PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE By Mike Jones
Baltimore Ski Club Executive Council Meetings
Executive Council Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month starting at 6:30pm. Business meetings are open to all members.
Meetings are held at: PSA Insurance & Financial Services Building 11311 McCormick Road, 5th Floor Hunt Valley, MD
Wow….. What a Ski Season! I hope all of my fellow club members enjoyed it as much as I did. I want to thank you, our members, for supporting your club. I especially want to thank our Trips Director-Dave Karczmarek, Euro-Western chair-Eileen Karczmarek, Euro-Western treasurer-Beth Muscedere, Eastern chair-John Landon, Eastern treasurer-Bob Sanford, and the rest of the trips committee for putting together such an outstanding schedule. They are already hard at work preparing an equaling excellent schedule for the 2017 season. I know you all are eagerly anticipating its release in the June newsletter. I’d also like to thank our volunteer trip leaders and assistants. Without them none of this would be possible.
While I’m thanking people let’s all give a big hand to LuAnn Snyder, Christopher Pukalski, Mary Rose Cook, Mark Chapman, Mark Jones, and everyone who works at putting together the meetings and programs.
Now that spring is here and summer just around the corner, we are actively putting together a list of off-season activities the highlights of which are the Ski Club Picnic on June 18th and the trip to Hungary & Austria. Music in the Woods is June 4th. I’m sure there will be some bike rides, a theater trip, and a crab feast. If you would like to organize an activity please call Christopher Pukalski to put it on the schedule. (boat rendezvous?, golf?, bowling?)
Our April shrimp feast was well attended and I thought that the shrimp were excellent and a bargain! Beginning Wednesday, May 11th our summer meetings will be at Glory Days Grill in Towson (see Schuss front page). It’s a new venue and not quite as far for some to travel so I hope to see some new faces and bring a few friends.
Remember that the BSC Picnic on June 18th is the first day on which deposits for all ski trips will be accepted. PLEASE have a completed and SIGNED trip sign-up sheet for each person you are signing up. These are available at www.Baltimoreskiclub.com and at the picnic.
An interpretation of BSC policy states that the leader must have both the deposit and the signed sign-up sheet before the person can be considered a participant on the trip. If you are putting a check in for someone who cannot make the picnic please make sure you have a SIGNED trip sign-up from them for each trip for which you are
making a deposit.
Looking forward to seeing you at Glory Days and other BSC events this summer. Mike

Well, that was challenging. After heavy snows in New England last winter, the law of averages took over this year. So as 27 intrepid skiers journeyed to Jay Peak, we knew conditions were not ideal. But as brave members of the BSC we pressed on regardless.
Following a smooth ride to the very edge of Canada, we settled into the Stateside Hotel and made plans over dinner at Howie's diner (stay far away from the chicken and waffles). Winds of 50 mph greeted us Monday morning and closed the tram and higher lifts but also gave us a few inches of snow. So we were hopeful for better days ahead. We were inducted into the “Jay Way” at a welcome reception Monday evening. Free drinks, grown men in Viking get-ups, chants to the snow gods, musical chairs and merriment for all. What's not to like?
On Tuesday night we enjoyed a club sponsored BBQ dinner which included the well known New England ski resort soup-gazpacho (it was good!). Rising temperatures and threat of rain hounded the group for the next three days but the precipitation held off during the day and the snow was soft. Fog was prevalent Monday afternoon and Thursday. But as a matter of pride we skied right through these hardships. (Well a few did anyway). Some participants enjoyed the waterpark option, getting in touch with their inner child. Others of us are already too well acquainted by some reports. A large group also went to a brewery tour Thursday evening, making a quick detour to the hospital for an X-ray from a waterpark accident (result negative). Who knew that a waterpark could be more risky than a double black ski trail.
As we departed Friday afternoon the Jay website reported closing a "handful" of trails- over 40 in fact. With forecasts for rain and warm temps in store for Vermont, I think we were lucky to have gotten in some decent skiing during the week we were there. Submitted by, Jim Tabeling Assistant to the trip leader.

