President’s Message
Here it is November and the weather reports
this past week have shown snow in some of the
northern states and I'm not talking about the
mountains. Our trip to Snowmass is now sold
out. At last count, Linda had 32 members go-
ing to see "Lou tells at Big One" at the comedy
venue, "The Joint", in North Little Rock. We
are now asking all members to sign up for the
Annual Snowball at the November meet-
ing. The Snowball is our premier event of the
year and once again will be held in the Grand
Ballroom of the Crowne Plaza in Little Rock.
This is your chance to "dress up", enjoy live
music by Rockasaurus, exceptional hot and
cold hors d'oeuvres of many varieties, dancing
and a great time is promised to all who at-
tend. Hope to see you all at the November
meeting on the 10th.... till then, THINK SNOW!

President

Tickets $22.00 each
Last January, over 30 Little RockSki Club members met at the Joint Theater & Coffeehouse to see what adventures the fic tional Fertile Family was up to. This popular comedy series continues as ”Lou tells a big one” in the fictional town of Dumpster, AR. This is an original sketch comedy and is family friendly. For those who would like to eat dinner first and have a little extra social time, the back room at Creegan’s Irish Pub (300 Main street, NLR) is reserved for us starting at 5:15 pm. For those who prefer to go directly to the Joint, it is possible to purchase small snacks, small sandwiches, beverages (wine, beer, coffee, soft drinks) at the Joint. Steve Farrell is the head writer, composer and artistic director. His work has been featured on MTV, Saturday Night Live, Off Broadway, The Today Show, NBC’s Nightly News and in thousands of live performances across the country. See Linda Frisbee at the club meeting for ticket availability Or call her at 501-680-8062

SNOWMASS $1499. per person (includes air, ground transfers, condo & 5 day of 6 day lift ticket.)
Snowmass, Colorado is to many skiers, the perfect ski mountain and it may just be. It is always up at the top of the ratings for Favorite Ski Areas in the polls and has been named the number one ski area several times. And, if you need more than one or two mountains to bring you thrills, well there are actually three more just minutes away. Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands & Buttermilk are just a short shuttle ride, and you can ski all four mountains with your lift ticket. Lodging is in the Top of the Village Condos and are ski in and ski out. Other amenities include a pool, hot tub and shuttle on call. There are many great restaurants, shopping and activities for the skier or non skier to indulge in, so what are you waiting for? Get your ski buddies and sign up Now! Payable in three payments of $500, $500. & $499.

Winter Park/Mary Jane
March 2 - 9, 2016 $1275. pp
(Wed. to Wed.) SOLD OUT - Add On Space by multiples of four, if Available.
Includes air, ground transfers, condo and 4 day lift ticket
Two mountains. One for everybody
& one for those who dare for more !
Winter Park ski area is the closest major ski area to Denver & and was often overlooked because it did not have the glitzy reputation of Aspen or Vail. The mountains have always been known for great skiing and now the base has been updated & there is no excuse to stay away any longer. The Mary Jane ski area offers more advanced terrain for those skiers who want a bigger thrill on the steeps. The Zephyr Mountain condos are located at the base area & offer easy access to the lifts (50 yds) and other base area facilities. This ski trip is Wednesday to Wednesday and offers a tremendous value plus it will include a group party as usual. Limited space, so sign up early ! Payable in three payments of $425.00 LRSC membership required. Final payment due December 8, 2015
For more information, contact trip captain: Mike Graves 501-837-7222 [email protected]
