Imagine strolling a sandy beach along Lake Michigan hunting Petoskey stones, then exploring resort communities with alluring boutiques and restaurants. Envision golfing stunning courses, visiting wineries, and catching million-dollar sunsets. It’s all here in an area so picturesque, it’s known as a Michigan treasure. Imagine that. OVERVIEW 5 Luxurious spas await to rejuvenate, invigorate and soothe. Treat yourself to a full complement of spa treatments at The Spa at Boyne Highlands in Harbor Springs, The Spa at Boyne Mountain in Boyne Falls, and The Spa at Inn at Bay Harbor in Bay Harbor. This old-time trolley takes you through downtown Petoskey, and beyond. Trolley season is generally June - August, and rides are free. petoskeydowntown.com/trolley OVERVIEW Odawa Casino ~ 1760 Lears Road, Petoskey ~ 877.442.6464 ~ odawacasino.com 50,000 square feet of Vegas-style gaming in the heart of northern Michigan. Take a seat at your favorite table 7 or slot machine and feel the pure excitement and warm hospitality. Three dining options and lounge. EXPLORE CHARMING COMMUNITIES The resort communities that make up the Petoskey Area will captivate you from the moment you first see them. Their lakeside beauty and Victorian architecture set the tone. Unique shops, where you’re often greeted by the owner, will bring a smile. And a relaxed pace presents a welcome relief from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. While they have much in common, each of our communities also has its own distinct personality. We hope you get a chance to visit them all while you’re here. Petoskey is known for its beautiful setting along Little Traverse Bay and its charming Gaslight Shopping District. You’ll also find never-ending recreation. Name an outdoor activity, you’ll find it here. The question is never what to do, it’s what to do next. COMMUNITIES Harbor Springs is a place where time slows down, inviting you to enjoy everything from swimming to dining, shopping to biking. The picture-perfect downtown is great for relaxing and watching boats in the harbor. The famous Tunnel of Trees always delights. 9 Boyne City wraps around Lake Charlevoix - voted second best lake in America by the readers of USA Today. There are no strip malls here. Just a great mix of independently owned shops and restaurants where you’re likely to be personally greeted by the owner. Bay Harbor is a luxury waterfront community which includes an upscale shopping district, the award-winning Bay Harbor Golf Club and an amazing cultural center, the Great Lakes Center for the Arts. These amenities make it a world-class vacation destination. Alanson is nestled on the bank of the Crooked River, a major link in the Inland Waterway of northern Michigan, which stretches all the way to Lake Huron. Take a stroll on the boardwalk along the river, or relax at Sanctuary Island. COMMUNITIES Bay View is a century-old community that takes you back to a simpler, more refined era. It touts nearly 500 Victorian cottages, buildings and inns, and has earned designation as a National Historic Landmark. The Downtown Petoskey Trolley stops here in the summer. 11 SPLASH INTO CLEAR BLUE LAKES Just think how great it would be to stroll along a soft-sand Lake Michigan beach right now. Crystal-blue water, the waves lapping onshore, a gentle breeze. For a change of pace, how about a quiet inland lake? Or a hidden stream? Summer vacation and water fun are made for each other. The Petoskey Area is where it all comes together perfectly. WATER FUN 13 WATER FUN 15 Beaches Tours/Charters/Ferries Jones Landing Park Beach (Covered gazebo and restrooms) Beaver Island Boat Co.

  • Fall 2011.Indd
    Rusty Parka News Vol. 50 Issue 1 www.nspcentral.org Fall 2011 Division Director’s Report Change…..Don’t you just hate it? So, maybe we should go back 10 years ago when times were better. The economy was strong, the country was thought of as a world leader, we weren’t all consumed with electronic com- munication, we even used to talk to our children and neighbors, and on and on. Maybe we would be better if we went 20, 30, 40 years ago. Or perhaps we should go to the 1930’s when the ski industry was just getting started after WWII and many of the 10th Mountain Division members were returning to the US and establishing ski resorts. Sure we could even strap on those ole wooden skis, put on our leather laced boots and get taken off the mountain on an ole corrugated tin roof. Or we could perhaps use those new shaped skis, with air bladder boots and foot beds with our brand new technical clothing that keeps the cold out and disperses the moisture being released after completing a diffi cult bump run at high altitude. Should we Jim Woodrum use the Green American Red Cross Book as our Division Director standard of training or do the pre-cordial thump? Surely we know more today about medical health, Parka Picks more effi cient ski equipment, what medical pro- cedures are more effective than others, etc. etc.. Well you know where this is going! What Would You Do Pg. 4 CD Elections Pg. 5 Change is good and is consistent.

    Rusty Parka News Vol. 50 Issue 2 www.nspcentral.org Winter 2012 Division Director’s Report What does the word “patroller” mean? I’m sure many of you have thought about that and oth- ers may not. I get messages from lots of folks and this one I believe is worth sharing. This comes to me from an area owner and what he feels about his patrol. I won’t share the whole note but just parts that may be of interest to us all: “I want to personally thank all of the patrollers who really pitched in frantically attacking the ice mound on the left ramp so we could even open up and all of the other patrollers who pitched in way beyond the normal call of duty to help clear up icy patches on the hill as we brought our groomer back to the point we could start using the pulverizer and get up to a good condition. Quite honestly between the transmission going out on the large groomer and the near disas- trous snowmaking I was about ready to throw in the towel...at age 71 I just don’t quite Jim Woodrum have the physical or mental stamina I used to…. Division Director My wife and I had conferred and decided if we had to we would use personal funds to pay off the bills Parka Picks and refund the season pass holders and be done with it- not too many of you, if any were aware of this at the moment- Kasten’s Korner Pg.

    Rusty Parka News Vol. 49 Issue 3 www.nspcentral.org Summer 2011 Division Director’s Report Talk about a quick transition from snowfall to summer, this year seems like it flew by. Perhaps that is the sign of getting older or perhaps visiting a large number of resorts, ski patrol events like senior evaluations, region meetings and banquets, and the certified event. Whatever the cause this winter/spring came and went and now we are deep into summer. I hope all of you are ready for the fall because in just a few weeks OEC classes will begin, CPR and OEC refreshers will hit the books, and the new skis/boards and boots will be ordered. Talking about OEC by now most of you should have ordered and received your new OEC 5th edition book. You will need to have that or the electronic version in order to complete your requirements for this year’s OEC refresher. What we can tell you is that all your OEC Instruc- tors/IT’s are already into their preparation for these events and that tells me that ski season is getting close by.
