What could be more romantic? Maybe spending a week in Vermont or Idaho. For those of you who are going to Mount Snow with me, I have a new picture of Dragon Lake from the North Face of the mountain. I remember one evening a few years ago, Janice and I snowmobiled across it with a group from the club. I’m told they had 36 inches of snow in the third week of January and the snow making machines are working every day. While I am writing this I still have openings for one male and one female on the Mount Snow trip, so if you’re interested give me a call. If you are a couple, I might still be able include you if a room is still available. The PSC started targeted on-line advertising in January in the hopes of bringing in new members and trip goers. Don’t forget you can hook up with the club on Meetup and Facebook where you can get information on other local activities and post pictures you want to share. Take a look at the rest of the newsletter for upcoming club activities including some learn to ski trips planned as part of our membership building efforts. I am glad to announce that Penny Oots and Suzie Scott have agreed to serve on the audit committee, but I have not heard from anyone about the search committee for board candidates (five nominees needed for the board). This is your club and it needs you. Please let me know if you can participate. See you on the slopes, / Rick Irby, President of PSC Skiing Together Since 1966 FEBRUARY 2015 Ski News, Page 1 PeninsulaSkiClub.com SNOW VALENTINES HIS MISTRESS My heart sank. I felt a feeling I found hard to identify. It was strange. It was a mixture that formed into a ball and clouded my mind. It pierced my heart. It stuck in my throat. It caused my eyes to tear. It wasn’t anger, yet I felt abandoned. That was it! A mixture of hurt, of being left out. The ball was jealousy. I was jealous. I saw the excitement in his eyes. He couldn’t contain himself. He became a different person in her presence. A child like joy, that adults just don’t experience often, exuded from his every pore. And then, and then I saw her. She was breathtaking. Her elegant white gown glistened in the light. Her hair shimmered like a clear mountain stream flowing over the rocks below. Her arms were outstretched. Her spirit was encompassing, affecting everyone in this small room. How could I compete with such a presence? I didn’t know what to do. I struggled with this rush of feelings. I must get a grip. I must remain in control. But how? Just then my husband took my hand. “Let’s go, Honey.” he whispered in my ear and we stepped from the gondola onto her snow covered gown. By Peggy Newcomb A LABOR OF LOVE Long ago at ski resort not so far away, a love-sick PSC-er entreated Agnes Evans to be at the top of a certain lift at a certain hour to immortalize (photograph) his proposal of marriage to his girlfriend. Of course it was ridiculously cold for standing around and for camera shutters to function at requested speed (this being the time before digital cameras.) There was bended knee…..there were squeals of surprise and delight…and there was the much anticipated “yes”. They were married and moved into a foreclosed upon fixer upper, and never heard from again. This is the modern interpretation of “they lived happily ever after.” Agnes’ feet thawed out in due time. Although her inclination to photograph on demand has dwindled (and the names elude her), Agnes’s recollection of this special event has not. And a certain PSC couple got married on a ski trip!!!!!!

It’s such a great place for our club with plenty of places for groups with varying experience levels to ski together and all have fun. Plus it has unique features like “the Enchanted Forest” and “the beach” at Gorrono Ranch (see Tom Crockett’s trip report). We’ve added trips that are unusual for the PSC; here’s hoping they will attract the next generations. We’ll keep you posted. Maybe you can bring your kids and/or grandkids. Please, pass on the word that first-timers on a new trip receive FREE MEMBERSHIP in the Peninsula Ski Club for the rest of our club year. The skiing industry is changing with large corporations or investor groups buying resorts, connecting resorts, and building or improving lifts, lodging and other amenities. For example, Vail Resorts has purchased both Park City Mountain and Canyons; they’ll be connected into one resort by next season and become the largest ski resort in North America. There’s a movement, with some opposition, to connect Deer Valley, Park City/Canyons, Alta & Snowbird (already connected to each other), Brighton, and Solitude into one Europeanstyle mega-resort. In many places, that lost-in-the-wilderness ambience will diminish, but the conveniences and creature comforts will noticeably improve. Even our dear old Mt. Snow has the “bubble” many of us enjoyed last season and Okemo, VT has added one this season. As always, it’s still my goal to ski with as many members as I can, so look for me. I’ve now skied at one time or another with all but one member that was on the Telluride trip. Thanks for the memories!

