We prefer
everyone to
sign-up via our
on-line web
site, but the
secondary option
is to send a
check for the
appropriate amount (making
checks out to
the "Dartmouth
Club of Vail
Region") to
our Club
Treasurer,
Gerry Huttrer, Box
2425, Frisco,
CO 80443.
Let Gerry know
what you are
sending to him
via ghuttrer@colorado.net
If you have any
questions or
need help of any
kind, please
contact our
super star event
coordinator at
Tuck, Melissa

As in past
years, Vail
Mountain will be
welcoming us
with Dartmouth's
In Town Again!
and the program
is chock-a-block
full of events.
Not all the
events are
yet finalized.
In one
potentially
exciting
additional
activity, we are
working out
details of a
racing
competition on
Vail's Nastar
Course against
some other
College and
University
groups who will
also be partying
at Vail the
same weekend.
As all of you
know by now, I
am not only the
leader of
CarniVAIL, but
also involved
with creating
what we hope
will be an
amazing book on
ski history. We
are still busy
with the wrap-up
details that
must be finished
with in 6-10
days to prepare
for printing Passion
for Skiing
which
will be must
reading for
anyone
interested in
the details of
how Dartmouth
has been the
dominant force
in the
development of
modern skiing.
As an additional
comment on the
book project,
we will be
holding a
reception in the
Hanover on
February 12
(Winter Carnival
Friday, Hanover
Inn, 6:00 to
8:00 p.m.) with
Dartmouth Ski
Team to premier
Passion for
Skiing,
the history of
skiing at
Dartmouth
College. Mike
Gonnerman '65 michael@gonnerman.com
is the event
coordinator.
The Ski Team's
current lead
coach, Cami
Thompson,
numerous other
alumni and the
Hanover Inn
staff
are organizing
the event. This
is a very
appropriate
venue because
the Hanover Inn
has
received frequent
comment in
the book as a
regular
participant in
the history of
skiing, and
is one of the
book's corporate
Underwriters.
The Friday
Cocktail
Party at
CarniVAIL (Feb
26, Sonnenalp
Hotel, 4:30 -
6:00 PM) will
also be an event
at which we will
premier
Passion for
Skiing.
Everyone is
invited to both
gatherings...

this way, we
need
underwriting
support from
those able
to do so.
As with last

but rather
just ask
those with
the
wherewithal
to help out
to send a
check (for
any amount

250, 500,
1000 or

send--- made
