    The club is continuing our wonderful tradition of going to the ski-in/ski-out Grand Summit Hotel at Sunday River (www.SundayRiver.com). The resort offers the most terrain in the East that spans eight mountain peaks, providing great options for skiers of all ability levels. In addition to downhill skiing, there are myriad cross- country skiing, snowshoeing, and winter hiking options nearby at the Bethel Inn and Carter’s Cross-Country Ski areas. The hotel amenities include Camp restaurant and bar, a large, heated outdoor pool and hot tub for those wanting to soothe their muscles after a day on the slopes, a convenient ski check and small sundries shop.

    Lodging will consist of deluxe suites which comfortably accommodate four people. Each suite consists of a bedroom side with two queen beds, and a kitchenette side with a Murphy bed and sofa bed. Both sides have their own private bathroom. All requests for roommates and room style (bedroom or kitchen side) will be addressed on the online registration form. Final rooming assignments will be provided mid-January 2025. (Note: depending on the distribution of preferences it is possible that a small number of requests kitchen v. bedroom side may not be able to be honored. (That said, last year every member had their preference honored).

    We’ll have a Sunday night reception with flatbread pizza and salad. We’ll offer one group dinner buffet with multiple entrees, side dishes and a lavish dessert. For other meals everyone will have access to the shared kitchen facilities or may wish to visit the various Resort restaurants or visit nearby Bethel.

    We will also have nightly social hours, either in one of the suites or by the fireplace in the lower lobby. And for those so inclined, game nights can be arranged.
