WPSC – Judy Neyer
Council had a Zoom meeting.
Both council trips were successful. The Killington trip especially so. The Banff trip had three injuries, but all involved had taken out trip insurance.
The Killington trip will be repeated again next January.
The western trip will either be Whitefish, Montana or Fernie BC, Canada, usually late February or early March. Out west trip fills up fast. Both of these mountains are independent so no Ikon or Epic passes. Der Sitzmark has gone to Whitefish in the past.
WPSC’- trips should be posted on their website in June – wpaskicouncil.com. As a club council members, you are able to participate in these trips at no additional charge.
You can also join other clubs’ trips. Last year’s trips:
Erie – Marmot Basin, Canada. This tip was piggybacked into council’s trip to Banff. This has happened the last few years. Marmot and Banff – Ikon mountains
West Moreland – Crested Butte, CO – Epic pass
Mon Valley – Breckinridge – Epic pass
Pittsburgh Ski Club – Big Skye, Copper, Banff, Grindelwald, Switzerland – All Ikon pass
Pittsburgh Ski Club requires you to be a member to go on their trips. $25 – single; $15 for another adult in the same household
The other clubs may also require a membership fee.
Jim Kapp Scholarship was awarded to two people:
10 year old mogul skier Gunnar Respect
17 year old mogul skier Cate Langer
I have their request write ups available to anyone who would like to read them.
