This is a bulletin board system we can try out. The purpose is to allow members to post plans, organize
car pools, whatever. It's a very simple system that, I hope, will be useful. Try it out!

My family will again be working and playing at Sugarloaf this season. We are there just about every weekend and Vacation week. We are in need of a seasonal rental that is not very expensive. A room with Kitchen and bath facilities or a multi bedroom place that we can split with someone else would do. If anyone knows of anything please forward a contact that we can get in touch with. Our email is taylorfitts@earthlink.net

Hey Jim! Thought I would give this message board a shot. It seems pretty simple and could be a great way to get together with club members on a short notice. Thanks for putting it together!

  The Learn to Ski Program is ready to start for 2002. For the January session, we have 34 children and 6 adults registered for the downhill ski/snowboard programs. Two people have registered for the cross-country program, and a number of people have called to inquire about both programs.
   The next Learn to Ski session will begin on February 7 for adults and February 9 for Children. Please remember to register early so the information can be forwarded to Hermon Mountain. Also, membership funds should go directly to Cindy Dunlap instead of included in Learn to Ski registrations. Thanks!

I am a local physical education teacher, in Hampden.
I am trying to put together an "exposure to x-country skiing" program for the children at our elementary school. There is not a budget for this program at this time, so I'm trying to do this myself. I have collected 10 pairs of skis and a pile of boots by yard saleing, ski sales and donations. I have a long way to go but I am motivated.

As the unofficial picture-taker for the PVSC racing program, I've accumulated around 200+ digital images of the participants in the program, taken at two practice sessions at Hermon and at the Eaton and Squaw races. Dan Harrison had these up on his computer when we showed the videos at his house and again at the banquet – some blurred, some with only half a racer, but some worth keeping. I would be delighted to share these with parents, grandparents, etc., and would be happy to burn a CD for anyone who wants it. My e-mail address is Richard_Judd@umit.maine.edu. If you would prefer to write or call, my address is 48 Ferry Road, Orrington, 04474, and my phone # is 825-3809. If you send me an address, I'll send out a CD. If you know other families in the program and could share the CD around, that would help. I will wait until after the March 15 race so I can get everything on one CD, then send them out. Richard Judd

Henry,

The PVSC holds a one day ski sale of consignment goods and does not have any equipment to sell. All of the equipment is returned to its owners at the end of the one day sale.

We are sorry you missed this year's sale. Other ski clubs in the state hold their own sales and I believe there will be sales every weekend for the next month or two.
