Where’s Helgard?! Gang members, Tom Je, Elizabeth B, Pete C, Bill L, Bruce W, and Marge C, searching for our fearless leader who was unable to go on this trip after all.

Ten Gang members braved the cold and ice for a week of skiing in Killington, Vermont, and were rewarded with exceptional skiing and warm camaraderie. The week started out bitterly cold and very icy, but got better with each day! We started with a registered group of about thirty participants, but an Omicron outbreak at the resort resulted in quite a few of our hardy regulars opting out. Restaurants were closed, trails limited, shuttle buses cancelled, but we made the best of it with the usual Gang “can do” attitude.
Of the ten who went, two were new members—Karen and Kent Schreiber. We quickly learned Kent is a super-skier and GoPro video enthusiast. So, we were treated to a full four-day filming of our mountain adventures. Karen, a talented and prolific artist, gifted each of us with a beautiful winter scene that she created on individualized cards. Now we know what she was doing back at the Cascades Lodge while we were out tearing up the slopes! And, of course, Tom Jefferson kept us all entertained with nightly Balderdash games by the immense roaring fire in the lodge living room.
What a week, another wonderful trip filled with skiing, laughs and great company.
