February 2010 Message

Two pictures this month, one of myself on skis being towed by "Wells Fargoian" Inspector Geise and the other of the late Jim Mersereau, Operations Manager of Cranmore Mtn, who passed away in December. Jim attended many of our LMS Seminars and was extremely enthusiastic about them. Our Committee has decided to dedicate LMS-2010 to Jim's Memory. I have had the 2009 Program removed from the website and the new one for 2010 will be up in March. Our program is full-- Both Doppelmayr and Leitner Poma are doing multiple classes. Priinoth three, Sid Roslund and Neville Sachs two apiece and Chris Stoddard, who heads up the Midwest Seminars, is coming to LMS to teach two classes. My task now is to set all of these classes into the scheduled three days. It will require some juggling, but we will do the best we can. The first of two mailings will go out around the first of March and will include entry blanks for the Fishing and Archery. We have been talking with people about the possibility of a "Jewels from the Bone-yard" contest for snow guns-- we haven't had' one for about 15 years. Start your planning now to attend LMS & watch this website!