BSC’s trip to Steamboat was treated to snowy slopes and mostly blue skies. Our group of 36 skiers included members from Ohio, Florida and Georgia indicating how popular and how extensive our club has become.
While not ski-out/ski-in, The Lodge at Steamboat gave us ready access to the wonderful Steamboat shuttle service. Going somewhere? A simple phone call produced a shuttle within minutes to take you to your destination and back. To make sure we were well taken care of the staff at the Lodge bent over backwards. Their valet service took our bags from the bus to our rooms and back to the bus on departure day. Our wine and cheese welcome and pizza party made sure no one went to bed hungry that night. Name tags were given out with green, blue or black markings to indicate the skiers’ trail preference. Everyone was encouraged to connect with others of the same ability and to not ski alone.
A short walk from the shuttle took you to the Gondola which whisked you up the mountain away from the crowds and gave you access to all the area had to offer. A number of our skiers took advantage of the daily ambassadors for guided tours through the vast expanses of Steamboat.
Our trip included group dinners at The Three Peak’s and Ore house - outstanding mountain restaurants.
One of the highlights of our trip was the Tuesday race day with Billy Kidd. Billy was the first American man to win an Olympic medal in skiing. In addition, he was the first person to win both Amateur and Professional ski championships in the same year. He is an outstanding representative for both Steamboat and the
ski industry. Billy came to the top of our NASTAR course on race day and gave tips on racing gates as well as encouragement to our 21 racers.
The tips must have paid off, as at that evenings’ dinner, Billy had the pleasure of awarding medals to: Mike Pangia (gold), John Barlow (gold) Chris Jones (gold), Kris Nicholson (gold), James Grasmick (silver), Mark Jones (silver), Barbara Hill (silver), Maxine Cohen (silver), Bob Kotova (silver), Jeff McBride (silver), Robert Sanford (silver), Linda Smith (silver), Gary Smith (silver) Melvin Fox (bronze), Brian Greenlee (bronze), Sheldon Hyman (bronze), Mark Keenan (bronze), Steve Kline (bronze) and Joe Mihalovic (bronze). Mr. Kidd also gave a wonderful talk and allowed us to see some of his Olympic medals. Thank you Billy!
Sadly, we did have one injury as Lorraine Elkerton was cut off by an errant skier or snowboarder and fell and fractured her pelvis. After a brief trip to the local hospital, Lorraine toughed it out and stayed with the group for the rest of the trip. Her roommates and others helped her get around and we all wish Lorraine a speedy recovery.
Steamboat proved to be an outstanding ski area and the club looks forward to going there again. Sheldon Hyman
Steamboat, Colorado Feb. 27 –March 5, 2016

EXCERPTS FROM THE NATIONAL SKI CLUB NEWSLETTER, JAN-FEB 2016
The Ski Association of Hawaii Says That Skiiing Mauna Kea Volcano is Now Too Dangerous
From The Ski Association of Hawaiiʼs Website
Enclosed is our brief response to a television videographer who requested ski club assistance in filming extreme skiing and snowboarding on the Big Island volcano: Skiing or snowboarding on the top of the volcano is a very "iffy" situation. For example, there was a brief dusting of snow on the mountain top this week, but access to it was restricted due to high winds. So even with snow, no one could ski/snowboard there. Add 13,000 foot altitude with limited oxygen and there aren’t many (if any) extreme skiers who take the plunge. Plus the snow cover is rather small so in previous years those who skied fast went quickly from snow cover to lava rock and some ended up being medi-vaced to a hospital with massive injuries! Another problem is that it is impossible to schedule a shoot of skiing on the volcano. We've tried to schedule a shoot for years with a New York Times reporter. When the snow falls (generally in late January through February) enough to accumulate a base and the government controlled road is open, then it's a matter of “let's catch a flight to Hilo now.” There are no lifts or runs, so skiers also need to hire a four-wheel drive vehicle with driver who will drive skiers to the top of the mountain, then pick them up at the bottom of the run, return to the top, etc. A full day of skiing the volcano can be two to three runs! Skiers need to provide their own equipment for skiing over the lava rocks since a day of skiing the volcano will destroy a pair of skis! Therefore, due to overwhelming safety issues, the Hawaii Ski Club no longer offers group ski trips to the Big Island volcano nor will it endorse or recommend travel agencies who do so.
Ski Club of Great Britain Suggests How to Protect Your Skis and Snowboard One in eight people have had their ski or snowboard equipment stolen according to the Ski Club of Great Britain. Its research also revealed that 70 percent of all UK skiers own their own skis or snowboard, with an average value of $750 to $1,250 but, 61 percent make no attempt to mark or identify their kit and over a quarter take no security precautions when they leave their skis or boards unattended at lunch time or during après-ski and that only one in 20 use secure lockers to store their equipment. The ski club recommends several things to help prevent ski theft: * Mark your equipment with your details: initials, driver's license number, or other identifier to help police confirm you as the owner - consider using a UV or infrared pen, which will keep markings invisible to thieves. * Keep a record of any serial number on skis and snowboards so that items can easily be reported to the police and returned if they are found. * Where possible, use secure equipment storage lockers in hotels and other accommodations or use a ski lock with a chain around the ski rack. * Take a note of where you left your equipment and place any ski poles over your skis to prevent any accidental mix-up with other skiers and to make it harder for poles to be stolen. * If you rent your equipment, note the serial number on skis or the number of the ski rental shop bar code sticker. * When you mix up skis with a partner, make sure the pairs are separated and not placed next to each other.
New Yorkʼs Hunter Mountain Purchased by Peak Resorts Itʼs the Companyʼs 14th U.S. Ski Resort
By Bob Wilbanks, NSCN
Peak Resorts, Inc., has agreed to purchase Hunter Mountain, for cash consideration of $35 million plus the assumption of two capital leases estimated at approximately $1.8 million. Hunter Mountain generates approximately $27 million in annual revenue. Tim Boyd, CEO of Peak Resorts stated that, “Peak Resorts is set to become the preeminent ski operator in the metro New York-area with the addition of Hunter Mountain to our portfolio of resorts in New Hampshire, Vermont, and

