1 President’s Report – Warren Ripple Hope you all got to connect with family this past Thanksgiving and eat your fill of turkey and pumpkin pie. The holiday season is nearly upon us as we enter the last month of 2016. Once again, I find myself asking, “Where did the year go?” This year—2016—marks the 50 th Anniversary of the founding of the Goodyear Ski Club. In 2016, we had some great times skiing, enjoyed our social events during the summer and fall, and this month we will have our annual Holiday Party to reminisce with friends and discuss 2017 skiing plans. The Holiday Party will be held on Tuesday, December 13 at the Houston Hall, located at the rear of the Houston Pub, in Norton. GSC will provide the main dishes, and we ask that members bring something to share, such as a side dish or dessert. We will have a holiday raffle; Vicki Pavell and Rita Tinker have volunteered to assist with raffle ticket sales at the party. Jim Armington of Buckeye Sports generously donated a set of skis, which will serve as first prize in the raffle. There are some very nice prizes making up the top ten. We have also received several lift tickets and lodging passes which will be raffled off after the items listed on the raffle tickets. The following raffle items are printed on the tickets: 1) Pair of skis – donated by Buckeye Sports; 2) $100 cash; 3) $75 Sheetz card; 4) Four Boston Mills snow tubing vouchers – donated by BMBW; 5) $50 gift card to Buckeye Sports; 6) $25 restaurant gift card; 7) 25 Ohio Lottery tickets; 8) 25 Ohio Lottery tickets; 9) Fifth of premium spirits; 10) Helly Hansen duffle bag. So, have you finalized your 2017 ski plans? It’s been a long wait since Judy and I wrapped up our 2016 skiing, and we are looking forward to our first trip of 2017 with Betty Wise to Seven Springs. Although the Lake Placid trip was cancelled at our November business meeting, there are a number of skiing options still open to you. The remaining trips: Seven Springs day trip, Holiday Valley overnight trip, Sun Peaks week trip and Crested Butte week trip have openings or wait lists for your consideration. Please see more detailed trip information in this newsletter. Time remaining to make trip plans is running out, as travel agents, resorts, and transportation all have requirements to finalize the number of trip seats. Think Snow!

President’s Report – Warren Ripple
Hope you all got to connect with family this past Thanksgiving and
eat your fill of turkey and pumpkin pie. The holiday season is nearly
upon us as we enter the last month of 2016. Once again, I find
myself asking, “Where did the year go?” This year—2016—marks the
50th Anniversary of the founding of the Goodyear Ski Club. In 2016,
we had some great times skiing, enjoyed our social events during the
summer and fall, and this month we will have our annual Holiday
Party to reminisce with friends and discuss 2017 skiing plans.
The Holiday Party will be held on Tuesday, December 13 at the
Houston Hall, located at the rear of the Houston Pub, in Norton. GSC
will provide the main dishes, and we ask that members bring
something to share, such as a side dish or dessert. We will have a
holiday raffle; Vicki Pavell and Rita Tinker have volunteered to assist
with raffle ticket sales at the party. Jim Armington of Buckeye Sports
generously donated a set of skis, which will serve as first prize in the
raffle. There are some very nice prizes making up the top ten. We
have also received several lift tickets and lodging passes which will
be raffled off after the items listed on the raffle tickets.
The following raffle items are printed on the tickets: 1) Pair of skis –
spectators socialized, watched college football, and
munched while circulating among the players. The
play was spirited, with each participant playing ten
rounds of eight hands.
After steady play, numerous
loners – successful or not – and
a few euchres, Betty Wise
captured first place, Linda Slicker
second, Mary Beth Grether third,
and Flo Fiehn and Les Wise
shared fourth.

