LIFTLINE A PUBLICATION OF THE OC SKI CLUB MARCH 2015 ER FFIC D O C R O BOA NS: D N A TIO INA TH AND M O N 9 TH CH 1 MAR RCH 26 MA Aspen, o Colorad president’s corner e, e Villag Sunshin anada ,C Alberta Consider Volunteering with the Club! Eileen Finn LeMatty President As I write, the snow is fabulous in the Northeast, the Sunday River I Trip group is having a blast, the weekend Alpine, Cross Country and weekday buses are filled with happy skiers! What a stellar year!! We haven’t seen this much Eastern powder in years. We are down to just a few Trips remaining. Banff has just returned (FABULOUS TIME); Sunday River II headed out on March 8th; Jackson Hole on March 14th; and Jay Peak on the 26th. BUT, Buses will be running into April, so don’t think the season will be ending too soon. Thank you to all the Bus Leaders and Trip Leaders. We cannot run this club without you! It’s all about volunteering. Elections will be coming up. The Board chose March 19th and 26th as Nomination dates and April 9th for the Elections. Please consider helping your club by either running for an Officer position, a Board seat, or maybe you’d like to work on a Committee. I have been volunteering since 1995 and it is both fun and rewarding. Some changes are never easy to see through. It’s a process, and as the Club grows and evolves, new ideas are always welcomed. Don’t think that because your idea/suggestion is not immediately acted upon that it never would be or is not “good enough” etc. It just isn’t always possible to make a change quickly, there are usually many factors involved, so the process can be seemingly slow because we need to consider every possible angle or every possible result of the idea/change before implementing. This is OUR Club, all inclusive. All members should let their voices be heard. Trip ideas for next season need to be looked at NOW, not in the Summer or Fall (that’s too late!). Contracts start getting signed in April for Trips, and Bus Scheduling begins in May/June. We know deals and specials pop up in the Fall, and we try to add them when possible, but due to the amount of time it takes to work out the schedule, negotiations must begin early. ANY heads up info is helpful! The best thing to do is, never give up trying, and continue to enjoy what is offered Continued on page 2 OC ELECTIONS - IT’S SOON TIME TO ROCK (SKI) THE VOTE! You’ve been having a great winter - and a great year - with lots of activities organized by your fellow OCers. But with spring coming, it’ll soon be time for OC Elections! The OC Elections give members the chance to choose who will be overseeing club activities next year. Members will be voting on the following positions: • President • Vice President for Administration • Vice President for Organized Skiing • Treasurer • Secretary • Board Member (10 positions) Nominations for these positions will be taken at the OC meetings on March 19 and 26. Elections will happen at the OC meeting on April 9. Got some ideas on how the club could be better? Why not run for a position? Want to support the club? Be sure to come and vote! in the meantime. The Club certainly does try hard to offer something for everyone. Some ideas don’t pan out, but hey, live and learn, and then move forward. So, if you have some time and energy after plowing through all that powder, consider Volunteering. Remember – we are all volunteers. Ask questions, or nicely let the event/trip/bus leader know of a problem. They aren’t trying to give anyone a hard time either, they are just trying to do the job to the best of their ability, and possibly it is a policy or procedure that is the reason something is being done a certain way. organized skiing president’s corner Continued from page 1 Happy Spring! March Madness Fred Haefeli aka “Woodtick” Vice President for Organized Skiing email - [email protected] Ok we are in one of the best months for skiing. Warmer temps, lots of snow coverage and longer daylight. A great trifecta! No excuses not to enjoy the skiing especially since the season is unfortunately winding down. We are still running week-long & weekend trips and the buses will keep rolling until at least the middle of April. I don’t consider March Spring skiing, that is what April is for. The snow is still cool not mushy. That’s it for this month’s article. I hope everyone is enjoying the great snow conditions we currently are having. REMEMBER! Any suggestions for week-long or weekend trips contact Kathy Howard at [email protected]. This will be your last chance as she will be organizing next year’s trip very soon. We want to run trips that you are interested in so we need your input! VP OF SKIING SPIRIT PHOTO – MARCH MADNESS! Eileen Studen ts becomin ski teac g hers!

Erin O’Brien Vice President for Administration March brings us the time of year when we nominate people in the club who want to keep it running for all of us. I have opted not to run again. Self imposed term limits! I have been VP of Administration for two years and I have enjoyed it! It is time to let somebody new enjoy it. Please consider running for something-office or board. Give something back to the club that gives you so much! FROM THE SECRETARY Keep your green on for one more day on March 18th and join us for the monthly Happy Hour at Public House 42, which us located at 42 Eagle Street in Albany. There are various drink and food specials. The hours are 5-8 pm. See you there! Howdy OCers, Ski the East and West! It looks like the Banffers had a great time in Canada, despite the warm temps. We are still getting pounded with snow here in the Northeast!! With a winter like this, who really needs to go out West? This Guy!! We will be leaving for Jackson Hole March 14th. I have made reservations for the Installation Banquet, and if I do say so, I got a great deal for us @ Lanthiers Grove. Tickets will be going on sale soon!! Dave Simonian Secretary We started out gang busters with the number of people on buses and it has been going downhill the past few weeks. If you are skiing local rather than getting on the bus, you are missing the social interaction that OC’s are known for. We have a few buses left on the schedule..... join us!
