Message from the President Hello Gators, Get in the mood for the ski season at our General Meeting on Thursday, October 13th.  We will feature a guest speaker from Peter Glenn Ski & Sports who will show you some of the latest ski equipment and talk about the latest trends in ski equipment and clothing. Thanks to all of you Gators who have continued to support our Club! The official summer travel is here! Besides all our ski trips on sale, the next trip is off to Greece in just a few days. The Badlands National Park was a success and a great time was had by all! An amazing trip to Thailand is departing at the end of October.  Check out all our ski trips as well, there is a great variety from skiing in the USA to Europe. We have our outdoor happy hours every Friday, full moon meetups, bike rides, ax throwing, charter fishing and other outdoor activities. Join the fun!  The volunteers on our Social Committee meeting will be meeting soon to bring you enjoyable parties and events this year. If you have an idea for an event, please bring it to the committee. The next social committee meeting is scheduled for Sunday, October 2, 2022. If you would like to get more involved, please join the committee, volunteer to lead an event or trip, or offer to assist other officers. We are looking for volunteers to help us with our events, so please come to our next meeting. With your help we can make your Club even better.  Congratulations to Teresa “Terry” Collins Taucher our New Member at Large. We are excited to have her join our board.  We are currently looking for a Communications Director to join our board. Please contact me if you are interested. Thank you, for the opportunity to serve you. Sincerely, Kelly Lunsford

Hi Gator Skiers and Non-Skiers, Update on Snowmass. The air is to Denver instead of Eagle. The cost of Eagle was prohibitive, and we had to make a change. Air prices are out of sight. Sorry for the change. Good news - The price of Steamboat has been reduced to $2820 due to the price of air. How do you figure! Check with me for separate no air and no lift prices. I want to let you know I am available to all of you to answer your questions and hopefully solve your problems. That may not always be possible, but I will make every effort to come to successful solutions. Our lineup for the 2023 Ski Season is as follows:   - Taos, NM – January 14-21, Patti Bochniak Trip Leader pattibochniak@gmail.com, Space for 1 female  - Steamboat, CO – FSC Trip January 21-28 Trip Leader TBD, Space for 1 female  - Solden & Solzburg, Austria – January 28 – February 7 Kelly Lunsford Trip Leader kellykay27@bellsouth.net, Space Available  - Mammoth, CA – February 11-18 Karen Monz Trip Leader kmonz11@gmail.com, Space Available  - Snowmass, CO – February 25 – March 4 Sabina Cowie Trip Leader, Sold Out  - Malta/Madonna di Campiglio, Italy – February 28 – March 12 Terry Collins Taucher Trip Leader tctaucher@comcast.net, Space Available - Big Sky, MT - March 18-25 Dawn McCormick Trip Leader dmcormick@wm.com, Sold Out  And to my trip leaders, I am here for you and will be available for your questions and anything you need help with. I promise to answer your emails as soon as possible and get you the answers you need for the trips. I know you all want to do the best you can for your trip participants and make your trip a memorable event. While we are just beginning our 2023 trip schedule, I will be considering the 2024 schedule of trips. I would like to have your input on destinations you would like to visit. It is necessary to plan trips at least a year in advance to be able to secure contracts and space at the resorts. Another consideration is the Ikon and Epic Passes for lift tickets. Many Epic Pass locations are not offering group lift tickets but will offer daily Epic Passes. Feel free to contact me with your questions and ski trip suggestions. I look forward to hearing from you. cpattiso@aol.com or 772-323-0315 Thank you again for your support and skiing ideas, which make our Ski Trip Program the best. Carol Pattison – VP Ski Trips
