welcome to the slyfox ski club web site!

The SlyFox Ski Club was founded in 1967. We are a year-round ski, snowboarding and social club for active adults.

We offer sports-oriented adults the opportunity to participate in recreational activities in a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. Year-round, we enjoy camaraderie in sports and social activities that mainly revolve around the outdoors.

Our club members are active adults ages 21 to 70+. Single and married, from all walks of life. Abilities range from beginners to expert skiers and snowboarders. Whatever your skiing or snowboarding ability, there are members with similar abilities and interests to accompany you on and off the hill.

Because of our group buying power and camaraderie, we're sure you will appreciate the affordability and unique nature of our club.

Announcements

All past records for the club are being sought out. Over the 43 years the club has been in existance and as board members change and officers come and go, we have lost track of a lot of the club's historical documents, photos, membership lists, memorabilia, trip attendance records, etc. If you know of, or have any records, be they business or fun, please contact our Historian Jane via Historian@SlyFoxSkiClub.org or at (920) 731-8621 and she will arange to collect them. No item is too small. We'd really like to get everything organized and put together in one place for the future of our club.

Words from the President

December's "The McMonagle Chronicles"

I hope everyone was able to enjoy a good Thanksgiving. Our first December meeting, December 2nd, we will be hosting our annual fashion show. Several ski shops will be showing off the latest ski and snowboard fashions for the slopes. Next, December 16th, we are having our annual Christmas/Holiday Party. See page 2 in the December 2009 issue of Fox Tales, for more information and sign-up. Our January 6th Sly Fox meeting will have a presentation by Dr. Tim Malone from the Sports Medicine Center.

We still have openings for the Big Snow weekend, January 15th – 17th, where we are skiing Indianhead and Blackjack and the Marquette weekend, February 12th- 14th. These are both great ski weekends and always a good time so, don’t wait too long to sign up.

Our Winter Park trip filled up quickly (we may have a single airline seat left) if you are truly interested we can put you on a waiting list (occasionally there are cancellations) but don’t delay. Contact Sam Fontaine @ 920-337-0975 or “e-mail to: samfont@athenet.net” for more information.

Our Telluride trip still has a few openings, (at some point we will need to cut airline seats) so if interested, sign up soon.

On the local ski front: Brule was scheduled to open November 20th. Marquette Mountain will be close to opening if they get 3-4 days and nights of cold weather. Indianhead anticipates a November 27th opening. Big Powderhorn Mountain is under new ownership and has a December 11th planned opening. Blackjack is re-opening this year under new ownership and management; they don’t have an anticipated opening date as of yet. This information was from websites of the respective mountains.

In parting I’d like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Joyous Holiday season and we hope to see everyone on the slopes.

It’s All Downhill From Here!