Pennsylvania. For this 2015-2016 ski season, we are planning to offer reciprocal programs among the resorts for the season passholders at Hunter Mountain and our current properties. Program details will be posted on the websites for each of the resorts in the coming weeks.” Hunter Mountain Ski Resort was founded by brothers Orville and Israel Slutzky in the 1950s and became known for its celebrity clientele and proximity to New York City. Three children of Orville Slutzky, who died in 2013, now operate the business. The resort boasts three separate mountains, several terrain parks, and a tubing park. The ski resort has a base elevation of 1,600 feet and a summit elevation of 3,200 feet with a vertical drop of 1,600 feet in 240 skiable acres with 58 trails, all serviced by 12 lifts. Hunter Mountain is located just over two hours by car or bus from New York City and four hours by car or bus from Philadelphia. Peak Resorts Inc., which is headquartered in Wildwood, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis, is the owner of 11 ski resorts and the operator of two additional ski resorts, including Attitash, Crotched Mountain, and Wildcat Mountain in New Hampshire; Jack Frost and Big Boulder in Pennsylvania; Mount Snow in Vermont; Alpine Valley, Boston Mills, Brandywine, and Mad River Mountain in Ohio; Hidden Valley Ski Area, and Snow Creek in Missouri, Paoli Peaks in Indiana; and now, Hunter Mountain in New York. The majority of the ski resorts run by Peak Resorts are located within 100 miles of major metropolitan markets, including New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Kansas City, and St. Louis.

What Else is Happening In North Americaʼs Ski Industry? By Bob Wilbanks, NSCN, and Patrick Thorne, AKA The Snow Hunter
Vail-based East West Partners and Denver's KSL Capital Partners, the owner of California's Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows ski area, are partnering to purchase and complete the planned development of the base village at Snowmass. In Jackson Hole, Wyoming, The Teton Express opens this season, dropping expert skiers about 100 feet from the entrance to Granite Canyon, a backcountry stash of cliffs and cornices previously accessible only after a 25-minute hike. Utah’s Solitude Mountain Resort, now owned by Deer Valley, has upgraded the Summit chair to an express quad, creating a faster route to the expert terrain of Honeycomb Canyon. Vail Resort has swapped out the frontside Avanti Express, which was a quad, with a high-speed six-pack with a loading conveyor belt in the hopes of dispersing skiers more quickly from the Lionshead. Purgatory, in Colorado, has a new high-speed quad chairlift and three new runs just west of the new lift. East West and KSL have worked together since 2011 and will take over as master developer. Aspen Skiing will continue to develop a planned Limelight Hotel on a village lot that was not part of the purchase. SAM Magazine reports that Idaho’s Brundage Mountain Resort is offering free lift tickets for its beginner chairlift and beginner ski area, which includes a groomed forest trail to give newcomers a feel for tree skiing this season in hopes of attracting new skiers of all ages. Beginning skiers can pick up their free lift ticket at the ticket office. Brundage also offers free all-mountain lift tickets to kids ages six and under. The Las Vegas Ski & Snowboard Resort is changing its name to Lee Canyon -- the area’s original name back in 1963. Lee Canyon, as a name, reflects more of what the resort stands for -- an unpretentious year-round family outdoor recreation area. This season, skiers will see rebranding to the new name including resort signs, uniforms, brochures, trail maps, and in social media. Montana’s Big Sky Resort will open three new terrain parks this winter. The Cache, an advanced new natural style park replaces the traditional Freestyle Forest in the Moonlight area. The other two new parks are an advanced park, Peacemaker, and intermediate park, Maverick. Big Sky will also open three new runs this season. Stratton, Vermont is adding $8.5 million in upgrades to its base lodge. The now-23,000 square-foot facility houses an upscale cafeteria-style restaurant that will serve up to 400 guests within its two-story design. Called the Summit, it is the highest year-round, lift-served guest facility in North America. The second level of
(Continued on page 10)

