After 29 years of publishing The National Ski Club Newsletter, I’ve had a lot of fun meeting, partying, and skiing with many club and council officers in club and council meetings, trade shows, and on the world’s ski slopes but, due to continuing health issues, I am retiring as editor of The National Ski Club Newsletter within the next year. I will greatly miss the interaction with the officers of America’s ski clubs and councils and the folks in the ski and travel industries, but it’s time to fade away.
The past three decades have been great! I have skied and written about more than 200 ski resorts in North America, another 200 European ski resorts — and a half-dozen resorts in both Japan and in New Zealand. I’ve traveled to and writen about touring destinations in Morroco, Turkey, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Russia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Belize, Spain, plus Peru’s Macchu Picchu, the Outback and Great Barrier Reef of Australia, Yellowstone in winter, whitewater trips in Utah, Texas, and Colorado, and cities such as Moscow, St. Petersburg, Tokyo, Prague, Rome, Amsterdam, London, Zurich, Athens, Sydney, Aukland, Vancouver, Quebec, New York, San Francisco, and many others.
My plan is to publish the March and May 2016 issues, continue researching content for next season’s issues, and to seek a buyer for the magazine who will continue publishing The National Ski Club Newsletter and its Newsflash email beginning with the November 2016 issue. We’ll see how that plan works out.
