Be sure to check and up-grade your equipment during the summer so as to be ready when the snow flies.

It was a sad day when I had to scrap my old boots but 20 years should be about all one can expect form a plastic shoe.

See you at the next meeting, As it is written, So shall it be.

4 Nomad Family Trip Dec 30-Jan 5 Sundance/Deer Valley/Park City!! I m still working out the details for our 14 th annual Nomad Family Trip but it s looking like we ll be skiing at Sundance, Deer Valley, and Park City while staying at the Zermatt Utah Adventure Resort in 2 and 3 bedroom condos for 6 nights from December 30, 2018 thru January 5, This will allow us to take advantage of the kids Christmas School Break and avoid missing any school. I m still working out the details/ pricing and hoping Southwest comes in with a better price than United did. However I do expect the pricing to be higher than last year s Family Trip (nothing is inexpensive/cheap), but the Zermatt Resort is an amazing property and has complimentary ski shuttles to Deer Valley and Park City along with local dining and establishments. In addition, kids through young adults (<20 years old) will have the option of sleeping for free on sleeper sofas, and there will be 4 and 5 day lift ticket options. I expect this trip to go sale to all Nomads at the July Social Meeting and please call me at home at if you have any questions.
