Last Call for Lift Tickets.... Don't forget our General Meeting....   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #180 of 473 |
Hiya Everyone,
Well, the Yankees are 2-0 and I'm writing to you while overlooking the carribean in sunny Central America. I'm preparing myself by storing heat for the winter. Life is too good.

Three dates you should get a handle on - October 18th is the last date to get your
order AND PAYMENT in for lift tickets. Click below to order.
 
October 19th is our General Meeting - if you've never stopped in and visited with our
little fellowhood of skiers and snowboarders, its a good time to do so. We don't bite.
 
Lastly November 1st is the last day to get your payments in for Salt Lake and Zermatt, otherwise the price goes up slightly. If you're thinking of signing up for Salt Lake, there are only a few spots remaining because we're limited to 20 total.
 
That's all from me - Think Sun, I mean, er... Snow.
 
* Alta / Snowbird * Zermatt * Kicking Horse * Lake Tahoe *

Friday November 19th - Doors Open 9:00PM Movie 10:00PM
 
"Soul Purpose" takes an introspective look at the driving forces behind an athlete's devotion to skiing and its lifestyle. Shot on vibrant 16mm film with an aesthetic and soulful integration of photographs, TGR's 2004 release is one of the most progressive, original and creative ski films to date. Soul Purpose features Sage Cattabriga- Alosa, continuing his laid back and stylish assault of big mountain lines, while the rest of the Utah posse continues to drop jaws. Micah and Nobis find undiscovered couloirs in Italy; the jib crew expands the industry's concept of big mountain lines; and Burks, Law and J. Jones descend on Mica Creek BC. Travel the globe to: Romania, Bulgaria, Italy, Mother Russia, British Columbia, Wyoming, Oregon, Utah, California and AK. Athletes include: The Collins boys, Sage, Pierre, Skogen, Marc-Andre, Victoria, J Jones, Woods, Crichton, Rinfret, Law, and many more. Experience the athlete's highs and lows, get a glimpse of their lives, find the soul of skiing, and discover Soul Purpose.
