Primetime Ski Club News

All the snow dances are having an effect.  Primetime’s first social event of 2012 last Thursday was met with 6-8 inches of the desired white fluffy powder graciously held firm with a little wet stuff on top so that even 30mph winds couldn’t move it off the trails.  Many thanks to all of you doing snow dances.

Primetimers reported great groomed skiing at Sunday River thru Wednesday and the next several days were met with varying degrees of groomed, ungroomed and even a few glade trails.  The mountain went from 55 to 72 trails in just a few days and the cold weather (sometimes too cold) looks promising  for keeping the snow long term.

Weekday meet and greets at North Peak lodge  have been well attended with about half of our full membership making appearances thusfar.  We’ve had several individual dinner parties and our “Welcome Back” Potluck last week brought out most during the first big storm of the year. .  This week brings an exclusive Primetime members only event cosponsored by the Matterhorn and next is a full week of playing with others our own age as GO-50 week is here.

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.
