October’s upon us. Halloween will be here soon. I, for one, have been baying at the moon for the last several days and I’ve noticed that my exfoliation cream has lost its efficacy and en plus, I’ve been going through a new razor every day as my facial hair is inexplicably becoming coarser. Owooooooo.
In this month’s issue, Steamboat Update, Club Picnic, October hike, president Armand’s message and membership report.

President’s Message
Armand Gutierrez
Get Ready! Ski season is just around the corner. And one of my proposals for this year is to initiate a “ski mentoring” program. The purpose of this proposal is to have some of our seasoned members provide on-the-slope advice to help you become a better skier. Need help in moguls? How about tackling a black diamond run for the first time? Or maybe you want to step up from the green runs to the blue runs. Whatever it may be, I’m sure there is an NSC member who can help you. However, before we can implement this program it’s necessary to determine how many people will actually sign up. If you’re interested then send me a note (president@niseiskiclub.org) and indicate your ski level and the area of interest.
The NSC picnic is on Saturday, October 13th, and the Evite invitations have been distributed to current and former members of NSC. As mentioned in the Evite and flyer, the best part of this picnic, aside from reconnecting with current & former members, is that there is no cost to you, as NSC will be providing the main entrees and soft drinks/water. However, feel free to bring a side dish or dessert to share. We will also have a short membership meeting to bring everyone up-to-date on club activities. Let’s hope Mother Nature cooperates and provide us with sunny skies and pleasant temps. Looking forward to seeing everyone on the 13th.
1. Membership Activity
Our current membership stands at 46 members. Normally we would have a few more signups due to the ski week trip to Steamboat but that seems to have abated. There are still rooms available for this great trip and hopefully more people will signup at the October picnic.
2. FWSA Innsbruck/Garmisch Ski Week
Innsbruck is the Tyrolean capital and hosted the Winter Olympics in 1964 and 1976. There are over 320 miles of trails easily accessible in 25 surrounding village resorts; and nine major ski areas that provide varied terrain for all levels of skiers.
If you’re interested in joining me on this ski week vacation, or just have questions about skiing in Europe, then drop me a line (membership@niseiskiclub.org).

The 2012-2013 snow season is predicted to be El Nino which is supposed to bring more snow.
Steamboat just got it’s first snowfall on Sept 26, 2012. Their opening day is Nov 21. We will be arriving on Jan 26, 2013.
Karen is also ordering the trip souvenirs from Marmot and various colors and styles are already starting to run out.
Second payment is due Oct 27, 2012 and I will probably release all the unused condos and plane seats before then.
If you want to go on this trip, you should sign up ASAP.
