President's Message  

By: Kathryn Hardage

 

Happy New Year to all Orlando Ski and Travel Club members and friends! Hope your Holidays were full of good cheer! Our ski trip destinations are looking mighty snowy! Our early pre-holiday trip to Aspen was a HUGE success with a record snow fall to welcome us! The beautifully lit resort really set the mood for Holiday spirit! Plan now to join us for next December’s early season pre-holiday trip!

OSTC’s Holiday Social at Ale House was also quite festive with great comradery amongst our members while also once again generously supporting the Marines Toys for Tots! OSTC members are always so very generous with gifts and cash to help the Marines annually, makes me feel proud, thank you so much!

Our members enjoyed a complimentary beverage sponsored by the Club, enhanced foods, two decadent cakes in a festive atmosphere! Thank you to Peter Glenn, Winter Club Ski and Ale House for their Door Prize donations!

For local events, we had two excellent rendezvous!  First, we had an energetic bike ride on West Orange Trail starting in historic Downtown Winter Garden, followed by another interesting historic tour of the downtown, guided by our own Club Historian! Of course, appropriately for OSTC, we concluded the tour at the Crooked Can Brewery where we recapped the history over a variety of locally brewed beers!

Next, we ushered in Christmas on bicycles after dark with some 300 other bicyclists on a ride thru College Park, singing carols and enjoying festive Christmas lights! It was a BLAST! All the bikes were decked out with Christmas lights and the rider’s outfits were each quite unique! For 2019 I hope OSTC will have 50 riders, we’ll plan a ski theme!

As we slide into ski/board season, I hope everyone has signed up for at least one trip with OSTC! If you missed out and the trip you wanted is full, I encourage you to sign up on the Wait List and/or contact the Trip Leader. Life happens, and cancelations occur so jump on the list NOW! First come, first serve!

Ski Trips

Our January Florida Ski Council Trip to Big Sky will be our opportunity to defend our cherished GOLD CUP, as OSTC was the fastest racers in the Council last year! We’ve got two race clinics scheduled, if you’re on the trip be sure to join us for this invaluable training experience! Let’s make sure to bring the GOLD home again!

Make the commitment for 2019 to be your year to be ACTIVE with your club, both as a participant and a leader! It’s YOUR club, it needs you to be involved! Lifelong friendships are formed here! We have FUN! We’re ACTIVE! Come ski, board, bike ride, learn local history, hike, ride horses, kayak, do elbow curls with us! Perhaps there’s a local event you’ve been anxious to participate with. Let us help you organize & advertise it thru the Club then you can enjoy the pleasure of leading a group to join you for the fun! Contact our VP of Year-Round Activities with your ideas!

FIS ALPINE

SKIING RULES

The FIS rules are comparable to international road traffic regulations. Every skier and snowboarder should be aware of these FIS rules in order to protect yourself and others from potential dangers and to avoid accidents on ski slopes.

1. Respect for others 
A skier or snowboarder must behave in such a way that he does not endanger or prejudice others.

2. Control of speed and skiing or snowboarding
A skier or snowboarder must move in control. He must adapt his speed and manner of skiing or snowboarding to his personal ability and to the prevailing conditions of terrain, snow and weather as well as to the density of traffic.

3. Choice of route
A skier or snowboarder coming from behind must choose his route in such a way that he does not endanger skiers or snowboarders ahead.

4. Overtaking
A skier or snowboarder may overtake another skier or snowboarder above or below and to the right or to the left provided that he leaves enough space for the overtaken skier or snowboarder to make any voluntary or involuntary movement.

5. Entering, starting and moving upwards 
A skier or snowboarder entering a marked run, starting again after stopping or moving upwards on the slopes must look up and down the slopes that he can do so without endangering himself or others.

6. Stopping on the piste 
Unless absolutely necessary, a skier or snowboarder must avoid stopping on the piste in narrow places or where visibility is restricted. After a fall in such a place, a skier or snowboarder must move clear of the piste as soon as possible.

7. Climbing and descending on foot
A skier or snowboarder either climbing or descending on foot must keep to the side of the piste.

8. Respect for signs and markings 
A skier or snowboarder must respect all signs and markings.

9. Assistance 
At accidents, every skier or snowboarder is duty bound to assist.

10. Identification
Every skier or snowboarder and witness, whether a responsible party or not, must exchange names and addresses following an accident.

Remember your

helmet and back-protectors!

NON-SKI EVENTS

WINTER GARDEN

On Saturday, December 8, the Orlando Ski and Travel Club had a holly jolly time in Winter Garden.  Opportunities to join with other members and their guests ranged from a high exertion bike ride on the West Orange Trail, to a historical stroll through downtown, to a quick visit to the amazing farmers market, to the laid-back brews and taste sensations at Crooked Can Brewery and the Plant Street Market.  Regardless of which activities everyone participated in, the real joy came from spending time locally to grow friendships with folks that we ski and travel with.

SKI TRIP

The 2018-2019 Orlando Ski and Travel Club Ski Season started off with a Bang!! Literally Hell’s Belles had a lot to do with that  

Each time I develop a trip for the Orlando Ski and Travel Club I try and come up with something special that maybe hasn’t been done before and this time it was to “Book my Own Band” and they came all the way from Seattle to place some smiles on our faces! This is the 3rd time the early season ski trip has visited wonderful Aspen Colorado and she sure invited us with open arms and LOTs of Snow! Super Skiing, great entertainment and really nice comradery and laughs amongst the group!
