The 1996-97 Trips
The 1996-97 trip lineup was announced on April 14th at the conclusion of the annual Texas Ski Council Bid Meeting, and it's a GREAT lineup!
The Planned Trips are:
- Fall Roundup - KEYSTONE, Colorado:
Dates: Nov. 27 - Dec. 1 1996.

Trip Leader: David DeWall, H: 492-2165, B: 225-7236A little about this trip: Best bargain of the ski year by far! Four full days skiing - plus night skiing. We leave for Colorado Springs Airport Tuesday at 2:25 pm, fly non-stop (BOTH ways) and return early Sunday at 1:55 pm - Time to get the kids AND you rested for Monday!
Your price includes an hors d'oeuvre reception Wednesday, a mountain picnic Thursday, and Saturday night dinner. Keystone has snowboarding now, plus snowmobiling, ice skating, plenty of new "hourglass" skis, and a huge factory outlet mall in nearby Dillon.
Keystone is the only resort with snowmaking over 100% of its acres - the only guaranteed snow you will have this year. Only 36 spaces left. Few will remain after the August 20th meeting. Call Now! or practice saying "I should have called sooner!" Final trip deadline is the September 17th meeting.
