At last night’s (11/12/2008) meeting we had guest speakers from Signature Fitness. They provided insight to simple exercises to prepare to the upcoming ski (and snowboard) season. In literally minutes per week we can easily reduce the “I hurt everywhere” the day after the first day we get back on the slopes. Our thanks go out to the folks from Signature for taking the time to come and speak. Check out their website at: http://www.signaturefitness.net/
Re. Tonight’s Meeting, November 12, 2008.
We have a personal trainer and nutritionist coming in from Signature Fitness to give us some great information about health and fitness as it relates to skiing/snowboarding to help us get ready for the upcoming season.
They will share some great tips and show us some stretching and exercises we can do now to be ready for that first big run down the mountain!!
It will be fun and informative.

Well, it was a gloomy,dreary,misty,and wet day in which 28 paintball toting troops came out to attack the fields at Tuxedo Ridge Ski Area. Once everyone was assembled and ready to ascend the slopes at Tuxedo Ridge, we loaded up in the 6 wheel army troop carrier and took the 4 minute ride up the mountain. During our ascent, our organizer Glenn DeSantis came up with a stunning observation. He officially notified us stating ” There is a bar in the base lodge”. Some of us had just that in mind. Once we exited the troop carrier at the summit and had our briefing from the refs, we were ready to hit the course. And that we did with two teams.
Remember Glenn’s observation about the bar, Ken fox had retained that thought so vividly that as soon as he hit the course, it was a quick 3 minutes before he let out a barage of paintballs and immediately shot another player. That earned Ken a trip to the bar only after a detour to Good Samaritan Hospital for his injury from slipping on a rock. His combat injury consisted of needing stitches for a facial laceration under the left eye. That puts Ken in the pre season injury Hall of Fame with Chuck Emery. All in all, it was a fun day of various paintball games and will definitly be continued as a annual Craigmeur event.
The season is officially underway!
This past Wednesday’s party was attended by over 70 members. It began with an excellent recap slide show of the past year’s events skillfully choreographed to music.  This was followed by a continuous silent slide show – thanks to all the photographers and videotographers and to Larry for putting the movie and slide show together.  Of course there were general party activities: eat – drink – talk – repeat.
Time to wax the skis and boards any think SNOW!
See you on the slopes…
