September is here and the Sierra Nevada foothills already received a dusting of snow. Of course, it won’t last long but let’s hope it’s a sign of the times to come when winter sets in and Mother Nature brings us dumps of snow. Before the ski season starts there are still a number of non-ski events coming up:

  • 7 September, Saturday, Mahjong Event at Judy Hom’s House of Tiles
  • 11-19 October, Eastern Canada Trip with Jeanne Katsuro at the helm
  • 9 November, Saturday – Pickle ball Event with Tina Woo

2025 NSC Ski Week

The Sun Peaks ski trip is making another change, from a small “group” back to a normal-sized group now that there are 18 signups and room for a few more. There are condos available, but it will be necessary to put new signups on a waitlist until a condo can be filled with four people. So, if you’re sitting on the fence about going, then now is the time to submit your application. For those of you that have made a deposit then August 15th was the due date for the second payment. Go to the NSC website and download the Sun Peaks Flyer, fill it out, and send it in (don’t forget your check).

Sports America has posted the Epic/Ikon links for the 2024-2025 season and is offering a 6.5% trip rebate (based on pass price) if you purchase the passes from Sports America and go on the Sun Peaks trip:
