April 5, May 3, June 7, July summer hiatus.

PRESIDENT’S

PERSPECTIVE

As I write this I am

recovering from jet lag from

our trip to Solden, Austria.

But it was so worth it! The

Alps are beautiful and our

pictures and videos won’t

ever do justice to what we

saw! Many of us took side trips to Innsbruck

and the Swarovski Crystal Museum, as well as

the Aqua Dome. And our final day in Lucerne,

Switzerland was truly enjoyed by all. Many

thanks to Bob Sloan for arranging the trip and

putting up with 50 of us! Bus rides and flights

went off without a hitch!

Looks like our local skiing areas are closed for

the season, but we still have one more big event

to celebrate, and that is our Finger Lakes Ski

Club Annual Banquet. This year it is at the

Springside Inn on Saturday April 16th. Cash bar

at 6pm and dinner at 7pm; $30 per person.

Please let Paulette LeFever or Midge Fricano

know if you are coming.

Hope to see you all there! Come out and

support your Club!

AUSTRIA 2016 SKI TRIP ~ ONE FOR THE BOOKS!

Fifty intrepid adventurers set off from Newark on March 11 for an amazing ski trip of a

lifetime! After 8 hours in the air, we landed in Zurich, Switzerland, loaded the bus, and drove

another four hours through the Alps to Solden, Austria. Our Hotel Tyrol was a great

destination – right in the center of the village and just two (free) bus stops from either gondola.

Breakfast and dinner were included each day, and they had a wonderful chef! We booked four

mountain guides for the first day out skiing, breaking into small groups of about 6-8. This was

an excellent way to explore the mountains safely and get our bearings. In addition to some

fabulous skiing on glaciers and incredible alpine views, some side trips included Innsbruck,

Salzburg, and the Aqua Dome thermal spa. On Saturday, March 19, we loaded up again and

made our way to Lake Lucerne, Switzerland with a brief stop in Liechtenstein en route. We

enjoyed 22 hours in beautiful Luzern, exploring the Allstadt (old town), the wooden Chapel

Bridge, and the Dying Lion monument. Our nine hour flight home was uneventful, and the

bus from Newark pulled in to Emerson Park in Auburn at 3:30 am Monday morning. Even

with a couple of injuries, it was a great trip! Special thanks to Bob Sloan for being our fearless

leader! We’re headed to Big Sky, Montana next year, and possibly another Europe trip in 2018.

See some pictures below and on the FLSC website!
