PRIMETIME SKI CLUB NEWS

The snow is covering the mountain well after a couple of half-foot storms.  Seems like not enough yet, but you know the saying about beggars not being choosers, so we’ll take what we can get.  Skiing is wonderful both on the groomers and also the several newly opened ungroomed trails.  SR’s nearing the century mark in open trails as of this writing.  IT’S GRRRREAT!!

Primetime’s activities were busy this week, being the mountain’s GO-50 week tailored toward those 50+ (that’s US!).  This special week provided several opportunities for members to reacquaint and meet others like ourselves at a GO-50 cocktail party, a lecture on the history of ME skiing, several events, and even a couple house parties.  Several even got involved in a mountain set up 50+ GS “race”

Next week many will focus on skiing solely as a few members head west to Aspen/Snowmass leaving the remainder of us here to ski this wonderful terrain all by ourselves.  If the weather’s good I expect large turnouts again this week at the 10am assemblies.  Everyone’s approaching mid-season form.

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.
