Kris’ Kolumn

Welcome to 2016!!

New and old Members are back from the Aspen trip and racing success at Mammoth. What’s next?

Board nominations (Brian), the Dinner-Dance (Lance), more

racing (Craig), and a little wine tasting (Lance)!

Shep & Tara led us to Aspen, and such a wonderful time skiing and partying we had! Next year? Read his article on pages 4-6.

Brian captured the good times at Aspen with a story and photo expose’ (pages 20-23).

Let this smooth talker talk you into taking a position on the Board next year.

Craig salutes our many new members, a few of whom have helped propel our Team Long Beach well into 2nd place and knocking on the door of 1st place (pages 10-12).

Roberto might still have room at the Club Condo(s), if you act fast! (pages 13-18).

Lance has us enjoying the (fermented) fruits of our hard labor(s), when we aren’t at the ski hills (page 19). Can you donate an item for the Dinner-Dance raffle or silent-auction? A few members each year enjoy a decadent harbor cruise on members’ boats.

And, if you’ve had enough snow, just have to get away, but don’t have the time…. Sarah has just the thing for you (pages 7-9).

Cheers!

Kris

PS Many thanks to Sarah, Craig, and Shep for reviewing, while Cindy is in France.

Aspen 2016 Week Ski Trip - March Trip Report

By Bob & Tara Shepard

We are happy to report that everyone on the Aspen Week Ski trip had a great time

during the week. All of the early group including Long Beach and Space Park Ski Club and members from the Edelweiss ski club were treated to a direct flight into Aspen

Airport – YAY ! It snowed the first day, so a few of the members took the day off, to

enjoy the town of Aspen. The following day it snowed very little and the rest of the week it was crystal clear weather, sunshine every day, with snow as deep as you

would want it. In Snowmass, our club Nastar race had to be cancelled, because the course had too much snow; however, the lunch on the hill went as planned. The

Nastar race was rescheduled on Friday, still in Snowmass, with a wonderful race course set up. The Long Beach Ski Club’s Mark Malan came in 1st with a Gold medal,

and Brain Maloney came in second with a Silver medal, and both Kris Flaig and Bob

Shepard received Bronze medals. The Gant Condos were great accommodations where the staff shuttled all of us anywhere we needed to go all over Aspen; it was

great. We all had a fun time for the Après Ski in the J-Bar in the old Jerome Hotel, it was very well attended by all of the ski clubs.

Phil Weisgerber, Lisa & Brian Maloney Après Gang in Jerome J-Bar

The Long Beach & Space Park Ski Club Madd Hatter Party Members decided to surprise the Century City & Edelweiss Ski club members with our crazy Madd Hats at

the Cocktail party before the annual group Banquet dinner on Friday night. It was a

very happy event with Long Beach Ski Club’s Marietta Malan was the winner the Best Female Madd Hat with her fabulous hand-made Rose paper bonnet, and Space Park

Ski club member Quincy Ho won best Male hat with his Pine Tree Branch Crown, which he found after falling into the woods on Ajax mountain that same day.

A large group of all of the clubs enjoyed an evening visit to the Local Aspen Historical

Society Museum in one of the oldest Victorian Wheeler house. Everyone had a great

time seeing some of the history about Aspen, and the people who made it so

wonderful. After 10 ski trips to Aspen we finally got to ski Buttermilk; and what a great

skiing mountain & wonderful Cliff restaurant.

The Space Park Ski Club has, for the last 3 years, hosted the Annual Ski Week Photo

party. So, this year it would be nice for someone in the Long Beach Ski Club to offer their home for hosting this year’s Aspen Photo party. Please contact Shep at 310-

567-5239. Anyone who took videos or photos during the Aspen week, please Email them without any compress in their size to Mike Bilinski at:

[email protected]


Mark Jones & Tara Shepard enjoying the deep power in Buttermilk

The club is still researching where the 2017 week ski trip will take place. Some have suggested a trip to Bormio Italy, and a few have asked about Big Sky Montana or

going to Snowbird & Alta. After we get some of the cost on places, we will email everyone a survey to see where the 2017 Ski Week should take place.

