1 A Message from Our President Dec., 2016 My Fellow Fagowees, It's December already? You know what that means! Snow! Well... it will get here soon. It also means it's time to put together your Christmas list. Have you been a good little boy or girl this year? Or naughty enough to deserve a real present? If you can't think of anything you want for Christmas, here are a few things to put on your list. New skis. Do you need new slalom skis so you can get that extra half second and take home some extra hardware this year? Are your skis showing their age? Or is it just you? New board. Bored with falling down a hill on 2 skinny sticks? Try it on one big plank. Our friends at Marhar will be happy to set you up. And Green Ice Wax makes a great stocking stuffer. A new helmet. Did you know the foam in your helmet gets more brittle and less useful over time. The manufacturers say you should replace it every 3-5 years. Part of this is so you spend more money but do you want to find out the hard way that your brain bucket is past its useful life? New boots. The ones you have a probably more comfortable than they were when you first got them but are they too comfortable and letting your foot slide around? And how to they smell? Too bad they don't make ski boots for walkin'. A new jacket. Sure the one you've got still keeps you warm, but does it match your new skis/board/boots/poles/helmet? A GoPro. So you can get your friends' epic crashes on video and share them on Facebook. A season pass to Boston Mills/Brandywine. So you can go after work every day. Or just go three times and not feel bad because it's just BMBW. BTW, we'll have a special guest at the December 20th meeting. He's bringing some Christmas beer with him and maybe a surprise or two. Merry Christmas! Bill The Newsletter of the Cleveland Fagowees

A Message from Our President

A Message from Our President Jan., 2017 My Fellow Fagowees, We're turning 50 this year! Does that seem old to you? Or does it seem young. It's all a matter of perspective. We'll be celebrating all year,
