We are trying to put together a multi-session race clinic that would
run alternate Friday mornings of the Trailblazer races for 1 3/4 hrs. each. 
We would like to have people commit to a minimum of 3 sessions. 
The cost will be $33  per session with a minimum of 5 racers.  We
 may  be able to negotiate if we get 10 -12 participants.  Please 
click here to send us an email and tell us you are interested in this
opportunity to learn to ski more efficiently and effectively!  We need
 an indication of interest to proceed.

Trailblazer Bridge starts January 2nd!

 Bridge is scheduled for Wednesday afternoons in the Homeowner's Lounge (above the sales center) in the base lodge starting at 12:30.  Bob Smith will give a lesson and we will play until 4 PM.  Our season will close March 27th.  No bridge on Wednesday, February 20th.  Tables will be set for beginners and non duplicate players.  The charge is $6 for members and $10 for non-members.  Trailblazer members new to bridge are free for their first time.  Come, try, and see how much fun bridge can be!  Please contact Nancy McMahon with any questions at 802-297-1606 or Chance145@aol.com

 


OUR LONG AWAITED 50 PLUS WEEKEND 
 WAS AGAIN PLAGUED BY NEW ENGLAND WEATHER.

Wellies and an umbrella might have been the more appropriate gear but for those who braved the elements......the skiing was surprisingly good.  First Run Ski Shop hosted a wine & cheese reception on Friday to give members and friends a chance to see this year's new gear and fashions.  Stratton's snowsports coaches offered mini-clinics on the snow to help work off the morning donuts.  The Gala Opening Party was a huge success!  Over 150 enjoyed a fabulous cocktail hour, dinner and dancing to Don & Wiley's great sound in the festively decorated west wing.  The sun finally emerged to the delight of skiers on Sunday.   We'll have some photos of the fun in a future issue.  Thanks to all helping to make this happen.
