BIG SKY, MT 2015
March 19-26, 2016
Well it is official, we are going to Big Sky, Montana next year
for The Newark Ski Club 2016 Western Trip and you are invited.
Big Sky is one of the largest, uncrowded ski mountains with 5,800
acres, 300 named runs, 4,350’ vertical, 30 lifts, and is usually described by acres per skier instead of skiers per acre; there is terrain
for any and all abilities. Big Sky provides daily, on-mountain tours geared
towards intermediate skiers which explain all the amenities of the mountain and area. Is skiing not your thing? There are shops, spas, restaurants,
bars, and night clubs to explore in the village just a few hundred yards
away. The resort also offers ziplines, tubing, dog sledding, climbing walls, and even
a giant swing; plus, horseback riding and sleigh rides are also available.
If you really want to explore, there are trips into Yellowstone via snowmobile or Snow Cat.
The trip will be March 19-26, 2016, flying from Columbus and
arriving in Bozeman, Mt. Then we hop on a chartered bus with the
first stop being a grocery/liquor store to pick up the essentials. An hour
or so later, we will arrive in Big Sky to unload at our home away from home: The Big Horn Condos,
featuring three bedroom/three bath units. These condos offer balconies, fireplaces, large closets, and, & washer/driers. They also have access to the
Huntley Lodge swimming pool, hot tubs, and fitness center (if you didn’t get
enough exercise on the mountain). The condos are pseudo-ski in/ski out using a Poma Lift to get you up to the main lifts. Plus, there will be a Welcome
Wine & Cheese Party and hopefully a group dinner during the week.
Now for the nuts & bolts of the trip:
$1675 per person will include air, lodging,
transfers, lift passes for 5 days (of 6), and a great
time with wonderful friends. The optional
ground package will be $976. These prices are
based on 6 people per unit. For those of you who
don't ski & don't want the lift tickets, deduct
$352 from either price; a single supplement will
be an addition of $465. The deposit for this trip
will be $200 and is due at the Sept. 1st meeting. Full payment will be needed by the Dec.
1st Christmas Party.
The Stats on Big Sky
-5,800 acres, 300+ named runs on four mountains

From the OVSC PRESIDENT:
I just got home from the 2015 OVSC Summit, and wow, what a great time I had! I sure
hope all the attendees had a good time, learned
some new things (and there were a lot), saw
some new and exciting ski and travel destinations, and re-connected with friends we have
come to know along the way.
Cincinnati was our host this year, and the
queen city showed herself off in fine fashion,
from golfing, a Segway tour, and underground
historical brewery tour. The superb Hilton Netherland Hotel in all her art deco fineness was a
marvel to see, and the walking tour revealed
some interesting historical secrets and facts
about some of the famous people that stayed
there (think Winston Churchill, President & Mrs.
Kennedy, Bing Crosby, among others).
A huge round of applause to Tom and Suzy
Berning, the Summit coordinators and their committee for the awesome job they did in pulling
off such an event.
A huge thank-you to Dan Hapner, who along
with the host city, oversees that all goes well the
entire weekend, from getting the best deal we
can from the hotel, to the wonderful food selections at the welcome reception, dinner and
breakfast.
My Board members this past year – they all
did a great job. Kudos, kudos, kudos to them all:
Janet Jones, VP, Aggie Waninger, Secretary,
Hew Wells, Treasurer, Dan Hapner, International / Summer Trip Director, Marty Baldwin North
American Trip Director, and Rick Mygrant, Racing Chair. Without you guys, I would have way
too many hats to wear!
Thanks to each and every one of you, the
OVSC members.
SKI ON!!!

TRUMPET IN THE
LAND
An Outdoor Drama performed at the
Schoenbrunn Amphitheatre
in New Philadelphia
Friday, July 31st @ 8:30p
For those who are interested, there are still
rooms available at the Schoenbrunn Inn and
tickets still available for the performance; unfortunately, the GREAT DEAL may not still be
available. But a call to the Inn at 330-3394334 might still get you the great deal (the
Package deal for this trip will be $120 and will
include: a room for two for Friday night, 2
tickets to the performance, and a delightful
breakfast on Saturday morning) by telling
them you are with the Newark Ski Club party.
Again, this is a non-treasury trip, so you will
be making your own reservations & paying
your own way. To top off this lovely weekend
away, we will be visiting 2 local wineries on
Saturday afternoon as part of our meanderings home. This is gonna be an amazing way
to have some local fun while gaining both historical and wine-ical (is that a real word?)
knowledge that will make
you look really cool at parties. Or at least our ski club
meetings!!!

FROM THE ACTIVITIES DESK:
We are always looking for the next great idea.
So, please tell us about Your Dream Trip or Activity! Another Activities Committee Meeting will
be announced soon; keep an eye out for the time
and date. So many great ideas, activities, & trips
have come out of these meetings; and we need
your help to keep that streak going. Please let
the Activities Director or any of the other Board
Members listed on page 5 know of your ideas so
that we can get onto going someplace where we
all can have some FUN!!!!!! ;-}
The Next 3 Happy Hours
The next two Happy Hours will be held
on Saturday evenings to allow everyone
to have a chance to attend without having any work conflicts, and the August
Happy hour has been moved to earlier in
the month. Mark your calendars!!!!
The July Happy Hour will be at the
Buckeye Lake Yacht Club on Saturday, July 18th beginning around 4 pm; feel free
to come by any time after 4 pm for a good
time. The Cranberry Bog Tour has been
officially cancelled due to all the crap
going on out at Buckeye Lake, but we will
continue with the Happy Hour. If the
weather is nice, we’ll hang on the porch,
if it’s crappy, we’ll hang out inside the
club. As this is an officially-sanctioned
NSC event, you know that no matter what,
you’ll have FUN!!
In August, we are going to stay with
the Buckeye Lake theme & return to Papa
Boo’s on Friday, August 7th, meeting up
around 6pm (so, back to our normal time
frame). This earlier date during the
month is because I will be out of the
country for a sennight during the middle
of the month (Canada, here we Come!) &
I refuse to miss 2 of my own events during
the same summer when I’m still living in
town! So, PLEASE, come out & help us keep
Buckeye Lake alive.
For September, as the weather starts to
change on us, we are going to go try out
the newly renovated Trout Club in Newark. Due to our events earlier in the
month, I have changed the date (again?
Why are you always doing that?!?) to Friday, September 25th at around 6 pm. This
will be a new one for me & probably for
most of you, so lets go see what a couple of
million dollars can do!!
& Remember, get Happy, Hour that is ;~}
