C H I C a G O N O M a D S S K I C L U B N E W S L E T T Chicago Nomads Ski Club Newsletter January/February 2016 Volume 47, Issue 17 the Prez Sez...Bob - Grouch - Klawitter I hope to be in Minnesota, skiing Lutsen with a lot of you. I'm sure the trip leader will write a complete re- cap of the fun. If you didn't go on this one, you missed out on a great place. The next two months are the best time to ski and play in the snow. I hope you all partake of some winter fun not to mention some partying with us. Our trips were planned with you in mind! As a serious note (Yes, I have a serious side) I would like to ask you to give some thought to events or places (all seasons included) you would like the club to set up for the enjoyment of the members. Maybe a road trip to a weekend away from town or participation in an event for charity. Anything you would like to do with your friends. We're all in this club for the friends, aren't we? The board is going to be considering other activities besides skiing. We need some summertime events. Camping?? Canoeing?? A weekend bike ride?? A few days at a spa?? A walk in the wilderness?? Give this some thought and send us your ideas. Don't worry, we'll not ridicule them. We want to become a more full time club. After all it's really your club and it can be whatever you make of it.

Happy Holidays and have a Great and Snowy New Year!! Rich Clausius Lutsen Trip Leader report Happy New Year, Nomads! Thursday, 20 Nomads and 9 Dunelanders set out for the first trip of this ski season at Lutsen, MN. Yes, it is colder and snowier than our neck of the woods. Everyone has been anticipating the New Year’s Eve party at Papa Charlie’s and today’s club dinner at the Cas- cade Lodge. In fact, there’s plenty of music up here for those who want to listen or dance. The mountain is nearly 2,000 feet high overlooking Lake Superior. And some of the longer runs go about 2 miles. Plus the high speed gondola is the only one in the entire Midwest. Lutsen is 4 times larger than Indianhead, so there is a lot of skiable acreage. We want to welcome our 10 new members along with Duneland, especially Charlie Cleek, who is the group leader for the club. Without them, this trip could not have taken place. When you receive this newsletter, we will still be in Lutsen, probably skiing, socializing, or toasting the New Year. If you come to the January social meeting, you are sure to get a recap of the trip from one of us. Otherwise, you may have to wait until the next newsletter in March. Happy 2016 and see you soon! Wish you were here! Chris Oldanie 4 Boyne Trip Leader report Hello Ski and Snowboard Enthusiasts, Allow me to introduce myself to those who don't know me. I'm Heather Seger and I will be your trip leader to Boyne Highlands, Feb 19th - 21.

    Industrious City of Bessemer • 906-663-4311 1 Why Locate to Bessemer, MI • We’re kind of awesome when it comes to working with businesses. We’ve had over 13 businesses starting in the past 4 years that are still in business so we know how to help you find your feet in Bessemer. • Prior to the pandemic, the City of Bessemer’s unemployment rate is 5.3% while the country’s average was 3.9%. In June of this year our unemployment rate was 5.2%. This means we have workers ready to get working. • The City of Bessemer is Redevelopment Ready Certified which means the State of Michigan acknowledges that we deal quickly and efficiently with developers and businesses. We cut through our bureaucratic tape as much as we can. • The cost of living in Bessemer is considerably lower than the national average. A typical starter house can be purchased for $50,000 to $100,000 meaning wages go further in Bessemer. • The City of Bessemer has available land in their Industrial Park. Our industrial park is a hop, skip and a jump off US-2, a federal trucking route. The road leading from US-2 through our industrial park is a Class A Road which allows for year round, interruption-free shipping to and from the sites. • The Upper Peninsula is the best place to be if you’re worried about climate change. Don’t just take our word for it, take fivethirtyeight.com’s word. We are projected to avoid the increased risks of sea level rise, drought, tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires, and disease-carrying mosquitoes.

There is no lighting on the hill except for a spotlight placed on the top to help the skiers see the contours of the snow.

Hecht, Snowboarding Liability: Past, Present and Future, 15 Marq. Sports L.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. SNOWBOARDING LIABILITY: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE Snowboarding has become a popular sport over the last ten years. The growth in the sport has resulted in injuries and lawsuits because of those injuries. States have been trying to help protect both the sport of snowboarding and the ski resorts by instituting ski safety statutes. Many states have been following the precedents set by ski cases that have already dealt with some of the same issues that are now affecting snowboarding. As this sport continues to grow, and may eventually include a similarly high number of participants as skiing, snowboarding case law will probably continue to follow the path of skiing case law. Eventually, the legal outcomes will be the development of statutes and common law that is consistent for both activities. This note will discuss the legal issues that result from the sport of snowboarding. Part one of the note will introduce snowboarding and the popularity of the sport in the United States. Part two will discuss the current transition from skiing liability to snowboarding liability.
