NEWS
There will be a family dance/get together for all SFNSC skiers and families Jan 27/01 from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. We need some kind person to bring a stereo system. We have a DJ, and the use of the lodge with the stage. Also, please bring your CDs (with your names on them) to the sock hop. There will be no charge for the event, but we will sell pizza, pop, juice, chips, and baking (if anyone wished to donate cupcakes, squares, cookies,etc.). Should be FUN and a great way to meet other skiing families! (For information or to provide support please contact Marg Barbeau at 759-1802)

BON SOO LANTERN SKI DATE CORRECTION: This event is being held on Feb 3rd from dusk till Midnight. Please change your calendar.

The Lodge has offered the use of the upstairs banquet room for us to use as a meeting location for Jackrabbits. We are now going to operate out of that space and will not be using the downstairs gun range. Please look for signage each Saturday to determine which entrance to use. We would encourage Coaches to have their groups meet inside (never know when we will be detained unexpectedly and we don't want the kids waiting outside).

Ted's Adult Ski & Slide: Sunday, Jan 21, 2001; 11 am to 3 pm Ski out to mystery hill with your crazy carpet for some playtime, then back to lodge for a late lunch. call Ted Sutton at 759-4163 for information. . Bring a small backpack with your DRINK OF CHOICE, a crazy carpet, munchies and water, (extra clothing ie. Hats, socks, mitts etc. should be considered as part of your kit) (this is an ADULT only event please)
