Ski and Ride Thawing Out
After a 15 academic week long suspension, the LSC Ski & Ride Club will soon be back in action.
On March 22nd, The Ski & Ride Clubs sanctions will be lifted and the club will be able to hold events once again. President Sam Pierog and SGA Rep Weston Miller along with club members have high hopes and a lot of ideas for the future.
"The club is excited to be coming back to good standings and we are looking to try and set up something big to finish out the season," said Miller.
According to Pierog, there will be a ski trip for the end of the year although the club is still deciding on where they want to go. Pierog also said that the club is hoping to premier both of the RedBull signature events this month on the 21st and 31st in ASAC 100, pending approval. These events are skiing and snowboarding events both held in the backcountry that contain forms of big mountain and slope style competitions combined.
He also is going to start presenting fundraiser ideas at the up and coming meetings to start saving money for next year although, "all these events depends on the club and cooperation of our members. We need everyone to come to the meetings to be able to coordinate anything successful."
Miller hopes to see sweatshirts and club ski trips. He wants to end the season with a "banger event" of some sort although with the lack of snow and still having to wait for the sanctions to be lifted it will be a hard and last minute event if it can happen.
"Despite the warm temperatures and rain for this season the club has been quite frozen. Last year the club definitely exceeded my expectations. This year has been difficult to just sit through but I'm excited to get back into action once we are unfrozen. I know next year we will start off right where we left off and it will be great to see what the club grow even more," said graphic design major Ashley Phelps, who is also a current member of the Ski & Ride Club.
"It would be great to see the club at its full potential. Meaning, having an all season on campus terrain park, connected with not only SGA but with the Ski Resort Management and Adventure Based Recreation Management majors, and having a bigger impact on not only the college but the community. I definitely think we can get there but we need the support from all of the staff and students at LSC," said Phelps.
Phelps wants the club to participate more with the community to see how far they can extend what they are already doing. The reason she joined the LSC Ski & Ride Club was because "I love snowboarding. I love the lifestyle, I love the eternal creativity, style and progression."
