8 Introduction

THE METROPOLITAN NEW YORK SKI COUNCIL is a non-profit organiza- tion dedicated to the sport of skiing which embodies recreational skiing - Alpine and Nordic -and amateur ski competition, in the form of intra-club and inter-club races. Our interclub race, held continuously since 1936, this our 81th anniversary year, one of the oldest Alpine races.

The Met Council’s ski clubs with a total membership close to 8,000 reflect all interests. Some recall our backgrounds, for example, the Norsemen, Swedish and German Ski Clubs; some our workplaces like Grumman or LILCO; others residence locations like New York, Suffolk and Garden City; and even National history - the Tenth Mountain Division. The Council is a forum for local, national and international skiing concerns. It organizes special events and presentations, develops programs, listens to gripes and praises, all part of the friendly and invig- orating sport of skiing. Its efforts are very important in helping support the U.S. Olympic Team, the Ski Hall of Fame and working with the U.S. Ski Association and the National Ski Patrol System. “Special effort is continuing to work with the United Ski Industries Association, the new name for the merged National Ski Areas Association with the Ski Industries of America and now known as USIA, located at 8377-B Greensboro Drive, McLean, Virginia, 22102; re promotions geared toward safety in skiing programs and the new skier campaign”.

American Skiing was born more than 100 years ago with the Nansen Ski Club of Berlin, N.H. and Norwegian settlers of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan. After the turn of the century, the National Ski Association was formed, followed by its first division, The Eastern Amateur Ski Association chartered at Saranac Lake, N.Y. in 1922. When the Federation International de Ski (FIS) was formed (Chamonix, 1924) the National Organization joined them.

Due to the distance between New York City and these organizations the regional Met Council was begun here in 1934. Since then Eastern has dissolved and USSA has moved to Park City, Utah, making the Met Council an even more important forum for Eastern Skiing.

Founders of the Met Council were an important factor in leading the U.S. ski movement, and witness Roland Palmedo, who played a great part in the original development in Stowe, later starting his own ski area - Mad River Glen. He was instrumental in the early stages of the National Ski Patrol, carrying the number 2. About this time the Metropolitan New York Ski Patrol was formed with Ken Littlefield as chairman. The Patrol newspaper ‘Trail Sweep” was started by Ken Littlefield and later carried on by Tom Ludwig, also a council member. Another council member, John Clair, Jr., served for 25 years as Regional Chairman of the Metropolitan New York Region Ski Patrol.

Although fewer than ten percent of our membership actively compete, we enjoy and support competition.

Over the years this council has been host to American and Foreign ski teams and VIP’s visiting the United States largely because of it’s location and because of the efforts of the late John Clair, Jr. 9 Metropolitan New York Ski Council Harry Walter Voege Memorial Scholarship

10 Letter from Chairman Hello again and welcome to the 2016/2017 Metropolitan New York Ski Council (MNYSC) Guidebook. We are looking forward to an exciting season of skiing, boarding, movie premiers, shows and any other social events that will get us stoked for the upcoming season. First I would like to thank the advertisers in the guidebook. I would not be able to pub- lish this guidebook without their generosity and support. Please support the Resorts, Mountains, Lodges, and Suppliers. Let them know you saw their ad in this guidebook. The Metropolitan New York Ski Council has been in existence for over 80 years. We have over 45 clubs. More are joining every season. Check out the club information in the guide- book, we have clubs for everyone. The main advantage for joining a club is the FUN you will have, being able to make new friends, ski or board with others who have the same abil- ities as you yourself. Also the discounts offered with being a member of a club. The MNYSC offers discounted lift tickets to multiple mountains in the Northeast. You will also see discounted Council days in the guidebook. You will need to be a club member to take advantage of these offers. The Metropolitan New York Ski Council represents skiers and boarders from New York City, Westchester, Long Island, New Jersey and Southern Connecticut. The MNYSC is a proud member of the National Ski Council Federation. The Federation represents Councils throughout the United States. Their mission is to strengthen Councils, with industry partic- ipation, so they can better serve member clubs through communication, benefits, education and to influence issues relevant to snow sports.

