Late Summer Newsletter

Hope you are enjoying your Summer! 

But the days are numbered and soon we will turn the corner and head into Fall. Which of course means it will soon be time for the annual PTSC Fall Weekend September 18–20, 2026.

We have some events planned for Friday and Saturday and of course the membership meeting is scheduled for Sunday… Some people may arrive early – use this time to reconnect with your ski buddies and enjoy all there is in the area – informal hiking, biking, kayaking, ride the Chondola to North peak and more. We are always looking for input and volunteers so if you would like to volunteer to organize an event, please get in touch with a board member.
