The North Central Region Congratulations to Norris Woody (2nd term), Morgan Central Division Armstrong, Tom Sherry, and David Walker all (1st Trained through the NSP term) for election to the National Board. Unfortunately and none of our central division patrollers were elected. Thanks to all who voted in the National election. We serving the Skiing and would like to see a larger voter turnout for the division Boarding Public via our Les Robinson next fall, that would give us a bigger voice from the Local Region Director Central Division. Hills, Trails and Resorts This year we also will be having election for section chief for section III.

Also look up the election rules etc. in the P&P Inside this issue: at http://www.nspcentral.org/docs/bookshelf/policyandprocedure-rev9_30_13.pdf Use this link for election information. Here is the whole region realignment: P 2 Tim’s Traverse -The North Central Board of Directors passed a resolution to realign the region to three sections beginning July 1, 2014. The move is designed to redistribute section Kasten’s Korner P 3 population more equitably so each section has between 190 and 230 patrollers each, rather than ranging from slightly more than 100 to well over 200 in the current Section Reports P 4 four section alignment. New sections will be as follows. Number of patrollers is as of 2012-2013 registration. Nordic Notes P 7 Section 1 (Mt. Ashwabay, 22 patrollers; Big Powderhorn, 29 patrollers; Blackjack, Spring Meeting Schedule P 8 13 patrollers; Indianhead Mountain, 93 patrollers; Porcupine, 14 patrollers; Minoc- qua Winter Park, 10 patrollers; Camp 10, 15 patrollers) Spring Banquet Registration P 9 Section 2 (Mt.

Also if you wanting to have an toboggan enhancement seminar give our toboggan guy a call so he can help you plan it and get an IT to visit it. We do have many other events at the region level please look them up at the division calendar http://www.nsp- central.org/calendar.php One thing I’d like to remind all patrollers is that we are to the point of the year that the awards are nearing comple- tion to be turned in, please make sure you find patrollers to write up for awards they are all around you and what better way to recognize someone that, with an award. Tim’s Traverse By Tim Zimmerman, editor Practically Social “You living under the radar?” Such was my recent greeting as I arrived for my ski patrol shift. “Doing my best while living the dream.” Living the dream has become a standard response for me lately. Being asked whether you are living under the radar begs the question whether or not radar has made detection. For the most part I live off the Internet social grid. My real life obligations require I maintain a membership on Linked In. Beyond this, however, my social life tends to be conducted face to face with an occasional phone call or text to add flavor. Techno-phobia is not the root cause of my near non-electronic existence. I very much enjoy technological innovation. It is tough to argue one would rather carry a patient from top of ski run to patrol room in an old wooden toboggan rather than a modern, fully equipped sled. In the same way I prefer to do research via the Internet rather than search volumes of written material. On this point however I must make a confession. I still prefer the feel of a book in my hands when I read for pleasure or to relax. In the same way, when I proof read materials I find I am much more successful when I print out a hard copy and mark it up in red ink. Perhaps there is a bit of old school lurking under the radar within me. The other day a fellow patroller from another region made a concerted effort to get me to join Facebook. “It will make it easier for us to share information with you Tim,” she said, as we made arrangements for photos to be sent to me via e-mail. “And, you can share your adventures with us. It will be fun.” At times I suppose I am at a disadvantage due to my lack of electronic social stimulation. Earlier this ski season I Page 3 Powder Lines Winter 2014 was relating some news about my local patrol to a patroller friend from another area. “I learned about it on Face- book, but it is fun hearing it from you,” was the response. I am wise enough to know the comment was offered at least partially to make me feel good, so I allowed it to. Sharing adventures in real time, face to face, is how I am going to live the dream. Some may view the statement as curmudgeonly others may see it as noble. For me it is neither. It is a matter of practicality. My real life business investors prefer my social antics stay under the radar. I defer to their wisdom. They might be shocked to see my pirate tattoo plastered about the Internet and tagged to me. The artwork has been known to make social appearances from time to time. Those are best enjoyed face to face. Ahoy!

Tim Hines brings ski hill management experience and was a previous member of the National Ski Patrol from Bessemer, Michigan. Activities at the Ashwabay area include cross coun- try races, summit cross country races, NASTAR races, and high school races. One hundred per cent of the hill is open. O.E.C. classes will be a part of their spring program. Blackjack Ski Resort Blackjack this season has remodeled the second bar in the upper level and completed the new fireplace. The "Summit" patrol shed at the top of lift 'A' is up-and-running. The new groomer is making the corduroy slopes great to ski. A practice helicopter landing will be January 25th. Blackjack is having a patrol weekend with Nordic Mountain, Little Switzerland, and Blackjack Patrols. We will be doing a NASTAR challenge, Yooper relay, and a scavenger hunt. Now that the cold weather has broken, Apres (Patrol Dog) is back on the slopes. The new entry way enclosures are complete and keeping the building nice and warm. The bungee jump has been refitted for customer enjoyment. The Ski Patrol will be holding a fundraiser cook out on March 8th. The Pro Shop and downstairs cafeteria both have a new look. The Ski Patrol is doing/did a food fest for the lift operators where the Patrol members bring hot food and treats for the lift operators enjoyment. We bump chair while they have a great lunch. One hundred per cent of the hill open, plenty of snow, and all lifts are operating with excellent conditions. Hill activities include a Boy Scout Program, Three Day Races (Jan. 31st - Feb. 2nd), and race clinics. New candidate training is in progress. Porcupine Mountains The Porkies is back in operation with one hundred per cent lifts open, new management, and three new beauti- ful fireplaces to warm the skiers. The Porkies is open Friday thru Monday, offering tree skiing, groomed trails, moguls, and teleskiing. Jerry Linn is the Patrol Director and doing well health-wise. Big Powderhorn Mountain As we approach mid-season at Big Powderhorn, Ski Patrollers are having an active season. Patroller cover- age, based on the early season attendance, looks to be a continuation of the record-setting 2012-13 season. The holiday weeks were busy as expected, but thankfully, relatively uneventful as injuries go. The BMP Patrol welcomes two new patrollers in 2014, Carol Heitman and Amie Roberson, and we are actively looking for new candidates for the 2014-15 season.

Box 10422, Green Bay, WI 54307-0422 Life on Adam's Street Hello and welcome to another page-turning edition of the Gelandesprung Gazette, your monthly newsletter. We are happy to have you and glad that you have come back around for another update. If that’s why you’re here, then definitely read on as I have some important news to share here in this section. The Board and I were extremely pleased with the turnout at our social gathering October 2 at The Woods. We have been blown away by the fact that we already have 63 registrations for our Big Sky Trip as well! You have demonstrated to us that you definitely want to gather and ski again. It is our intention to do that, to the best of our ability, keeping member safety in mind. Covid is putting a damper on our excitement and bringing us back to reality. Regardless of your viewpoints, the news says it every day, the numbers continue to rise and we are in a hot spot of the country. It was our initial hope to have in-person General Membership meetings this season. With statistics being what they are, it was a unanimous approval to make this season’s General Membership meetings virtual recordings. We will not gather in-person for meetings at all this ski season, up to, and possibly including, the Spring Banquet. Instead, watch your email for a video of what would have been presented at the normal General Membership meetings.
