HELLO EVERYONE,We finally have snow in the mountains and

there is still room on the last Mammoth trip March 23-28. We would like you to sign up and share in the fun and great skiing now.

There are some great activities coming up. Be sure to sign up for the Scripps Oceanography tour or the ethnic dining at Saigon on Fifth or the bus trip to the Getty Villa or the Pops Concert (April 1st

Let’s keep working to make our ski club the best possible by volunteering.
