I would like to welcome back all CMSC ski clubs and affiliates to another season of skiing, snowboarding and winter sports. For those of you who are not yet members of our council, I hope that you discover a reason or two in this publication to join one of our many ski clubs in the Chicagoland area and surrounding states. Over a half century ago the Chicago Metropolitan Ski Council was formed as a result of the vision of a small group of Chicago-area skiers. It was their dream to create a body to act as an umbrella organization of Chicagoland ski clubs. This organization would provide relevant informa- tion and purchasing power to the Chicagoland skier. CMSC was founded in 1957 with seven ski clubs. Although there is only one club remaining of the original seven, we have grown over the years to 70 clubs. The Chicago Metropolitan Ski Council represents clubs in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, Ohio, Missouri and Nebraska! Each club has its own uniqueness. Some clubs include activities for families and some for adults only. Some clubs focus on racing while others are more involved with local or destination ski trips. Whatever your interests may be, you will find a club to fit your personality and your geographic location. To find a club or to participate in an event, visit us on wwwskicmsc.com or find us on Facebook. THANK YOU TO OUR CMSC and its member clubs host domestic and international ski trips ADVERTISERS and 13 days of races for skiers and boarders, a golf outing, a major league baseball game, Ski Seminar, an annual picnic, and much more.

Conditions were perfect! Seven clubs along with the CMSC Racing Team Tjoined us for a fun-filled weekend. Our theme was a play on words, "Sesame Treats," and the clubs did a fantastic job for the costume contest. We had the "Count" and his numbers from the Chicago Friars, ABSF's Nate was so very charming in his Miss Piggy costume, and Four Winds…wow! Saturday started out with a two-day treasure hunt, along with the racers holding a very popular Radar Race. Along came the ever so popular "Pie Eating Contest"—the treat was the shot you had to drink to finish. We had a nice ride in the sled to a great dinner at the Homestead. Drinks, dancing and "Minute to Win It" followed at the Brule Saloon. We ended the evening with a beautiful torchlight parade from the Brule crew. Sunday brought racers holding a "Super G,” Potato Sac race and the ever so popular Penguin Race followed by a great "Silly Slalom" that I know Jess Polish of Ski Brule had fun setting up! Everyone enjoyed the perfect runs and skied until we had the award ceremonies. The Ultimate Clubs were: 1st Place: Four Winds 2nd Place: ABSF 3rd Place: Chicago Friars. After a great wine and cheese party it was time to get on the bus and head home. Many thanks to Jess and the entire crew at Brule for another fantastic weekend! If that sounds like a fun way to spend the end of the ski season for you, join us this season for Winter Carnival 2014. This time we return to Schuss-Shanty Creek from March 14-16, 2014. This year’s theme will be The 80’s: Fruity Suity is back!

This traditional ski town, located along the Powder Highway, is blessed Iwith up to 37 feet of powder each ski season, which is perhaps why it is considered one of the best ski destinations in North America. First founded as a coal-mining town in the late 1800s, Fernie has encountered some interest- ing characters in its long history, which locals credit for the city’s immense growth, record-setting snowfall and Fernie attracts a wide range of skiers and riders elite ski conditions, not to mention from around the globe. the town’s charismatic community. Indeed, these legends, such as the Ghostrider and Griz, are just some of the things that truly set Fernie apart. Fernie Alpine Resort, located at the base of Elk Valley in British Columbia, is three miles from the town of Fernie and about 40 miles from the U.S.-Canada border. The resort first opened in 1963, but it wasn’t until the late ’90s that it expanded significantly into the sprawling, internationally recognized ski destination it is today. Now the resort is so big that locals like to pick which side they prefer, “old side” or “new side”— referring to the major expansion that took place in the late ’90s. Henry Georgi Photos Skiers take a break outside of Kelsey’s Bar and Grill. 8 ❖ SKI & RIDE CLUB GUIDE 2013/2014 WINTER PREVIEW ❖ www.skicmsc.com Fernie has over 2,500 acres of skiable terrain on 142 named trails and five bowls across a large portion of the Lizard Range, and is serviced by 10 lifts. The runs vary from long, gentle beginner courses to challenging double black diamonds, making Fernie a great place for skiers and boarders of all skill levels.

    SHARE: Join Our Email List June 9, 2021 NASJA Helps You Generate Revenue Only six months to go before the ski season begins anew in North America. That gives each of us an entire summer to plan how we can profit from covering snowsports. That’s been the focus of my tenure since spring 2019 and will continue now that I’m privileged to serve as NASJA president for another two-year term. Take Professional Development seminars, for instance. Zoom isn’t great, but it’s the best we’ve had to work with during the cold, dark winter of Covid. We’ve held seminars on backcountry safety, Covid protocols, pitching media, pitching book ideas, and coming up June 23, 2021, a session on Supercharging Your Social Media. Even during a pandemic, NASJA served up valuable business opportunities for its members. If you get just one great idea or make one valuable contact through your membership, your time will be well-spent. After our Pitching the Media session in February with representatives from Mountain Gazette, Mountain Life Media, NSAA Journal, Ski, Ski Canada, and Skiing History, new member Sarah Kuta, a prolific freelancer from Longmont, Colorado, received four story assignments that paid for her membership several times over. Over lunch recently, she told me, "To me, being successful as a freelancer is all about building relationships. NASJA introduced me to new editors, which is valuable in its own right, but also provided a platform for getting to know them and learning how we might work together. “Our NASJA membership also meant we had something in common, which I think helped foster an immediate sense of trust and confidence in each other." Membership renewal notices will be mailed this summer.

    Case Study Introduction Snowbasin Facility of Sinclair Oil Corp. was interested Snowbasin SmartGen in testing an independent uninterruptible power supply that would continuously deliver facility Remote Power grid electricity and provide an emergency power utilizing its natural gas infrastructure. The system would need to fit in a small space in close proximity to the facility and require limited to no maintenance. Qnergy Solution Due to power outages at the site, SnowBasin was interested in testing a Qnergy SmartGen system as a source of alternative power at their centrally located Earl's Lodge. A 6 kW Remote Power system with additional Power Interface Package, battery enclosure (3000 AH) and inverter was delivered and installed at the Snowbasin resort facility through a 48Vdc architecture. The facility was upgraded to convert natural gas into electricty as a supply to the facility grid. Additional 120Vac 45A electrical outlets were installed for independent emergency electrical supply in case of grid failure. Results Qnergy's SmartGen Remote Power system with additional accessories has been operating since October 2016, with a daily NET power production of greater than 130 kW-hr. The system has operated with 99% operational availablity where temparatures have ranged from 23oC to -22oC and over 421 inches of total snowfall has occurred over the last 6 months (121 inches base snowpack).
