Thank you for taking the time to provide us with what you would like SKIBACS retirees chairperson to focus on.
Activities you would like to see during the ski season
  • More activities during the week at the lodge
There is a Wednesay morning adult ski lesson for skiing ability 5 and above at Snoqualmie, goes 9:30 to lunch. Lunch is a sack lunch (you provide) and in the Instructor lodge. Free skiing in the afternoon, would you be interested?Possibly
In the past, the retirees would volunteer to decorate for the Holiday Social. This year it will be Sunday Dec.1 from 5 to 7, setup at 4:30. Would you be interested in helping decorate for the Holiday SocialNo
As two thirds of the year there’s no skiing, it was suggested that we have other activities where members could meet up and enjoy each other’s company while having some fun. As we are retired, typically activities on the weekdays are better to avoid crowds but not exclusive to weekdays.
What activities interest you
  • Floating the Skagit river to eagle watch
  • Mushroom hunting (ie. Chantrelle season)
  • Day Hikes
What can SKIBACS do to include the retirees in activitiesI think your survey is a good start. Perhaps during an event, try interviewing with open questions to get input of what would be helpful.
Any other comments?I'm a SKIBACS instructor so I'm pretty engaged within that section of the SKIBACS community. With my limited time, it's not a strong interest in spending more time with SKIBACS activities as my spouse doesn't ski/snowboard and I need to spend time with her interests.