The Summit and adjacent outdoor decks are available for private functions, group meetings, etc. Sugarbush, Vermont, has upgraded their Valley House double chair to a quad with a loading conveyor belt which will double the Vallely House lift’s uphill capacity. Snowbird Utah’s, The Summit at Snowbird Restaurant is now open at the top of Hidden Peak, greeting tram riders with a two-story glass structure that features a 190-seat cafeteria, a coffee shop, and a large deck with panoramic views. The NAtional STAndard Race (NASTAR) National Championships will return to Steamboat Springs March 24-27, 2016, in the first of a two-year planned program. Steamboat was the host site for the 2006 through 2009 NASTAR championships. Whistler Blackcomb will celebrate its 50th anniversary this season.

Most U.S. Western Resorts Rush to Ban Camera Drones
As Their Popularity Rises But a Few Resorts Plan to Offer Commercial
Drone Photo Service By Bob Wilbanks, NSCN
As the use of recreational drones to film videos is increasing in popularity, ski resorts and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) are working to determine how to deal with this emerging new technology on the slopes. Fearing impacts with
other skiers, lifts, etc, the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA) has drafted its own set of rules banning the flying of personal and commercial aerial drones above ski areas. Most ski resort operators fear that without taking preemptive action, aerial video drones could quickly become as ubiquitous on the slopes as GoPro cameras are today. Violation of the NSAA rules could result in drone confiscation and/or loss of skiing privileges, and in some areas potentially result in fines as well. Perhaps ironically, the NSAA is urging the FAA to allow resorts to fly their own commercial drones to assist in lift inspections, search and rescue operations, and avalanche mitigation. Some ski resorts have already issued drone bans and policies. Among them is Crested Butte Mountain Resort, which has already published its drone policy: “Out of safety concerns for guests, employees, and resort property, Crested Butte Mountain Resort prohibits the operation of unmanned aerial systems, or aerial drones, by the general public, including recreational users and hobbyists, without prior written authorization from the resort. Commercial videographers who wish to film on U.S. Forest Service land already have to obtain a permit and pay a fee to the Forest Service prior to filming. While the list of resorts saying no to photo drones is long, Utah’s Eagle Point is the only resort in the western United States to publicly embrace unmanned privately owned drones; however, at press time their management was said to be reconsidering their drone use policy. Meanwhile, according to Gear Junkie email newsletter, several resorts are partnering with Cape Productions to offer autonomous drone technology that follows skiers without the need for an operator -- meaning that Cape’s drones automatically fly with you, filming from above as you ski. Gear Junkie listed Winter Park and Copper Mountain, Colorado; Timberline Lodge and Mount Hood Meadows, Oregon; Powder Mountain, Utah; Homewood Mountain, Calif., Mountain Creek, New York; Schweitzer Mountain, Idaho and Fernie Alpine Resort, British Columbia as resorts that will offer the service this seeason. Customers sign up, meet the Cape representative on the mountain, and get filmed by the drones while skiing, then they receive a professionally edited video online. While drone use is banned at most major ski resorts, Cape said that they have worked with both government and resort officials to permit this service.
