The absolutely perfect ski day of the year occurred on July 14^th at Lake Hopatcong. Craigmeur Ski Club members were blessed with a warm summer breeze, a clear blue sky, and an average temperature of 88 degrees. There was not one thermal sock lost nor goggle fogged! The ever gracious Handsome Glenn and Delightful Debi opened their beautiful home to approximately 40 warm-water-bugs. We spent the entire day waterskiing, tubing, swimming, sunning on Glenn’s saxony lawn, and of course eating and drinking to our hearts’ content. It was akin to a Club Med vacation right in the heart of New Jersey. We’d like to extend a hearty thanks to everyone who brought the amazing food (not junk at all – pretty impressive, folks), the grog (same ol’ junk – impressive in volume only), the speed boats (Glenn’s, Chuck’s, Pat’s, Fred’s, & Mark’s), the skis (all varieties), the crazy tubes (let’s hope Pat’s can be repaired), and the gas (at current prices, a really big thank you).

The general meeting of the Craigmeur Ski Club was once again well attended. Meeting highlights include the following tidbits:

Bob reported that the lodge will be oben on December 15th and Christmas week.

Our club race is tentatively scheduled for March 10th.

Our social calendar is busting at the seams. October 20th is the Jamboree at the Westin Inn in Morristown (7-11pm). Roy is running a booth for the club (he needs volunteers to help man in). The party includes a silent auction & dancing. Please come! October 25th is Membership Night for the club at the Exchange. Oh dear, this is another party. It includes refreshments, a slide show, door prizes, and more. And we’ve been invited to High Life Ski Club’s Halloween party at their lodge scheduled for October 28-29th. They said something about a graveyard??? Our November calendar includes guest speaker Bill Thistle at our regular club meeting on November 1st, our BIG MOVIE NIGHT on November 4th (see this website for more info), and all our regular meetings every Wednesday at the Exchange. December is busy and includes Open House at the lodge December 1-3 and our Holiday Party at the Exchange on December 13th.

Ski instruction for members is still being offered by Karen Blaine.

Maryanne is still offering discount season passes and mult-trip passes to Mountain Creek at group rates.

Chris’s report from ski council was packed with information. Council will be having a booth at Giants Stadium ski sale on December 4-9, Windham Tune-Up day will be December 2nd, and Ski Night at Hidden Valley will be January 18th. There is still availability on St. Anton and Panorama ski trips. Orders for the first round of ski vouchers are due by November 1st.

Three potential new members were greeted and one new member was voted in. Welcome Charles.

Under old business, Roy announced that there are five openings for the Vail Trip on February 24-March 3rd. 27 people are currently signed up to go. He reminded everyone that the BIG MOVIE NIGHT event, Snow Gods, is still selling tickets (albeit slowly) and that club member Bill Jones will be writing about Meathead Productions in his magazine, Snow East. Roy also announced that Special Olympics day at Mountain Creek will be January 29-30th and that he will again be participating. He invited others to do the same. There was a short discussion about which channel to use on walkie talkies (whether to change it). Another discussion was prompted by Christine on how our club could participate in Toys for Tots.

The next meeting will be on October 18th at 8:00 at The Exchange.

Thirty three extraordinary people attended the October 5th meeting at the Exchange. Meeting highlights are as follows:

The lodge will be open this weekend. It will also be open for a variety of special events and activities in the future. Sign-ups for the lodge will, as always, be taken one month in advance.

The social calendar is filling up rapidly. Upcoming events for this month include the Jamboree at the Westin Inn in Morristown on October 20th and Membership Night at the Exchange on October 25th.

In our health and welfare portion of the meeting we learned that Oliver is having back surgery on Monday…we all wish him well and hope he recuperates before it snows.

While there are no ski area reports yet, it was announced that group rate season passes and group rate multi-trip passes to Mountain Creek can be purchased through the club member Maryanne. A link will be set up on the website to enable this…or simply come to a meeting to find out more.

New Jersey Ski Council is running a variety of trips this year…Vail, St. Anton, and Panorama to name a few. Also, discount vouchers to ski resorts in the area can be purchased at Craigmeur Ski Club regular meetings. The first round of vouchers will be purchased by November 1st.

We had three new prospective members at the meeting last night. Welcome.

Under old business it was announced that the Craigmeur Vail trip scheduled for February 24-March 3 has five openings. It was also announced that tickets to Meathead’s premier film, Snow Gods, are currently on sale through this website.

The next regular meeting will be October 11, 2006.

The Craigmeur Ski Club’s first summer meeting occurred on the summer solstice, June 21, 2006. Highlights of the meeting included a recapitulation of upcoming events: July 29th Rafting Trip, August 12th Clam Bake, October 20th Jamboree, and October 25th Membership Night. The VAIL TRIP, scheduled for February 24-March 3, was officially announced. Deposits for that trip are being collected starting now by Roy.

Larry presented our new and nifty website using an LCD on the Exchange’s downstairs party room wall. He also officially announced Craigmeur’s upcoming movie premier of a Meathead Movie Production. Previews of Meathead Productions were projected with an LCD on the wall. This avante guard ski documentary is tentatively scheduled for viewing in the fall as a Craigmeur Ski Club Event. Details are forthcoming.

Unfortunately there were no ski reports on June 21st. The next general meeting is scheduled for July 5, 2006 at 8:00pm at the Exchange.
