From the
President
There is not a lot new to talk about since my last letter. Time
is flying by. I have been so busy that I have only been skiing
once. It is December 17 as I write this and the mountain
has been open almost a month. Something is really wrong
with this picture. But I will be heading up this weekend and
Christmas weekend. Then heading off to McCall for almost
a week.
My job has been keeping me extremely busy lately and then
of course there is Christmas which I am not ready for. But I
guess it will all come together. I am looking forward to the
Christmas party tomorrow night which will be over by the
time this comes out. There are close to 80 people signed up
and knowing our group I am sure there will be more. Then
we have a break up to BBSC Steelheads hockey night on
January 14. Hope lots of people will join us.
Don’t forget about the Tahoe ski trip the end of January. Six
more people need to sign up in order for this trip to happen.
It’s a great deal and the Tahoe area just keeps getting more
and more snow, so the conditions should be fantastic!
I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas and New Year’s
and you spent it with great friends and loved ones.

And the Winner is…
by Nancy Cenell
If you attended the BBSC spring golf tournament you just
may remember my enthusiasm for being the big winner of the
raffle drawing. I shouted with glee when my ticket was drawn
for the one night stay at the Grove Hotel and dinner voucher
for Emilio’s. I just recently took advantage of my good fortune
and can report that the experience was as grand as anticipated.
Dining at Emilio’s is one of those experiences everyone deserves
every so often. Staying at the Grove just was the icing on the cake.
The whole weekend helped take the sting out of having one of
those decade changing birthdays. Thank you to all who made this
experience possible. The club puts together raffles and drawings at
various events. Maybe you will be the next lucky winner.
Women’s One-Piece
Ski Suits for Sale
I have two ski suits for sale. The first is a woman’s Marker onepiece ski suit in vibrant red. This suit is in beautiful condition.
This suit is fully lined with a light thermoloft lining that makes
it very warm on the coldest days. It has pockets galore on the
outside, top and bottom, shins and on the sleeve. It is a size 10
or medium and is generous. It has two pockets on the inside
chest. The hood hides in the collar, there are heavy duty scuff
guards on the insides of the leg cuffs, heavy duty boot zippers
and gripper elastic around bottom of legs. I have worn these
one- piece Marker suits for twenty years and they are my
favorites. This suit would retail for $400 if you could find one
in a store. $85
The second suit I have for sale is a Helly Hansen very gently
used women’s one-piece ski suit medium, or about a size 10, in
a medium blue color with white trim. Front of suit zips, snaps
and belt buckles at the waist. Has a light layer of thermoloft for
warmth. Two front pockets, one left chest pocket on outside. One
chest pocket on inside-zippered. Zippers underneath armpits for
extra ventilation in warmer weather . Adjustable velcro wrists; hood
folds into collar. This suit is beautiful and in perfect condition. It’s
a proven fact that one piece suits are much warmer than pants
and jackets. See for yourself. This is a great deal! It would retail for
about $400 if you could find one. $75
You could be the owner of these suits tomorrow. Come to the
house and try them on! Call Jane Gabbert 362-3627

Warren Miller Film Festival
by Larry Crockett
Another successful Warren Miller Film Festival is in the can
as they say. The club did a great job gathering volunteers and
helping every thing go well. There were 1670 tickets sold for
the five performances. That was almost 100 more than last year.
The high school racing program helped sell tickets and had some
very quality entries in the short movie making contest, shown
during the first session Friday night. The winners were: first
place - Nick Sneegas, Columbia High School; second place Grant Reeder, Eagle High School; and third place - Jeff Howe,
Borah High School. Everyone really enjoyed the films. Next
year, it’ll be bigger and better. They will make it a true festival.
Thank you all for coming out and supporting the club. This is
the largest fundraising event we do as a club. Some of the funds
go back into the club for activities and some funds are used for
donations back to the mountain. Thanks to all the club volunteers
who helped out as well.
Holiday Party 2010
The last party of 2010 was a total blast with good food, plenty
to drink, and a band that got everyone up and dancing. JR and
The Stingrays played music from the 50s and 60s and brought
back a lot of memories for most of us.
Thanks to Barbara Brown, Fred Uranga, Herb Malady, Paul
Markowitz and Clyde McNeil for their help setting up. Also, to
Hazel Haynes for her help with the raffle baskets, Pam Averett
and Natalie Angell at the greet table, Kim Hovren for biscotti
for the raffle baskets and Bob Running for selling raffle tickets.
Thanks to everyone I might have missed, who helped bartend
and cleanup at the end of the evening. The facility was perfect for
our party and the decorations were already there. We certainly
had enough room and the dance floor was full all evening.
Thank you everyone for a good job with RSVP’ing. It helped
make the night a success.
Happy New Year to everyone. The next event will be the Crab
Crack in February, so plan to attend.