The Metropolitan New York Ski Council is a not-for-profit organization run by volun- teers. We have a passion for the sport. We are always looking for people to volunteer and help out. The Council trip last season was to Mt. bachelor, Oregon. A great time was had by all. This season the Council will be going to Big Sky, Montana. The annual race will be held at Pico Mountain, Saturday January 21, 2017. Last season we raised over $5,000 during our after race party that went to various charities and organi- zations that help support and promote the snowsports. The Metropolitan New York Ski Council also offers a $500 scholarship to high school seniors looking to attend college and college students already enrolled. It is the Harry Walter Voege Memorial Scholarship. The information may be found in the guidebook or on our website www.METNYSKI.org. I hope you have a great season on the slopes. If you don’t belong to a club, what are you waiting for and join one. If you already belong to a club, then get your friends, coworkers and family members to join one. Tell them about the great benefits of club membership. This season I will take up snowboarding. I would like to thank John & Matt from Launch Snowboards for helping me get started. Hope to see you on the slopes, but if you see me, give me lots of space.

The National Ski Council Federation annual meetings provide maximum interaction between ski council delegates and representatives of ski resorts, tour operators and other industry organi- zations. Industry representatives are an integral part of the agenda and discussions. Participants discussed a variety of topics that included travel insurance, improving websites, post trip surveys, electronic payments, marketing trips, lodging, air transportation, marketing to new members, and club and council leadership and volunteers. The interactive sessions provided attendees with valuable ideas to take back to their clubs and councils. NSCF is grateful to Vail Resorts and The Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel for hosting the meeting. Delegates were treated to an afternoon at Heavenly Resort to see and enjoy their new summer adventure complex, Epic Discovery. Additional sponsors were the Hard Rock Casino Hotel, Hard Rock Café, Straw Hat Pizza, and Harvey’s & Harrah’s Casino Hotels.

26 Spotlight on Local Industry, Launch Snowboards

I recently sat down and had a conversation with Jon Callahan, Founder of Launch Snowboards. Q. Tel l me about your background as a pro snowboarder. A. I started off like a lot of snowboarders; I got discovered by a rep at my local moun- tain. From there I worked my way up as a rep rider to eventually being a pro. While being pro, I did the typical things you have to do, competing in contests like the Grand Prix, doing magazine shoots and filming. I was also involved in product development. I was fortunate enough to work on new outerwear lines, developing new boards, bindings and boots. Also had the opportunity to help with the marketing campaigns and was involved on the advertising cam- paigns as well. Q. Wh at made you decide to start a snowboard brand? A. I’ve seen a lot happen in the industry. I saw my sponsors get bought by other brands and par- ent companies get whatever brands they can acquire. With that came a lot of change with those companies and the culture/roots of the brand change, along with the product quality. So basical- ly I was frustrated and wanted to see premium performance products for today’s riders. Snowboarding is fun and constantly progressing so I wanted to take all the ideas and tech that had been ignored by my sponsors and apply to Launch. Q. Ho w do you come up with the ideas for graphics and designs? A. We have great designers on our team to create the graphics. I spend a lot of time looking at what is happening in society and looking for things or creating things that no one has seen before. A lot of our graphics have themes, so if you look at boards like the Session, and Hitmakers, and the ECOs you can see a storyline. Probably the strongest storyline is the Session and we have customers who buy new decks year after year to have that story board. It’s pretty cool and we love our extended family who are loyal customers year after year. Q. Wh at other products does Launch Have? A. Besides our award winning line of boards, we also have our own exclusive bindings that are an easy entry/exit technology that is patented by Launch. Retailers have been doing really well with both product lines and we have gained interest from resorts and retail accounts in moun- tain areas that have large demo centers. So we will be introducing our new rental/demo program this November and you will see that in various locations around the U.S. next fall. Plus we will be introducing a lot of new innovations on our hard goods and a few new product lines in the apparel space on the street and technical side. Q. Wh at is the best advice you could give somebody considering starting a business? A. Starting a business is super hard. First advice is to pick something you are passionate about and work in that arena. Once you find an opportunity to create a business and start creating jobs, then you must surround yourself with the right people. What I mean by that, is to get advisors mentors that are more successful than you and are experienced in areas you need assis- tance, plus they will have a wealth of knowledge that will be worth more than anything in your arsenal. Successful individuals in business are always looking to help others like themselves, so don’t be afraid to approach them. At the end of the day, they want to see more successful people like themselves adding to society and having fun. Q. Why did you set up Launch in New Jersey? A. I grew up in New Jersey but I was lucky enough to travel the world with snowboarding. Even though for some strange reason, some rumors say I am from Southern California and started the company there. I honestly just wanted to bring the Action Sports industry to the East Coast with a presence right outside New York City. So many brands are setting up showrooms in New York City and I just knew being in New Jersey was the right thing to do.

