April is here and that means two things: taxes and resort closings. Not much you can do about taxes, but if you’re thinking of skiing in April then think spring conditions: a little firm in the morning, getting better between 10am – 2pm, then soft and slushy and sticky. Here is a list of resort closings:
April 14 – Northstar
April 21 – Heavenly
April 28 – Kirkwood and Mt. Rose
May 27 – Palisades/Alpine (weather and conditions permitting.)
May 27 – Mammoth
The 2025 NSC Ski Week will be at Sun Peaks, BC from 25 January to 1 February. So mark your calendar and start planning on a ski week to Canada’s second largest resort with 4,700 skiable terrain acres. Also, check your passport’s expiration date. Sports America has posted the Epic/Ikon links for the 2024-2025 season and are offering a 6.5% trip rebate if you purchase the passes from Sports America and go on the Sun Peaks trip:

Board Nominations & Elections
Well, it’s that time again for holding our board nominations and elections for the 2024-2025 season, and an email for making your nominations for the board will soon find its way to your inbox. As you know, volunteers run this club, and without them this club would cease to exist, and it’s been in existence for over 65 years! You are encouraged to take this opportunity to nominate an individual for one, or more, of the board positions. We do have an opening for Membership Director as Tina Woo is retiring from that position. All individuals that accept the nomination(s) will go through an election process in May, and final results will be announced in the June Newsletter. Many of you have served on the board in the past, and your efforts were greatly appreciated and perhaps you would like to join the board again. For those that have never served then perhaps now is the time to consider a board position and provide new ideas and useful experience.
