Why I’m a Member of the Columbia Ski Club
Athena Dalrymple
Just as many people believe you have to
be new to Howard County to join
Newcomers of Howard County, so do
many people believe you have to be a
skiier to join and enjoy the Columbia Ski
Club, and I am hear to tell people you can
believe in Santa Claus, but don't believe
in such requirements for joining these
clubs, as it just ain't so! I am one of the
approximately 30% of people in the CSC
who do not ski and love belonging to the
group! CSC has an email list called MTS
which stands for "More Than Ski," and I
participate in many activities through
that.
Some of the many activities I have
enjoyed via MTS include: enjoying hot
cocoa and blueberry bagels with jam and
strawberry cream cheese before a
stimulating pre- and post-talk
surrounding interesting movies at
Sundays at the Charles arranged by
super networker Marge Collins,; enjoying
dinner following super hero and other
action films at Snowden Square arranged
by super Frank Marconi; playing trivia at
Union Jack‘s, and mini-golf at courses all
around the area followed by dinner out
as part of annual mini-golf competitions
arranged by champion competitor Chris
Law; breakfasts at Mimi's, and delicious
chili cook-offs arranged by generous
hosts Pat and Rob Foard; happy hours at
various bars arranged by different
volunteers each time; retirement parties
arranged by people who really have been
able to retire; annual dessert nights at
the beautiful home of gracious hosts
Jeannie and Ted Leoutsakos; a terrific
pool party at the resort-like home of Pete
and Kathie Kunz; go-carting with
dinners that follow arranged by my
loving, go-getting husband Scott; dinner
theatre and birthday celebrations
arranged by energetic-enough-to-be-anactress volunteer coordinator Sue
Muller; Thanksgiving and Cinco de Mayo
dinners at Ravens fan supreme Joyce
Wonka's home; Orioles games and
bullpen parties arranged by Bird fan
Karen Lewis; and so many more fun
things, but I am already over my word
limit I suspect! From Sunday to
Saturday, there are activities going on
through CSC, from weekly to annual
events to look forward to! CSC is also an
organization I have enjoyed planning
activities for myself, some of which
included a weekend trip to Harpers Ferry,
magic show in Baltimore, bowling night
with pizza and soda, and murder mystery

P resident‘s C orner
The ski season opens this month in the western U.S. Several mountains are already
open; watch Twitter and Facebook and stay tuned to the resort updates from Ted
―The Moose‖ Dietz.
Our ski trips are more than 80% sold, SIGN UP NOW for a trip. This really becomes
your best last opportunity to get on a ski trip. The October Ski Magazine reader‘s poll
ranks: Whistler 6th, Big Sky 12th, Snowbird 17th, and Mammoth 14th; in the east,
Whiteface and Sunday River are ranked 10th and 11th. If you are wait-listed for a trip
and the list is long, my advice is to sign up for another trip now. Our Ski Trip
Coordinator and Trip Leaders have begun to drop extra spaces on those trips not yet
sold out
Last month we had Lauren Bunney, a fitness instructor, give us tips on how to get in
shape for the upcoming ski season with some ski-specific exercises. For many of us,
that served as a rude awakening on how unprepared we are for the season. Maximize
your ski experience —GET IN SHAPE NOW!
This month‘s meeting features our annual fashion show, sponsored by Princeton
Sports. The fashion show is entertaining and serves as a teaser for CSC Night at
Princeton Sports. Long time CSC supporter, Alan Davis, of Princeton Sports invites
us from 5-7 p.m. Sunday November 17th to this special night at his Columbia store.
The evening will feature specials on ski clothing, skiing and riding gear, discounted
custom boot fitting, ski tuning clinics, and complementary beer, wine and food. Save
the date for this first CSC Night at Princeton Sports; remember ―CSC MEMBERSHIP
HAS ITS PRIVILEGES‖. If you are in the market for equipment, always consult a local
ski shop. While you could buy online and get a better price, you can‘t get the
individualized attention and assistance that a knowledgeable ski shop can give you.
A better price on the wrong piece of equipment is really not a great deal. Consider
bringing your current equipment in for an evaluation by a professional. For those not
in the market for new skis, ask yourself the following: Do my skis need to be tuned?
Are the edges and bases in good shape? When was the last time they were waxed?
Have the bindings release been checked in a few years or since I picked up weight?
If you say ―no‖ or don‘t know the answer to any of these questions, you likely need
some work done on your skis.
Last month I announced a writing contest: ―Why I am a member of the
CSC?‖ (alternatively, ―Why they are members of the CSC‖). This is open for all CSC
members—both skiers and non-skiers. Check for details in this month‘s newsletter;
prizes are Telluride lift tickets or a weekend at Wisp at Deep Creek Lake, Maryland;
the winner gets the first choice of prize.
This month I want to recognize our Web Team led by Marc Chidester. The team is
composed of Marc, Ron Maseda, and Tom Donohue with regular contributions from
Gary Prestianni as well as from Bob McCune and Sherry March for activities. This
year a concerted effort has been made to upgrade our site based upon our marketing
efforts and to keep our web pages current. Our web site gets over 7000 hits a month
and the team has been working to ensure that it is our most accurate and best
source of information about the activities and news of our club. A special thanks to
Marc, the Web Team and all those individuals that participate in maintaining and
enhancing CSC‘s key information source all year long.
Just point them downhill,

As I take pen in hand to write this edition of Moose Tracks …
okay, I confess I am actually using a word processor so I
guess I was just saying that in a literary manner. So if I am
not actually writing with a pen does that mean I am illiterate?
Hmmmm, the things that wander around in my mind when
there is nothing better to think about. But wait! There is
something better to think about; skiing snow out West, ski
resorts opening already, and the forecast for snow in the
Maryland mountains. Now that is something to think about!
Did you know that Arapaho Basin and Loveland are open for skiing with two
trails and a terrain park at the Basin, and six trails at Loveland? This is actually
better than last season. Well over a foot of snow has fallen at these resorts.
Other Western resorts will be open by the middle of November. For those that
wondered if we could really return to skiing in the East, we have done it thanks
to brisk sales by our team of East Coast trip leaders. You just can‘t beat the
affordability of East coast ski trips and it was obviously something we needed
to get back to. Only a few spaces remain on these trips!
You will need something fashionable and warm to wear on your ski trip and
what better way to see all the latest in high tech clothing than to come to our
Fashion Show at our November meeting. There will be music, lights, a talking
moose, and of course, the CSC Super Models.
Our November meeting on the eleventh is Veterans Day; don‘t forget to thank a
veteran for the freedoms that you enjoy.

Why I am a member—cont’d from pg 1
dinner at Greek restaurant Ikaros using Groupon
and Living Social deals.
What is the best part of belonging to
CSC? Having a second family who has been
there in good times and bad. I lost two parents
within a year and some members drove all the
way down to Silver Spring to attend my father's
wake and all the way up to Sykesville to attend
my step-mother's memorial service, and several
members also bought flowers to express their
sympathy, with Eli Conner even shocking us by
generously providing four beautiful floral
arrangements that were used for both the stage at
the service, and tables at the reception that
followed. People at CSC have warm hearts. I feel
lucky to be a part of the group and give thanks to
the many members who for some time kept
suggesting I join. People do others a service
when they get friends to join, and thus I have also
encouraged my friends and my brother to join
and am happy several of them have taken me up
on the suggestion. If you are reading this and
aren't a member yet, join now! Membership is
half price for brand new members for the first
time ever this year, and this might not be
repeated next year!
So in summation, why am I a member of
CSC? Because it's good for me and I hope I am
also helping to bring a bit of sunshine into the
lives of others in the club. I welcome
opportunities to help others smile and if you do,
too, become a member!

Forget the packing list.
What about the Get-In-Shape list ?
It‘s that time of the year to start to think about the upcoming ski season. Resorts out west are counting down
the days ‗til opening, and Facebook has tons of resorts showing the first signs of snowfall in the higher
elevations.
Now reflect back on last ski season and then think back on the first ski trips you went on. How many of you
came to the realization that you needed to get in shape to ski, really? How many days, weeks or months do you
have to spend getting ready to ski out west? For me the experience at Highland Bowl at 11,500 feet and hiking
up an additional 800 feet with my skis strapped to my back and navigating the ridge line as I sucked air was an
eye-opener. Especially as the young, and even not-so-youthful ladies marched by saying ―oh, this is my third
time up today‖. It made me say ―next year I am going to be in better shape for the ski season.‖
To this end, there were a large group of us at the ―Sea Gull Century‖ bike ride on October 5 th. In preparation, I
biked 1,100 miles this summer and did both the ―Bay to Bay‖ 77-mile and ―Bike to See‖ 100-mile rides to
supplement my training. Last year I did the Metric Century ride and was very excited to do the full Century ride
this year. Bruce, Dave, and Tom met me at the start of the race for a photo opportunity and we met up at the rest
stops, while Joan and Tom rode alongside of me throughout the event.
Having biked all summer and completed the Sea Gull Century less than two weeks ago, I thought I was in really
good shape. Well, not really. At this month‘s meeting, Lauren Bunney of Arsenal Fitness did a demonstration of
―Functional Training‖ that simulated your skiing actions. We did 3 sets of 10 repetitions each of squats,
modified push-ups, and lunges that took us, maybe, 10 to 15 minutes in total. Guess what? I hurt more after this
short exercise than after 6 hours and 15 minutes on the Sea Gull Century. The moral here is that you have to do
the exercises that most simulate the physical activity you will do on the mountain as you prepare for the ski
season. That‘s why they call it ―Functional Training‖.
So here‘s my take-away. It‘s not too late to get out, walk, run, do some air squats, lunges, and pushups now.
The dividends are well worth the extra time you will enjoy on the mountain in this sport we all love. Who knows,
your doctor may say, ―hey, what have you done that has gotten your HDL up to goal?‖
Tell a friend to check out our ski schedule. We have some great trips and openings on Whistler, Mammoth,
White Face, Sunday River, Cortina, and Snowbird.
Think Snow,
