SAC member Kimarie Scholz has this to share; I took my 5 kids camping in our 26’ motorhome at Mission Ridge Ski area over the 3-day MLK weekend. More affordable lift ticket prices, night skiing, lessons for my 6 year old, gorgeous views from the top of chair 2, and a very friendly environment all made for a great time. Definitely would recommend driving the extra hour past Stevens Pass, if you’ve got the time. Highlight for the 12 yo was the “toilet bowl” run in the middle of Bomber Bowl. Too many pics to choose from.

Skagit Alpine Club Meeting Notes: January 5, 2021
Thank you JFro and Andrea for sharing your incredible action-packed world adventures in geology, biology and archeology, from the arctic to the equator. Highlights included, volcanoes, flowing lava, posing puffins, diving iguanas, Machu-ing Picchus, a truly mysterious collection of colossal desert hieroglyphics that were definitely not made by aliens, Volkswagen-sized tortoises and more blue footed boobies than you can shake a stick at.
