Another year, another NSC birthday. This year NSC will be celebrating its 65th anniversary and the board is working on some possible events to celebrate this milestone. As we go into the New Year the board is also working on having more non-ski events, possible changes for the 2023-24 ski season, and efforts to boost our membership. Meanwhile, Mother Nature is replaying last year’s tune and blessing the Tahoe region with plenty of snow (and at times, unfortunately, rain).
Welcome to the Chinese Year of the Rabbit! Yes, the Chinese New Year starts January 22nd and celebrations culminate with the Lantern Festival on February 5th. In Chinese culture, rabbits represent the moon. Some say it is because the shadows of the moon resemble a rabbit. Others say it is because of the rabbit’s pure characteristics. People born in the year of the Rabbit (1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, etc.) are often considered to be kind, but also showing confidence and strength.
2023 NSC Ski Week in Breckenridge
At the end of the month the Magnificent 11 Breckenridge Bravados will depart the California landscape and be transported to one of the best places (and highest) for skiing in Colorado. The last time NSC members schussed on the Breckenridge slopes was back in 1987. A lot has changed in all those years: more lifts, more terrain, and definitely higher lift prices.
