. Trip Price: $1,150 per person,  (see week trips)

Hello Aspen Skiers! I would like to offer a baggage/equipment transportation service for our trip to Aspen, CO Jan 21-28.The current luggage rates for United Airlines are $25 for first bag and $35 for asecond bag (skis and boot bag are considered single item) Which equals $60 eachway.My solution is to pick up your bags and equipment before the Jan 19th meeting at 5:30pm and take them to Aspen by Saturday for $60 round trip which is a 50% savings! Additionally, this allows you to quick check-in at airport with your carry on only! I will be making a list of interested people at the meetings or you may call and let me know that way. I will have your luggage available to be picked up at the Feb 2nd meeting.      Thank You, John Ruffner

Are you going to Aspen and are interested in having John Ruffner transport your luggage. Call John for information ASAP.

I am printing this as I received it. I found it a little confusing. I suggest calling to clarify, if necessary. Please advise your CMSC club members that if they would like to use a discounted ticket at Wilmot Mountain on Tuesdays or Thursdays evenings, they can contact Kari Ortegel or Ryan Church in Group Sales at 262-862-2301 or This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it and let them know you are coming. They will then print off discounted CMSC vouchers and have them ready for pickup in the office. Just tell them your club affiliation and show ID. These vouchers can be used at any lift cashier at Wilmot Mountain on Tuesday & Thursdays evenings (not including Holidays) and be rung up for a $23 lift ticket with the option of adding Ski Rental $10, Snowboard Rental $20 or a Helmet Rental $10 (plus a $10 refundable deposit for all rentals) during the 2011-12 Season. If a club member wants to share the experience with a friend, they can request two vouchers and take a complimentary group lesson. Anyone who uses these vouchers must check in by 6pm, especially if they want to take the last group lesson of the day at 7 pm.