Bogus Basin’s School Race Program and the
Dotty Clark Championship Races
by Fred Uranga, Club Historian
Did you know that BBSC supports this program? At the
March 2010 Board of Directors meeting, we voted to support
the program with $2000. Barbara Spingla, a DC advisor, sits
on our board.
The DC program is named after Dotty Clark, daughter of
the late Senator D. Worth Clark. She attended Boise High
School, was a successful junior race at Bogus Basin, helped
to organize the “Davos Dusters,” and loved to ski in the giant
slalom. Dotty was attending Stanford University when she was

discontinue sponsorship. Not wanting to drop the program,
Bogus Basin picked up sponsorship in 2006.
Bogus Basin Resort has provided support to the Bogus Basin’s
School Race Program (in various formats) and the Dotty
Clark Championship races for about 51 years. That includes
race courses, advertisement, participation in fundraising, the
on-mountain insurance and the coaches resort passes. Ray
Wilmot is the School Race Coordinator for the junior high and
high school race program at Bogus. He has been involved with
the race program for nearly 40 years. What started as a friendly
competition in 1960 between Boise and Borah High Schools
with 37 racers grew to include 30 high schools, 32 junior high
schools, and over 1600 participants by 1980. Now the Bogus
Basin race program includes 66 schools, 1,800 students and
125 advisors. You’ll find them on the mountain on Thursdays
and Saturdays. The program culminates with the Dotty Clark
Championships, now in it’s 52nd year.
Entrance to the Dotty Clark is predicated on attendance at
three other races, not winning times. Race days near Simplot
Lodge find crowds of parents who do not ski thronging the
slopes to see their children compete.

Dressing for Comfort
on the Slopes
by Greenwood’s Ski Haus
As you plan your trip to the slopes, consider how to dress
for comfort regardless of the weather. Layering is essential
for downhill skiing, cross country skiing, snowboarding
or any outdoor winter activity. Layering means wearing
several independent pieces of clothing to trap warm air
between the layers and topping it with a layer that will
repel wind and weather. Each layering component can be
fine-tuned for comfort and weather conditions. Layering
is easy to do successfully if you remember a few simple
ground rules.
ratio and are very comfortable to wear. Remember that
down must be kept dry to provide insulating properties.
The final piece is the outer layer or protective shell. This
very important layer protects you from rain, snow, wind or
anything else Mother Nature may throw your way. Even a
light shell may work well but it needs to be roomy enough
to accommodate your other layers, be comfortable, and
still allow good range of motion. In most cases, you want
your outer layer to be breathable, allowing the heat and
resulting moisture vapor that you exert during exercise to
Start with the Base Layer, the foundation piece that sits escape. Many jackets incorporate “pit zips” or core venting
against the skin. This layer should be made of a synthetic which allow mechanical venting if you overheat or the
fiber, wool or silk-never cotton! An
effective base layer will wick moisture
away from the skin, and will dry quickly
keeping you dry and comfortable. Base
layers are offered in many different
weights, depending on the activity or
temperature.

The second layer is the insulation
layer, the warming component of your layering system.
Fleece is a good insulator because it is quick drying and
can transport moisture away from your body. Wool is also
an excellent insulator and retains its insulating capabilities
even when wet. Synthetic and down fill mid-layers are
efficient insulators because of their warmth to weight

By putting together the ideal layering system, you will be
warm, comfortable and have a great time throughout your
day on the slopes.
