RETIREES DISCORD PAGE 

I’ve created a Retirees discord channel on the SKIBACS Discord Page. We can post information to this page to share. Feel free to post if you’d like to pass on any information to other members. To access the discord page, click HERE.

SONIC BOOMERS! 

SKIBACS offers a Wednesday 9:30 a.m. to noon ski improvement class for level 5 (advanced intermediate) and above at the Summit at Snoqualmie. This is great for retirees who want to avoid the weekend lines and put a little polish on that Wedeling! If you wish to register for this class, choose the ‘9:30 Alpine Skiing’ option from the class drop-down on the registration page.

SMALL GROUP SKI TRIPS! 

The survey showed interest in Retiree Small Group Ski Trips. The concept is that a group of 2 to 4 folks could take a ski trip together to one of the many IKON resorts and possibly share an Airbnb or common hotel, rental car, etc., without the lead time and complications of a large group of people. Note that these would not be SKIBACS-sponsored trips, but this way you would be coordinating with folks who already have something in common and would like to ski with acquaintances rather than going on a trip solo. 

Here are some of the resorts that were suggested by our members that are on the IKON pass and some are easily accessible via non-stop flights from Seattle: 

Palisades (Reno) 
Big Sky (Bozeman – BZN) 
Revelstoke (gotta drive, there are no close airports) 
Winter Park (Denver then drive – DEN) 
Steamboat Springs (HDN) 
Snowbird (Salt Lake City – SLC) 
Solitude (Salt Lake City – SLC) 
Mammoth (smaller airport nearby) 

If anyone’s interested in this option, send an email to me at retiree@skibacs.org. I can put you on a separate DL and post it to interested parties and on the Retiree Discord page.
