The Craigmeur Gang has returned from Jackson Wyoming. Everyone had a great time. We skied the steep terrain at Jackson Hole with Sun and lots of good scenery at 10,000 feet for the first two days. We then went to Grand Targhee and skied the Teton’s – Fantastic.
Snowmobiling though Yellowstone National Park and saw Old Faithful go off right on time.
That night the mountain got lots of new snow and we skied the deep powder for two more days. On the last day we were up to our knees in powder. Even two of the non-skiers had fun, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Oh – and don’t forget the Cowboy Bar, where we spent many a night. A memorable trip with memorable folks. All enriched old friendships and many made new ones. Craigmeur Trips are the best, because Craigmeur Folks are the best.

Once again the Club was well represented at the NJ Rock Gym. About a dozen members and guests came to tried their hands at going vertical including some that this was their first attempt at climbing. All met sucess at they reached the top. One minor instruction we apparently omitted to those new to the sport is that once you get to the top you must let go of the wall to get back down! Thanks to Ken for not only arranging the evening, but also, offering his skills and experience to coach climbers into stretching past what they thought they could due and ultimately reaching their goals.

Having attended the last five Holiday Parties with Craigmeur Ski Club at the Exchange, I can say this last one had the MOST dancing by the MOST people for MOST of the time. DJ Earl offered a great selection with requests from the floor. Thanks to Karen Blaine, we had a circle of fun with individuals strutt’n their stuff! Not only did the dancing make many happy, but the menu was a pleaser, too! Those that chose to stand off on the side lines were having fun watching others enjoy themselves. Plenty of “Grab Bags” made the holiday spirit as well as the “spirit” behind the bar! We totalled almost 50 of good fun loving Craigmeur “family” members. Looking forward to another “dancing” event next year. Watch out for Larry on the dance floor. Yes people, I said Larry actually danced…it was so much fun! (Next year I want to see Hans and Lee step up to the plate. Come on guys….even the Swiss Chef was able to move his feet with some kind of rhythm.) See you on the dance floor next year!
Pictures are on their way…better late than never they say.

It’s that time again, The Special Olympics are coming and the Winter Games will be happening at Mountain Creek February 2nd and 3rd 2010. It is a great time to give back to the community and help these kids and adults. Both myself and Eric Strand have been volunteering for this event for the past 4 years and find it very gratifying when you see your athlete collect his/her medal on the podium. The event needs volunteers for all positions for 1 or both days, whatever you can give. The application is attached. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any meeting. Please come out and support this event.
Thank You, Roy Spierer
