Happy Thanksgiving to all Gore Ski Club Families and Friends!
We truly have so much to be thankful for...it is ok to say it out loud and take a moment in thanks..
Back at the hill, the snow making equipment is in full operation at Gore, now that the weather is cooperating.
Saturday is opening day and the Slemp Family will be there early to enjoy the first turns of the new season (Well, it will be the first turns for me, anyway! ). The NYSEF Training Center will be open for NYSEF kids to pick up your pass.
Regular season NYSEF training is scheduled to begin on Saturday December 4th at 8:30AM. Both Saturday 12/4 and Sunday 12/5 will be half days as the NYSEF staff will have their annual staff meetings in the afternoon both days. Please continue to check Bone's blogs for any updates... http://gorenysef.blogspot.com
If you haven't already done so, please complete your annual club membership form attached and send it off to Linda Feist as noted on the bottom of the form! Thanks to those that have already paid their dues!!!

Bone has identified that money earned from this fundraising effort will go to upgrade the office equipment in the Gore Race Center, starting with an upgraded copier. And we all can remember times waiting for stapled copies of start lists and run orders from the current set up. Note, no disrespect to Kelly & Tanya intended. So that is a good choice by Bone.....
Thank you and see you on the slopes!

(For full disclosure, Pinhole Press also serves as technical demonstrator of one of the software products of Mohawk Fine Papers. Hard as it is to imagine, I work for a paper mill that not only produces some of the finest paper used around the world but also creates incredibly brilliant and elegant software - software primarily used professional photographers. Mohawk has chosen to use Pinhole Press to support charitable/non profit organizations in which our employees participate -- like the Gore Ski Club. In the mean time, Mohawk gets to vigorously exercise and to demonstrate the software to the trade. We also get to make really well crafted, cool stuff.... all made in the USA and the paper is manufactured 100% by windpower.)