Skiing Together Since 1966 FEBRUARY 2015 Ski News, Page 5 PeninsulaSkiClub.com TRIP REPORT - TELLURIDE COLORADO Report & Photos by Tom Crockett Location: Telluride is an historic mining town which has morphed into a decidedly upscale resort village, tucked away in a remote area of the San Juan Mountains in southwestern Colorado. Telluride proper occupies a narrow valley floor with high mountain ranges to the north and south. The Telluride Ski Resort occupies the mountain range to the south. We stayed in Mountain Village, a separate, incorporated, even more upscale town located on the mountainside within the ski resort, roughly 1,000 vertical feet above Telluride. A gondola system provides free public transportation between Telluride and Mountain Village, and also within Mountain Village. The scenery around Telluride is spectacular, featuring some of the most impressive snowcovered mountains this side of the Alps. The views become even more spectacular as you ride the lifts higher up the mountains and start exploring the ski runs. Travel: We had trouble-free (but pretty full) flights on Delta from Norfolk to Montrose, CO by way of Atlanta. A relatively early departure from Norfolk put us in Montrose around noon local time. Our shuttle bus stopped for groceries and liquor on the way out of town, which made for a jolly ride the rest of the way to Telluride. The City Market was one of the best grocery stores we've been to anywhere, and the liquor store next door was also well stocked with a large selection of beer, wine, and spirits. It takes about an hour-and-ahalf to get from Montrose to Telluride, but nobody was bored either coming or going thanks to the aforementioned spectacular scenery along the way. The ranchlands and mesas around Montrose gradually give way to larger hills and then high mountains as you approach Telluride. For the return trip, we had a fairly comfortable departure time of 9:00 a.m. from Mountain Village, leaving Montrose shortly before 1:00 p.m., but we paid for it on the other end with a four-hour layover in Atlanta and an arrival back in Norfolk around 11:30 p.m. A number of the club members helped pass the time with a leisurely dinner at T.G.I. Friday's in the Atlanta airport. Accommodations: Sonny had us set up in two-bedroom (or one bedroom loft) condos at the Mountain Lodge in Mountain Village. The condos, though small, were well-kept with nice kitchens and daily housekeeping service. Although our units were not quite ski-in ski-out, the complex was bounded on both sides by green trails which could be reached via short, although hilly and slippery, walkways. The location made it fairly convenient to duck in to the condos for lunch or to take a break. Both trails converged on two side-by-side lifts which provided access to opposite sides of the ski area. The Lodge was also convenient to one of the gondola stations (about a five minute walk on another slippery, hilly walkway), or you could opt for the Lodge's on-call shuttle service, which would take you pretty much wherever you wanted to go within Mountain Village. The Lodge's outdoor hot tub and heated pool were quite popular as an aprés ski destination for those with tired muscles and aching joints. Altitude: Telluride is high: the town is at 8,750 ft., our accommodations at Mountain Lodge were around 9,640 ft., and the lifts go as high as 12,570 ft. The highest peak in the ski area, accessible only by a strenuous climb, is at 13,320 ft. Despite the elevation, none of the club members had any serious problems with altitude sickness. Many of the members had obtained prescriptions for prophylactic regimens of acetazolamide, and that seemed to help. There were complaints of headaches (mostly just the first night), fatigue, sleep disruption due to periodic breathing, and shortness of breath when you tried to do anything that involved going uphill rather than downhill. The altitude didn't seem to have much impact on people's skiing ability, other than an occasional rest stop on the longer runs and perhaps a little more tiredness. Skiing: The Telluride Ski Resort occupies a vast expanse of mountainside, with several summits and Skiing Together Since 1966 FEBRUARY 2015 Ski News, Page 6 PeninsulaSkiClub.com plenty of superb terrain for all skiing abilities, ranging from gentle meadows for first-time skiers to extreme above-treeline chutes and bowls for true backcountry experts. The sheer size of the place was intimidating at first, but after a couple of days of exploring on the lifts and studying the trail maps, you could find