Prime Time Ski Cub News

The Prime Time Ski Club welcomed a some visiting guests who arrived for the season to ski on the sometimes cold and sometimes “breezy” slopes at Sunday River.  The visitors joined us at 10:00 AM this past week seeking a “ski buddy”, and came to us from Portland in the south and Sugarloaf to the north.  Members who were at the mountain this past week were rewarded with wonderfully groomed corduroy, short lift lines and open slopes with few skiers.  It was a wonderful week for polishing one’s skills or moving up a level in ski skills.

It looks like the coming week will require even more hardiness but no less enthusiastic spirit as the weather dives into the cold.  It will be a week to tuck in our hand and toe warmers, wear our balaclavas and consume more hot chocolate than usual.

Members enjoyed a wonderful night out at the Sunday River Brewing Co. last week.  There was unanimous agreement that the food, spirits and music were wonderful as was the camaraderie of old and new friends getting together in front of a fire after a somewhat cold and windy day of skiing.  It was the Club’s first “night out” of the season and a grand one at that.  The Sunday River Brewing Co. will surely get a revisit from Prime Timers who, to a person, enjoyed themselves.

See what we’re about at www.primetimeskiclub.com . The Primetime Ski Club is an independent ski and social club welcoming anyone 50 and over. They meet weekdays at 10 AM at Sunday River’s North Peak Lodge to form daily ski groups based on ability, terrain, and social aspects.
