PRIMETIME’S MOVING FAST
The beginning of 2012 was the first ski week for many Primetime Ski Club members. Some came up soon after the holiday, others strolled in later in the week, but by week’s end we saw 25 or so of the 120 already meeting at 10am.
Sunday River’s man-made surface held up well most of the week, but everyone was happy to see big fluffy flakes falling Friday morning. The mountain picked up a just couple inches and most everyone found the surface outstanding. Additionally, everybody’s excitement level goes up a notch or two when snow is falling. A lot of people are hoping mother nature decides late January is right for a foot or two of white powder (sorry non-skiers).
The activity level moved into gear this week with Primetimers assembling daily ski groups in earnest. It’s still early in the season so we’re just getting started with the social fun. We had our first ad hoc party Saturday night and the Welcome Back Potluck is tonight, 1/12 (members only). The Matterhorn special event next week is already more than half full and we’ve just finalized most of the GO-50 week (Jan. 23-27) details. Busy time.
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.
