Training still planned for Monday

The weather may be frightful in some places but for those of you who have asked; we do not see any delay in training Monday morning.

Big Party coming up!

 

GORE MOUNTAIN SKI CLUB NEW YEAR'S EVE BASH

Dear Ski Club, Emeritus friends, and NYSEF coaches,

Looking for a great time with old friends and new....  Come to the 5th annual Gore Mountain Ski Club Dinner Dance at the Inn on Gore Mountain on Friday, December 31st, 2010.  Guaranteed good eats, drinks, and music!!!  

 
 

The event starts at 7pm with cocktail hour (cash bar)
8pm Dinner
9:30pm The Upsiders, with our very own Steve Gaechter, will entertain you and the dance floor will be hopping
Midnight Champagne Toast (included in per person cost)
Band plays until 12:30am ish

 
 

This year's menu (YUMMO!!):

Stuffed Salmon
Stuffed Pork
Lemon Chicken
Pasta Prima w/veggies

Scalloped Potato
Salad Bread
Coffee Tea Soda
Desserts

and cash bar

The cost this year is $65 per person.  At this point we are asking for $40 per person for NYSEF employees.   We would like to further discount the cost to our coaches in recognition of their support of our children while perhaps making the event more accessible for them in term of expense.  We can only do that with your generosity.  So, if you would like to sponsor a coach (or even part of a coach), it would be much appreciated.

 
 

Please give either Tanya Gaechter (in the NYSEF building) or Nadine Slemp  (in the lodge) your money -- checks made out to Gore Mountain Ski Club.  Tanya's in the NYSEF office this weekend and Nadine will be at Gore this Sunday.  We will both be around all Christmas week.  We'd appreciate it if you could pay ahead so we're not collecting a bunch of money at the dinner dance.

 
 

That night, please be sure and thank the Inn's owners for their gracious hospitality throughout the years -- Sue and Rich Mannuci.

And be sure to thank Steve and Tanya Gaechter for Steve donating his musical talents and both playing host to the band while in North Creek!!!  We are delighted to have such a talented group of musicians play for this event!

 
 

Thanks all!   Looking forward to an unbelievable night!!  Hope to see you there!!!!

This weekend at Gore

Well folks, it has been colder then…….well colder then something that is really, really cold this week and the Gore snowmaking crew has been hard at work putting down a whole lot of snow this week. Ole Mother Nature helped out a bit as well, as she provided a few inches to the top of the hill.

So, this weekend the J4's have a parent meeting Saturday afternoon and the J3's have a parent meeting Sunday afternoon. Check in with those coaches for exact times.

The JI II group will be at their first races of the year this Saturday up at Whiteface. The weather looks perfect and I hear that conditions will be fine, so good luck to everyone!

Our first races at Gore are this coming Monday and Tuesday. We still need some volunteers for the event. Remember that nothing say's happy holiday more then volunteering for a NYSEF event!

The J5 race schedule has been posted on the NYSEF website. Take a look if you like.

The Holiday week training schedule is Sunday December 26 – Friday December 31^st at noon. There is no training December 24 & 25^th and January 1^st. The building will be open though, if you want to come inside for something.

 

Happy Holidays,

Gore Ski Club

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!!!

 
 

As far as the easy fundraising opportunity for Gore Ski Club, it goes something like this...

 
 

Many of you will be producing Christmas Cards, Holiday cards, photo memory books, photo calenders and other photo related items as gifts this holiday season.

 
 

Pinhole press (www.pinholepress.com),  a producer of the highest quality photo cards, photo books, etc, will support a fundraising effort for our club and will giving back a little to you, as well, when you use www.pinholepress.com to produce your photo related projects this holiday season.  

 
 

Pinhole is the real deal to produce top quality photo products - see some reviews here:  http://alphamom.com/family-fun/personalized-photo-notepads-for-holiday-gift-giving/ ; http://ohjoy.blogs.com/my_weblog/2010/10/love-these.html ; http://www.dailycandy.com/kids/online/article/92187/Pinhole-Press-Online-Photo-Boutique or you can friend Pinhole Press on facebook to stay up to date.

 
 

Here is the deal: Go to www.pinholepress.com, upload your photos to create photo cards, photo books, etc.  Use the discount code GoreSkiClub  at check out and you will receive a 5% discount for yourself on all items purchased (before shipping & taxes) AND
you will earn 10% of the purchase price as a contribution to the Gore Ski Club.  Anyone/everyone can use the discount code, so pass it along to all of your friends and family!

 
 

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.)
