Preview Next Season’s Powder Plan
Dreaming of next season already? So are we. We’ll be back on the Ikon Pass, and our full trip lineup officially rolls out on June 1st. If Jackson Hole and Sun Valley are on your wish list, be sure to plan for the Full Ikon Pass—both of those trips will require it.

Fresh Faces Welcome
Our club runs on members who step up, pitch in, and help keep the fun going. Electronic voting for Board Officers kicks off at the April 13th Club Meeting, and this year’s slate is made up of the same dedicated volunteers from last year. We’re grateful they’ve raised their hands again — and we’d love to welcome some new faces, too.
Getting involved doesn’t have to start with an officer seat; serving as a committee co-chair is a great way to test the powder and make a difference.
