We received a thank you letter from the Western PA Ski Council for a $100 donation in support of the WPSC Jim Kapp Scholarship Award. Jim Kapp was a dedicated snow sport instructor and very passionate and active in snow sports. Jim was instrumental in restarting WPSC in 1990 and was committed to its growth of now 16 ski clubs. Der Sitzmark Ski Club also received a thanks note from the family of Jim Kapp.
As of now we have 153 paid members – reported by Patricia Adams.
The sale of Seven Springs, Hidden Valley, Laurel Mountain by the Nutting family was finalized December 31, 2021 to Vail Resorts for $118 million. This past off-season, the resort upgraded its capacity adding a new Doppelmayr Alpen Star chairlift that replaces the resort’s former Avalanche lift. The new lift is able to carry an additional 600 people per hour. A recent skier observed that the new chairlift did not operate any faster, but it has a safety bar.
Winter operations at each resort will continue as usual thru the 2021-22 season.
