President's Message
I hope this message finds you well as we move into February. This is one of my favorite months as I get to strap on the skis and snowshoes. I enjoy both hobbies because it allows me to be outdoors in winter to explore scenic landscapes and to get exercise but, most of all, afterward, I can head indoors and enjoy some après ski/snowshoe time!
