Dec 5-10th, 2011 United Ski Club's Annual Learn to Ski and Snowboard Better Week!

Re-Cap from Nancy & Mary...
Hello Everyone,
Hope you all had a fabulous holiday season...no doubt most of you were on Santa's 'NICE' list, and got lots of well-deserved goodies! Our first Ski Week of the 2011/2012 season went off without a hitch...the "Learn to Ski & Snowboard Better Week" was a smashing success! We had 45 members in attendance, and along with Delta's 25 members, it was a great group of Alpine Enthusiasts!
Because of Copper's unsurpassed snow-making abilities, we had really good snow conditions for our snow gods & goddesses. In fact, the U.S., Canadian & Swiss Ski Teams were in-training there (right before we arrived) for their World Cup Race which was held just west of Copper. And the weather was perfect as well, with those ever-famous Colorado bluebird skies....talk about a Rocky Mountain high!
Our Ski Club Dinner at the Imperial Palace Chinese Restaurant was a rousing success as well, where the previous season's awards were distributed to some expecting, and some very surprised unsuspecting recipients. But the highlight of that evening was definitely the Secret Santa gift swap...with the Spyder hat & gloves being the most popular items stolen. (Hmmmm...I wonder why?)
The Pub Crawl was (as always) a night to remember, as almost everyone took part in our 'Pajama Party' theme; we were certainly the highlight of the entire Resort! Kudo's to the CB Grille, who made a yummy custom drink for us called a 'Winter Wonderland', as well as the Storm King Lounge with their ever-popular Christmas Pomagranite Martini...they were enjoyed by all and helped to ease our sore muscles!
And our final night's Farewell Dinner at Incline Grill steakhouse was wonderful...such a cozy and classy place to end our hugely successful week! We hope you to see you all next year at this extremely popular week, which will take place December 3-8, 2012, so mark your calender's now!
Happy New Year to you all!
