Gray Wolf Luncheon – Retro Day Tuesday March 25th

The next Gray Wolf Luncheon is scheduled  Tuesday March 25th at Wolf Creek Ski Area Main Lodge beginning at 11:00am and concludes 1:00pm.

Theme is Retro Day Tuesday so get your costumes ready!  The club will pay up to $8.00 per each current Gray Wolf member’s lunch meal.

Once again we will have participating members get a token before they get in line at the Lodge. That way we can check to be sure they are a current member. The cashier will take the token and make it easier on the cashier and let us reimburse the ski area sooner.

A group photo will be taken at 12:15pm outside the Main Lodge

 

Lunch Special is Chicken Enchiladas and dessert.

RSVP by March 18th with either the lunch special or other menu item

Senior Skiing Groups in the USA

With help from Harriet Wallis, who organizes the Wild Old Bunch senior skiing group at Alta, UT,  Rosie Piller put together a Google spreadsheet of senior skiing groups in the United States. Our organization is listed! I hope you will find the spreadsheet useful if you travel out of state and want to connect with other senior skiers.
It’s a work in progress–surely there are groups to add and corrections to make, and we welcome your input! But please DO NOT flood my email account with corrections or additions; rather, use the method described at the top of the Google spreadsheet.
