SUNDAY RIVER’S PRIMETIME SKI CLUB NEWS
Eighteen skiers recently returned home from an exciting week at Aspen/Snowmass, during Primetime’s annual western mountains trip. This winter’s limited snowfall effected there as well, but that didn’t stop club members from finding fresh powder on the groomers, in the woods and on the expert double black trails at 11,000+ feet. Everybody had a great time. If you didn’t go and feel you missed out, don’t dispair, we’ll be doing a similar trip again next year.
Those who stayed here had some pretty wonderful conditions as well. Whatever Sunday River has been doing, they’re doing an incredible job. I’m guessing someone at SR has found a magic potion for snowmaking and grooming which doesn’t require the natual stuff. Most groomed trails are incredible at 9am, really good at noon and still okay toward the end of the day. If you require glades, bumps, or ungroomed surfaces, you need to put in a good word with Mom Nature to help us out.
With the outstanding conditions, Primetime is seeing more and more old and new friends up at the 10am meetings. Nobody wants to stay long, just to check in and find ski-buddies for the day. We’re also experiencing a new member boom and find we are up over 125 members. If this keeps up we’ll register as a Super Pac!
Next week most Primetimer’s take the week off and allow what we hope are thousands of others to flock to the mountain and experience the great fun and wonderful skiing Sunday River provides.
The Primetime Ski Club is an independent ski and social club welcoming anyone 50 and over. They meet weekdays at 10am at Sunday River’s North Peak Lodge to form daily ski groups based on ability, terrain, and social aspects. Info at www.primetimeskiclub.com.
