Looking back to last year when we were waiting for snow in order to start our season of activities, this year we have been much luckier. This past weekend we were able to run our first day trips of the season to both Mount St. Louis and Blue Mountain. Members also returned from the first charter trip to Panorama, and this coming weekend our downhill instructors are off to Mont Tremblant for their annual training weekend.
On the cross-country front, many of the resorts are already operating and our first trips are open for registrations and have filled quickly – if you would like to go please join the waitlist and if there are enough members we might be able to run a second bus.
As a reminder, we have downhill day trips scheduled for December 28 and 29 so if you want to get out over the holidays please register quickly. January trips will open soon. As a heads up, our annual Double Double day with both morning and afternoon lessons is scheduled for January 11 at Mount St. Louis.
I would also like to thank everyone who attended our First Tracks Holiday Party last Friday at the National Yacht Club. It was a fun evening catching up with so many members. We have more social events planned for the new year, including our special 75th Anniversary Gala next spring, so please keep reading all of the communication from the club.
Please take care over the holidays and stay healthy! See you in the new year!

President, High Park Ski Club
