Page AUGUST 3 2008 THE INSIDE EDGE THE INSIDE Page EDGE 3 Beaver Creek A No Go! Sad but True I am sad to announce our December 2008 ski trip to Beaver Creek trip is being cancelled due to lack of sign ups. We will try again next year, but at this time we do not have enough interest to confirm reservations. If you have made a deposit on this trip you will be receiving a refund or you can move your deposit to another trip. We are a great group to travel with and if you are a member and have not taken a trip with us you are missing an opportunity to travel to some fun places and have a great time. Activities Telluride Colorado Jan 31 - Feb 7, 2009 Whether you are looking for a kick butt ski vacation, ski cruising w/ a great view, or an exciting winter getaway, the club's '09 Telluride trip is for you!! We're leaving for Telluride on January 31, 2009 for seven great nights in this fun western town - we return home on February 7th. The Telluride area offers phenomenal skiing, plus a great selection of additional activities - X-C skiing, snow shoeing, two local theaters, museums, snowmobiling, restaurants, bars, and shops, all within easy reach from our condos w/ a beautiful Rocky Mountain backdrop. Price for the land package is $ 775.00 which includes 5 days of skiing and our lodging in two person condos with an easy walk to the slopes. We are still working on the best deal we can find for airfare, and you may have some choices to make, so come to the August meeting or call me for the details!

Give me a call or see me at the August meeting! We are going to be out of town next week, but feel free to leave a message, we will definitely call you when we get home!
