WELCOME TO HUNTSVILLE SKI CLUB THE FLAKEY! We've started off the New Year with 3 great trips already; Mammoth, Lake Tahoe, and Salt Lake City. The pictures that have been posted show beautiful snow and blue skies.
I know that Taos, Telluride, Whitefish, and Banff skiers are looking forward to their trips. CANCELED JANUARY MEETING: We canceled the January meeting due to weather conditions. Even though most skiers know how to drive on snowy and icy roads, the rest of the population doesn't. We will meet on the regularly scheduled day, February 21. CRESCENT SKI COUNTIL SPRING MEETING: The CSC Spring Meeting will be held April 27-29, 2018 in Myrtle Beach, SC. The Club has already reserved two 2 bedroom condos (4 people). One is reserved for 4 nights ($276), and the other for 3 nights ($220 each). It is a great way to meet other skiers from the Southeast, and to meet some of the vendors. When these two condos fill up, we will reserve more. Bob Breeden will coordinate this trip. Registration includes a Welcome Reception (Thurs), Vendor Show and DJ party on Friday Night, and Saturday Night Theme Party (we tied for 1st for table decorations last year!). ALL HSC MEMBERS are invited to attend this event. Get your group together now, and let Bob Breeden know as soon as possible. WHAT’S HAPPENING NEXT? According to our calendar, a Nominating Committee will work on a Slate of Officers to be presented at the March meeting. If you are interested in working on the Nominating Committee or serving as an Officer, please contact me. CALLING ALL INTERESTED TRIP LEADERS: If you are inter-ested in leading a trip for the 2018-2019 (can you believe it?) year, now is the time to talk to one of the current trip
leaders and start researching opportunities. Many of the resorts allow to book at this year's rate for next year if submitted by a deadline. BIRTHDAY CLUB! We want to wish our members who have a birthday this month, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We are so glad you are a member, and wish you a great day of celebration with family and friends. FYI: Someone asked recently about our Board meetings. The Board meetings are open to any member to attend. We meet at 6 pm in the adjacent room to the meeting room, and try to conclude by 7. We shut the door only to reduce the noise factor of arriving members. If anyone has a question about the business conducted during the Board Meeting, I will be glad to answer it. BE SURE TO READ ALL THE NEWS IN THE FLAKEY TO KEEP UP WITH WHAT WE ARE DOING! YOU ARE WELCOME TO BE OUR GUEST! We meet each month on the third Wednesday at Huntsville Area Association of Realtors (HAAR) on the corner of Holmes Ave and Monroe St. at 7:00 – 8:30 pm. Have a wonderful HSC day, Jodi Stephens - HSC President 256.651.1433

2018 Ski Trips
The ski season is off to a good start!!! Our members have already been on trips to Steamboat, Mammoth, South Lake Tahoe, and Salt Lake City. These have all been great trips. I am sorry for those of you that were not able to make any of these trips. In February, the Club will have a trip to Taos! While this trip is full, it is not too late to sign-up for our two March trips to Banff and Whitefish. See the flyer below and contact the trip leader if you have questions. Also, March 10-17 is Spring Break week for both U of AL and Auburn. If you know anyone who is student or faculty of either and may be interested in skiing, please tell them we have openings for the trip to Banff/Lake Louise Ski Trip that week and to con-tact Bob Breeden (931-967-5372) if interested.
Gene Hartsfield - 256-497-0474 & Bob Breeden - 931-967-5372
We still need trip leaders for the 2019 ski year. The club needs your help in planning and running a trip next season. This can be a fun and rewarding opportunity. If you are in-terested in running a trip in 2019, please contact Bob or Gene. We will start the planning process in March. CSC will be running a trip in 2019 to Crested Butte, CO, in January in ad-dition to the annual December trip to Steamboat. It’s not too early to start thinking about the 2019 season. Think Snow!!!
