Well, it’s that time of year again. This is the time of year when spring has officially begun and thoughts of skiing are giving way to golfing, mountain biking, hiking, and other activities. Of course, there is still snow up at Tahoe and spring skiing can be enjoyable. There’s nothing like cruisin’ down the slopes without all the bulky clothing, basking in the warm sunshine, and just enjoying what Mother Nature provides. Can you tell? My season isn’t over just yet.
It’s also time for our time-honored traditional democratic process to take place. That’s right. It’s time for NSC Board nominations and elections. This month you will receive notice to provide nominations for the Board. If there’s anybody you feel would be a good representative as a Board member then by all means, nominate that person. After nominations are received in April , the Board will confirm that those nominees will accept the nominations and be placed on the election ballot for May. Then, you will have the opportunity to vote on all the nominees, and the lucky winners will be announced at the June NSC Picnic. Volunteers are also greatly appreciated.
Did I say NSC Picnic? That’s right, folks. Mark your calendar for June 22nd for our Post-Season Picnic event. This will be a potluck lunch where you provide your favorite dish and the Board will provide the beverages (beer, soda, water). We’ll also say goodbye to the old Board members and welcome the new Board members (that is, if there are any changes). The picnic will once again be at Las Palmas Park in Sunnyvale – details to come…
On the heels of Morgan’s most excellent ski week trip to Steamboat, it will be difficult to arrange (as ex officio) next year’s ski trip with the champagne powder that you experienced (I’m still jealous). However, if you remember the snow ghosts of Big White and the excellent snow conditions, then get your passports in order for next year’s ski week at Sun Peaks Resort, BC. In their words: “If you haven’t been here, You Have No Idea What You’re Missing”.