Goodyear Ski Club, Inc (GSC) Trip Agreement (Revised July 26, 2013) Unless otherwise noted, all prices are “per person, double occupancy”. All trip reservations require a signed application with payment. Make all checks payable to the Goodyear Ski Club, Inc. No post-dated check(s) will be accepted for any GSC trip. CANCELLATION AND/OR CHANGES: GSC reserves the right to: (1) withdraw the trip; (2) refuse, at any time, to accept or retain any person as a trip participant; and/or (3) prior to departure, make changes in published itinerary, whenever, in its sole judgment, conditions warrant. Unforeseen costs from changes to air travel, ground travel, lift tickets or rooming will be passed onto the trip participants. FUEL SURCHARGES: The GSC may incur additional fuel surcharges to the contracted transportation at any time before trip departure. It is the responsibility of the participant to pay any such increases. Participants having any questions regarding this policy should contact their trip leader. ROOMING PREFERENCES: Due to the nature of our trips, the number of participants, the bedding configuration, and the accommodations secured for the trip participants, the GSC cannot guarantee that the requested rooming preference will be provided. SINGLE SUPPLEMENT: Room rates are based upon double occupancy. If you are a single participant, without a roommate preference, every effort will be made to find you a roommate. If that is not possible, you will be required to pay any single supplement charges that may be imposed. RESPONSIBILITY: GSC is acting as the applicant’s agent and will not be liable for any loss or damage to baggage or property, or any personal injury, or any other loss occurring or occasioned by applicant’s participation or lack of participation in a trip. GSC will not be responsible for any cost increase(s) due to increases in local, state, or Federal taxes, fuel surcharges, baggage fees, etc. Any participant under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. REFUNDS: Applicant will receive a full refund if the GSC cancels a trip, except and unless such cancellation is necessitated or caused, either wholly or in part, by applicant’s cancellation or failure to make timely payment. 1) Where applicant cancels at any time and trip departs 100% filled, the applicant may be entitled to a refund, less a $5 service charge on any one day trip; a $15 service charge on any weekend trip; or a $25 service charge on any trip over three days. 2) Where applicant cancels and a trip departs less than 100% filled, the applicant may be liable for the entire cost of the applicant’s trip, including deposit, final payment and/or balance due. 3) Applicant shall be liable to the GSC for any monies expended or paid by GSC over and above payments made by the applicant to the GSC. NSF CHECK: For any check returned for insufficient funds, the participant will be assessed a $25 minimum return check fee, plus any daily penalties incurred by the GSC. The return of any check will be cause for cash payments to be made to the GSC Treasurer. If checks are returned for insufficient funds, the Treasurer shall notify the participant and allow him/her fourteen (14) days to cover the check. If funds have not been paid within the fourteen day period, the member may lose his/her position on any GSC trip or activity. TRIPS OUT OF THE COUNTRY: You must have a current passport, which does not expire until 6 months after your return. If you have been convicted of a crime, including D.U.I., you may be refused entry into the subject country and should contact the country’s embassy or Consular General for the proper procedure or clearance. The GSC is not responsible for the denied entry. ASSOCIATE MEMBER: To protect the GSC’s non-profit status, each non-member is charged an Associate Membership fee based upon a non- refundable fee structure of: $5 for each one day trip; $10 for each weekend trip; and $25 for any trip longer than three days. This fee allows an individual to participate on a current season ski trip. Within one month from the ending date of the respective trip, the Associate Membership fee may be applied toward a full membership. The fee does not entitle the Associate Member to receive the monthly newsletter or any other GSC benefits. The Associate Membership fee will be in effect only after a trip is opened to non-members. NOT INCLUDED: Any items not specifically mentioned as part of the trip, such as: meals, phone calls, transportation to the point of trip departure, items of a personal nature, fees charged for airlines for checked baggage, etc. are the sole responsibility of the trip participant.

I understand the dangers inherent in trip activities and acknowledge that I have had an opportunity to make all necessary inquiries regarding the transportation and facilities involved. I release the GSC to use my likeness which may appear on their website to publicize their ski trips, which may appear in their photo albums or which may appear in other media used to publicize the GSC and its activities. I am gifting a portion of my trip fee (eligible reimbursement/# of trip participants) to the Trip Coordinator. I intend this release to be binding on my heirs and personal representatives. If I am the parent or legal guardian of a trip participant, I intend the above release to be applicable to the participant as well as to me.
