Board Member Corner

Travelers and Friends,

Ski Season is well under way and our first several trips were a great success. Our December Vail trip had plenty of snow this year and Banff over the holidays was gorgeous. We have a trip going every week until April and we are looking forward to another AMAZING ski season! TBSS&B's mission is to make sure our members are provided a variety of quality trips to first class destinations with a minimum of 3 star accommodations while adding value through the use of aggressive purchasing strategies. We also offer discounted lift tickets and rentals to our travelers!

Our January event at the Hofbräuhaus was a HUGE success - over 150 attended! THANK YOU for making TBSS&B the best ski club around! Not only do you get to ski with others who share the same passion but even better you can make friends for life.

We are starting to think about the 2019-2020 ski season and plan more awesome trips. Do you have an idea of someplace you would like to go? In the recent email Newsletter, "The Sitzmark" a survey was sent to our members, so if you have not already completed please take the time to do so. If you need the link just drop me an email to kjvzm@yahoo.com.

If you are not getting "The Sitzmark" please click on the link on the home page to sign up for it. We typically only send an email once a month (twice at the most) so your in box won't get flooded with emails from the club.

Think Snow!!