Hope you all will be at the March 2nd LBSC General Meeting. We will be skiing in

Steamboat Springs, Shep & Tara

We attended concerts every night and there was dancing till late on the Lido Deck. The headliner was George Benson, but there was so much talent on this ship, it was

impossible to attend all of the happenings. We had some fabulous entertainment and some outstanding food too. Entertainment Cruise Productions puts on well-planned

and extremely FUN cruises! Pictured are Jan, Bob, our good friend, Sandra Anderson,

Get Loose with Lance By Lance Liebl

February was devoted to skiing events such as: LBSC week trip to Aspen and a

weekend at Mammoth.

Aspen was a great trip that included great snow and many social activities. It was very

cold and most started skiing around 10 am, when it was around 15 degrees. One

evening, Brian and his wife, Lisa, hosted a delicious meal for all the LBSC members. Lisa made homemade spaghetti and meat ball/sausage with an outstanding tomato

sauce. Barbara Nelson and I went shopping for the appetizers. Barbara selected what she wanted and I went around the market to find the ingredients. The week was

successful because of LBSC members, Tara and Shep, who were part of the team of organizers for this event. Four clubs joined together for this trip.

For March, we will be having our annual St. Patrick’s Day Party at the home of Brian

and Lisa Maloney. It’s apparent that we have a bit of Irish here. The party will be Friday, March 18th. The Club will provide the main dish, which includes Costco’s

famous corned beef, boiled red potatoes, and steamed cabbage. See the flyer for details. On Saturday Evening, April 16th, we will be tasting wine at the Urban Table,

located in Belmont Shore at 5000 East 2nd Street. This wine tasting will be unique. I have made arrangements with the owner, Carol, and her wine distributor rep, Kiera,

who will select 4 or 5 wines and Carol will prepare a special menu to coincide with the

wine selected. Recently, Dave Lopez and I attended a Thursday night wine tasting, which is a regular weekly event at the Urban Table. They also have an extensive

appetizer and dinner menu. Look for an upcoming flyer for details.

For May, we will have our annual Dinner-Dance at Malarkey’s, the same location as

last year. We will have a sit down dinner with a beautiful view of the Alamitos Bay.

That night we will have raffles and introduce the past and new LBSC boards. Watch for a flyer for details. As you can see, this club has many activities planned, as well as

skiing trips. This year we have grown to over 80 members.

Hope to see many of the members at these upcoming events.

Lance


Brian having a Blast in Aspen

On Sunday, January 31st, an early am departure was hard, but

the early flight got to Aspen, the next flight landed in Twin Falls and had to be bussed in from there.

Leg Muscle Madness Monday

We started with six skiers at 9:00

am at Aspen’s Ajax Mountain. We had two feet of snow and one more falling from the sky.

Visibility was poor. Early in the morning, two plus feet of powder was unavoidable. Most of the blue runs were

powder fields. Conditions worsened as the day went along.


On Tuesday morning, we were off to Snowmass

with a quick forty five

minute bus ride. Still slightly stormy on

Tuesday, we had 50% powder and 50%

corduroy. Long Beach Ski Club Members skied

together most of the

day. Some of Century Club members joined us.

Dinner for eight was a nightly event. Some

were at ritzy restaurants like Zocirito and Jerome’s, and some were

cooked in the condo. Temperatures on the

slope, Tuesday, were in the teens.

Dropping to near zero on Wednesday.

On Wednesday, I was with Lance, Ron and Dave

at the Highlands. It was cold with temperatures

between two and six degrees. It was good to hit the warming hut after about an hour and a half.

On Thursday, some went to Buttermilk. Buttermilk is a

beginner/intermediate mountain.

It is the home of snow bunnies. I ended up at Snowmass where

there is more diverse skiing. I learned that if you lose your skis in

powder, you should use your poles to poke the powder until you hit

something, preferably your skis!