your way around pretty well. The resort also offers a daily mountain tour which lasts for about two-and-a-half hours. Though the tour stuck entirely to green and blue trails, several of our members who participated described it as challenging, and noted that many people bailed out along the way. Telluride does an excellent job of grooming their trails, though they leave plenty of intact mogul fields and untouched backcountry terrain for those who enjoy such things. Not every run is groomed every day, but the resort web site is updated every morning with a list of freshly-groomed trails, and signs at the tops of the lifts also indicate which runs have been groomed that day. Many of the runs are big and wide, allowing for easy cruising even on the steeps, but if you want narrower and tighter runs, you can find those, too, along with glades, bowls, bumps, chutes, and just about anything else you can imagine. Highlights include: - - - - Galloping Goose: a 4.6 mile green run with a half-mile vertical drop, starting at 11,815 ft. Although nearly flat in spots, it runs through a variety of terrain and has great views of Mount Wilson, the iconic peak featured on Coors beer labels. The Enchanted Forest: an accessible glade with a network of groomed trails running through. Prospect Bowl: a forested bowl with open glades, a couple of nice green runs, and some challenging blues with steep headwalls. See Forever: an above-treeline blue that starts at 12,225 ft. and follows the ridgeline for a couple of miles before dumping you out near the gondola station on a network of trails above the Mountain Village town center. The trail is aptly named; the 360-degree view is absolutely stunning, and even though the trail itself is pretty easy, it's a little scary at first due to the sheer drop on either side. Revelation Bowl: a large open bowl on the back (south) side of the mountain with challenging black runs and a lift that takes you to the ridgeline at 12,570 ft. If you go down the front (north) side, you can choose from an array of double black runs, extreme mogul fields, and expert-only chutes. Polar Queen Express: located in the center of the ski area, this lift serves a hill comprised solely of blue and double-blue runs, including several mogul fields. Plunge Lift: high on the steep mountain face above Telluride, this lift services a number of double-blue, black, and doubleblack runs, some of which descend all the way into town. -Lift lines: What lift lines? Between the remoteness of the area and the vastness of the terrain, we rarely had to wait more than a couple of chairs to get right back on the lifts. The slopes were generally uncrowded, even empty at times, though some runs got busier in the middle of the day. In order to get folks off the mountain by closing time (4:00 p.m.), the lifts operated on a staggered schedule, with closing times ranging from 3:15 to 4:00. As public transportation, the gondolas ran from 7:00 a.m. until midnight, making it easy to get around if you wanted to go into town for dinner, shopping, or entertainment. Weather: The weather was great. The week started with snow showers followed by several inches of fresh powder before giving way to three consecutive days of crystal clear skies and brilliant sunshine. Temperatures ranged from the teens at night to daytime highs in the upper 20's early in the week and then low 30's to around 40 late in the week. Very comfortable for this time of year -- temperatures could have easily been 10 degrees colder, or more. Meals: Sonny arranged us three group dinners for, along with a welcome reception at the Lodge on the first night. The highlight was the Wednesday night dinner at the historic New Sheridan hotel in Telluride, served in a private dining room with a custom menu featuring steak, salmon, or chicken (all superb) and a painstakingly crafted chocolate mousse dessert. Thursday night featured a potluck when many of us converged in one of the condo units with our leftover groceries and wine to celebrate the great week we were having. For those who preferred to do less cooking, the ski area was littered with restaurants (accessible only from the lifts, so basically for just mid-day meals), the Lodge offered a restaurant/bar with good food, and there were many restaurants and bars to choose from in Telluride and at the Mountain Village town center. All in all, quite a wonderful ski week. / Tom Crockett (photos and story) See more photos of this trip (by Tom Crockett, Mahyar Malekpour and others) on Face Book – Peninsula Ski Club of Virginia.
