Hello Nisei Ski Club! Thanks for selecting another Judy to be newsletter chair. I’ve got a tough act to follow after the awesome job Judy Hom has been doing for a very long time! I will do my best to keep you all informed with club happenings via the online news.
Skiing is one of my favorite pastimes and has been since I began to ski at age 8 in Utah. I always took it for granted that skiing was easy and accessible, living where it was a 40 minute drive to the top resorts of Deer Valley, Park City, Alta, Snowbird, Solitude or Brighton. Then when I spent four years at college in Colorado, it was more of the same. It wasn’t until I lived in Texas for a couple years that I realized how lucky I had been! I was overjoyed to be back in the West when we moved to California in 1991. Since then I’ve explored most of the Sierra resorts, settling in on Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows as favorites.
My three sons and I enjoy skiing together, but it’s not often our schedules coincide. Joining the ski club was a great way to find other adults that love to ski and stay active. The ski trips to Aspen and Vail were awesome and I hope to do many more.
Unfrozen water is my other love; I’ve been a part of a masters swim team for over 25 years. In 1999, I emerged from the pool to swimming in various bodies of water from the SF Bay to Lake Tahoe to the Aegean Sea.
Outside of skiing and swimming, I keep busy with various volunteer jobs, travel, family and friends, my pets, and my long distance boyfriend Mark. I originally had a career in Human Resources, but have also worked in housing economics, accounting, writing and swim coaching. Now I’m retired from those jobs, and my main task is to enjoy life!
