President's Message

It’s officially summer…. though it’s been HOT in Central Fl for sometime already! Escape with OSTC to the COOL of Blue Ridge Mts and white water rafting later this month! Space for a few more if you act now!  https://orlandoskiclub.com/page-1848810

Another way to think COOL is to visit Orlando Ski and Travel Club website to select your Ski/Board trip for 2018-19 Season. All trips are posted and accepting sign ups. OSTC sent Trip Leaders to the two upcoming season Florida Ski Council trips (Big Sky & Park City) to coordinate logistical details, both trips promise to be a BLAST! And the FSC Int’l trip to Italy offers a unique all day ski experience, the Sella Ronda.

Come join us for our annual official BIG Trip Kick Off Event to be held at Dubsdread Historic Ballroom, Sunday, July 29th, 3:00-5:00 p.m. We’ll have drawing for Door Prizes (to include gift cards for Peter Glenn, Dubsdread dining, Winter Club Ski private lesson, plus more). We also have several Trip Credit drawings for all persons with a paid deposit for an OSTC 2018-19 trip. https://orlandoskiandtravelclub.com/page-1848870

This is always our most attended event; all the Trip Leaders will be present with Trip Fliers and other promotional materials. Golden opportunity to talk to them about each trip. You will be able to sign up and pay a deposit at the event; however, if you’ve already decided on your trips, best to sign up in advance, Sign-Up table is chaotic.

Speaking of GOLDEN, we will be proudly displaying our FLORIDA GOLD CUP which Orlando beat out all the other Florida Clubs to win in January at Steamboat. First time for Orlando in many years, so come ogle the cup, it’s a beauty!

It was my honor on behalf of OSTC membership to present a donation check to both the Florida School for Deaf and Blind, plus the Veterans Adaptive Sports. Each has a ski program enabling persons with disabilities to experience our beloved sport. Both agencies were most appreciative. Every OSTC trip has a small donation amount built in which we donate annually to these agencies. Thank you for this privilege.

OSTC members had a most enjoyable “Historic Walking Tour of Sanford” in June, 35 of us joined the walk, wrapping up with delicious BBQ at Fuel with jam session in The Alley next door. For July join us for “Paint Nite” at Bucca di Beppo in Maitland.

Since our focus is on the Sunday, July 29th event at Dubsdread, we will forego our social at Ale House for July.

See you on the 29th at Dubsdread!

Historic Sanford Walking Tour, Dinner & Blues Jam

 Recap


We had 35 human and one puppy participant including about 7 first-timers/guests.  Yes it was hot and humid, but we were pretty lucky to hit shady spots thanks to some of the ancient oaks and the occasional clouds and breeze.  We covered about 2 miles of the residential and commercial historic districts that include 24 buildings and 434 homes on the National Register.  We heard stories of Fort Mellon, Mosquito County, the great fire of 1887, and the Miller family's role in funeral parlors and theater.  We made a pack to return to the Masonic Lodge in 2024 to see what is in their time capsule and enjoyed Fuel BBQ and The Alley's libations and blues jam where we learned the fine art of "Sanfording".  Most escaped before a storm hit, but others got to experience a Wizard of Oz moment as a door was blown in by the wind.

Hosted by Jackie Warren - Treasurer





Steamboat Post Trip Party

 Recap


Thanks to all that attended the super fun Steamboat Post Trip Party.  You asked for a house party, you got it.  Special thanks to Jeff, Kimberly, Sandra, Steven and everyone who helped organize this epic event.  The day was steamy, the party was steamy, plenty of great food - good thing we had lots of refreshments and a pool to keep us cool.  We also had a special guest star, the Florida Cup made an appearance for all to see and enjoy.  It was a pleasure leading this trip and having you all on board for Steamboat.