The Gant gave us 5-Star Service. From heated

towels at the jacuzzi to pick-up and drop-off

shuttles.

Dave & Lisa Felker, and

Robert & Tara

Shepherd did a wonderful job setting up and directing this trip.

Shep recommended that we take a picture of our lift ticket, so, if we lost it, we could go to

the ticket shop and have it reprinted. That

was good advice, as I ended up losing mine! Replacements were $5.

Friday was race day at Snowmass.

We enjoyed blue skies and warmer temps.

The Nastar course was very casual with no long lines. We had Jodi Hein as a first-time racer (and new member). She enjoyed the course. Mark

Malan pulled in the fastest time (in the 26’s) to win the gold trailed by Brian Maloney (in the lower 27’s)

for the silver. Kris Flaig won a bronze (Shep, too!! ).

After the race we had lunch at the Stew Pot.

Incredible, freshly-made stews and soups. Lance Liebl joined us at the Stew Pot, but

didn’t race.

That afternoon, Kris, Jodi, and I went for

mid-mountain rides, which were groomers.

Starting above the tree line at 12000 feet, we had an open hill with no lift lines.


Friday night was the

Mad Hatter Party followed by dinner and

the presentation of awards. Everyone

seemed to have a good

time.

Our tickets were good

for five days. I was out of days and Kris

was heading back to CA with Lance.

So, I picked up the

extra day from his pass. Mark Malan

and I met to ski Ajax on Saturday.

There were no lines for the gondolas

and plenty of room for speed cruising. Speed cruising is bombing intermediate runs at higher speeds. We threw

a double diamond bump run in, too. One last Nastar race for fun. It made for a fun day.

At the airport, someone in the group went to the

bathroom. Somehow, her driver’s license slipped into the toilet. Before she had a chance to reach in and grab

it, the auto flush took her license down the drain. She missed her flight, because Homeland Security wouldn’t

let her through.

fully informed of the inherent hazards and risks associated with Winter Sports Activities, including travel to and

from winter designations. I fully understand that these risks can lead to severe injury and even loss of life. I

further understand that:

1. Risk of injury from the activity and equipment utilized is significant including the potential for broken

bones, severe injuries to the head, neck, and back or other bodily injuries that may result in permanent

disability and death.

2. Possible equipment failure and/or malfunction or misuse of my own or others’ equipment.

3. I AGREE THAT I WILL WEAR APPROVED PROTECTIVE GEAR AS DECREED BY THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE

SPORT I AM PARTICIPATING IN. However, protective gear cannot guarantee the participant’s safety. I

further agree that no helmet can protect the wearer against all potential head injuries or prevent injury to

the wearers face, neck or spinal cord. Failure to wear a helmet may result in denial of any claim(s) against

the Long Beach Ski Club Inc. and its insurance provider.

4. Variation and/or steepness of terrain, variation or changes in surfaces including but not limited to snow

surfaces, ice, bare spots, rocks, stumps, debris, cliffs, trees, fences, posts, trees, light poles, signs, buildings,

roads, walkways, ramps, rails, stairs, pyramids, manual pads, bowls, half-pipes, jumps, padded and non-

padded barriers, other persons, and other natural and man-made hazards.

5. My own negligence and/or the negligence of others, including but not limited to operator error and guide

decision making including misjudging terrain, weather, riding surfaces or other obstacles.

6. Exposure to the elements and temperature extremes may result in frostnip, frostbite, heat exhaustion,

heat stroke, sunburn, hypothermia and dehydration.

7. Dangers associated with exposure to natural elements include but are not limited to avalanche, rock fall,

inclement weather, thunder and lightning, severe and or varies wind, temperature and other weather

conditions.

I understand the description of these risks is not complete and unknown or unanticipated risks may result in

injury, illness, or death. Nevertheless, I wish to proceed and I freely accept and expressly assume all risk,

dangers, and hazards that may arise from such activities which could result in personal injury, loss of life and

property damage to me.
