Return to Ski58

Quick Look Report I have been urged to report to the class on the recent class ski trip, named and earning the title of the Mother of All Ski Trips (MOAST), our third annual Class Ski Trip.. Bob and Bonnie Moscatelli, with the able assistance of Herb and Carma Johnson, put together a fun-filled week of skiing, dining, imbibing, sleighing, etc etc in Summit County, CO for some 28 classmates, a bunch of wives, and one son. The only damper on a perfect experience was the illness of some of our stalwarts, namely Jim Tilley and Sally, and George Lawton. We missed them greatly and hope they have recovered by now (I know, some of you are saying that there is no hope for George, but this was a physical ailment). The weather was both wonderful and dreadful. We had 2 warm and sunny days, 1 blizzard, a sunny day of well below freezing temps. Plenty of excuses for sitting in front of the fire if you wanted, and plenty of good snow for skiing if you wanted. Conditions at Keystone were very good and Copper was just about perfect. It's hard to summarize a good time. Everything was great from the welcome party at the Moscatellis' to the farewell dinner. Just superb. I think nothing beats a gathering of classmates (the best folks I know), whatever the setting. The skiing just makes it better. If you are a skier and are not attending the class ski trips, I'm sorry. You are missing something wonderful. We skiers will not be inundating the class net with our messages so much in the future, it's just the euphoria of the last event you're seeing. The way we avoid pestering you with our traffic is through the use of our own ski58 list. If you are a skier and are not on our class ski list, please reply to me and I will put you on. Meanwhile, everyone should read Bill Gillette's proposal for an Austrian ski trip next year and, if interested, reply to Bill. I urged Bill to keep that message short and he did. If you don't understand it, reply to Bill and ask for more detail. He told us in great detail how wonderful the hotel was, the 4-star chef, and so on. It sounds like a first-class trip at reasonable cost. And it will be with your classmates!! Palmer
