Karen Soo – Trip Director
Is your ski season over yet? I know we barely had fresh snow in the months of January and February but don’t call it quits yet. Take those skis and snowboards out of the closet. The Tahoe area is finally bombed with fresh snow this past week. Most of the Tahoe resorts reported 1-2 feet of new snow.
In February, thirty Nisei Ski Club members went on their annual weekend trip to Alpine and Northstar. We thank our 7 members from Monterey Ski and Social club for coming along for the ride. We had Grady as our driver and a new bus service. For the most part, we had good conditions and we had a great time skiing together. Thank you Amy Tsuhako for being my co-tour leader. We had plenty of food, drinks, snacks and good company.
The San Jose group had a new departure site. Due to a new property management, we are no longer allowed to park over night at Fourth Street Bowl. Thanks to Jennifer Kaneda, 17 of our members were able to park in a secure location near the Specialty Bakery at North 1st Street and Trimble Road.
Nisei Ski Club had a successful trip to Sun Peaks where our President, Armand Gutierrez, guided 23 people. He’s doing a repeat performance on planning at trip to Jackson Hole for the 2015 week trip. If you never been on a week long trip, it’s good to save up your vacation days and take advantage of it. There’s plenty of people to ski with and a good way to know your fellow members.
What does the future holds for us? Do I plan 1 or 2 trips for next year? Well I guess its all depends on the snowfall and how many of you are can go on both trips.
There’s still a few more weeks before the resorts close. So let me know if anyone wants to go to Tahoe for the weekend.
