Over the years the club expanded
outside of GM and moved away from a singles club. Weekend trips
continues throughout the 70's. In 1975 the
club took its first
week-long trip Banff in western Canada. From that time on the
club took an annual week-long western trip to a major resort.
The trips in the 70's included Steamboat Springs, Aspen & Vail.
During the 80's membership was
as high as 200 skiers. The weekend trips were to Traverse City,
Indianhead, Blue Mountain and Holiday Valley. The week-long
trips included Breckenridge, Banff, Whistler, Vail, Jackson
Hole, Steamboat Springs, Sun Valley, Snowmass, Park City and
Lake Tahoe.
In the 90's the club continued
weekend trips in Michigan and Ontario. We also traveled to
western US and Canada. Trips included Telludride, Steamboat
Springs, Lake Louise, Snowmass, Crested Bute, Jackson Hole and
Whistler-Blackcomb
The
new millennium started with a trip to Big Sky, Montana where we
skied in the sunshine. In 2001 the club made its first trip to
anew ski area in Western Canada called Sun Peaks. In 2002 we
returned to Telludride. In 2003 we
returned to Sun Valley Idaho. In
2004 we went to Northstar in North Lake Tahoe. In 2005 we
returned to Park City Utah where we skied on the 2002 Olympic
sites. 2006 found us back to Colorado to ski the four
mountains of Snowmass, Buttermilk, Aspen and Aspen Highlands.
The 06-07 season promises to be another successful year, with a
planned trip to
Breckenridge, CO.
The
Tech Center Ski Club was established in 1957 by a group of
single skiers at the GM Tech center in Michigan. The club took
it's first trip together in 1959 to Northern Michigan Caberfae
ski area. The club ventured out of Michigan in 1962 to
Collingwood Ontario for a weekend. Various non-ski social
events brought the group together during the off-ski season.
