No Approved 2020-2021 Ski Trips...For Now |
The BOD disapproved trips proposed by the Ski Trips Committee on the grounds that it was too great a risk at this time. |
The Trip Planning Committee and BOD still hope to put together a Schuss Instructional trip, one to Terrace Inn, and one or more Out West.
|
|
They plan on revisiting the issue in August or September when we'll be closer to prospective travel dates. And, we'll be further along in the world's response to the Covid pandemic.

Leading Reviewer of Ski Areas |
To measure the seemingly immeasurable, we've ingested gobs of historical weather data, and every last measurable detail on 220 North American resorts. From there, we've developed our own metrics and an algorithm that calculates what we call the Pure Awesomeness Factor. When you ski, whether you're looking for a family-friendly spot, the best snow, or the best mix of expert terrain and conditions, you're looking for Awesome. ZRankings helps you find Awesome better than anybody else. They organize the material pretty nicely! Zrankings goes on even more about their product. |