31 THE METROPOLITAN NEW YORK SKI COUNCIL HISTORY

The Metropolitan New York Ski Council had its inception as the Central Ski Committee in 1934. Representatives from 6 clubs met for the purpose of finding a way to bring skiing information to New York and to blaze the trails for the adventuresome to escape to the Winter Wonderland. Drawn together by mutual interests, they worked in close harmony with the press and the Northland in an endeavor to evolve a uniform method of snow reporting. The Council found and developed its own area at Norfolk, Connecticut, got ski trains to run there, and promoted weekend snow trains to the Catskills, Vermont, and the Laurentians. It got snow reports into the New York SUN, established a practice slope in Phoenicia, conducted interclub races which have been run ever since 1935, gave free instruc- tion in Central Park, infected thousands of city dwellers with the ski bug by sponsoring movies, and helping promote the first winter sports show in New York City. This Council formed the Metropolitan Ski Patrol shortly after the NSPS was started. Ken Littlefield put out a bulletin, TRAIL SWEEP, which has become the National Ski Patrol's house organ. Over the years this council has been host to foreign ski teams visiting the United States, largely because of its location and because of the efforts of the late John J. Clair Jr. It has also been a leader of the revival of ski touring. The following is a highlight of events throughout the years: November 1940 - The Metropolitan New York Ski Council met with ski writers. The meet- ing was devoted to an exchange of ideas between the members of the council and the press. Means of facilitating snow reports were also discussed. November 1940 - The Amateur Ski Club, member of the Council, sponsored a meeting to award Minot Dole, Chairman of the National Ski Patrol, with the United States Eastern Amateur Ski Associations Safety Trophy. November 1943 - The Swedish Ski Club, one of the most active ski clubs of the east, con- tributed 17 members to the United States Ski Troops. December 1947 - The Amateur Ski Club hosted the United States Olympic Ski Team before they were sent off to the Fifth Winter Games at St. Moritz, Switzerland. November 1949 - The Metropolitan New York Ski Council was designated by the National Ski Association of America to serve as the official reception committee to welcome all foreign skiers for the world championships to be held at Lake Placid, New York and Aspen, Colorado this winter. At this time the Council had 28 clubs and 7500 members. October 1950 - The Metropolitan New York Ski Council had 30 clubs and close to 10,000 members. January 1952 - The Metropolitan New York Ski Council hosted the United States Olympic Nordic Ski Squad before they departed to Oslo, Norway for the Sixth Winter Games. 1957 - The Metropolitan New York Ski Council's Ski Development Committee worked with New York State with forming new ski areas in the State. Past members of the council who had an influence in the ski community: John J. Clair Jr. - The Chairman of the 1956 United States Olympic Ski Games Committee. John has also held key positions with the National Ski Association of America, National Ski Patrol System and The United States Eastern Amateur Ski Association. In October 1956, John was named winner of the American Ski Trophy, because of his many contributions to the sport. In May 1970, John was inducted into the Ski Hall of Fame. Roland Palmedo - The founder of Mad River Glen which opened in 1948. He was also an author of many books on skiing and developed one of the most extensive ski libraries in America. Roland was also a founding member of the National Ski Patrol. Harry Voege - President of the New York State Winter Sports Council, Vice President and Director of the United States Eastern Amateur Ski Association and he founded The Metropolitan Ski Jumping Committee. He was instrumental in forming ski clubs throughout the Metropolitan New York City area. Harry was also Director of the National Ski Association. From the 1930's until his death, Harry was an advocate of eastern U.S. Skiing. of the founding fathers in promoting winter sports in the Metropolitan New York City area.
