EXECUTIVE REPORTS
WHISTLER LODGE
[email protected]
LODGE REPORT - Hilmar Schneider
There's so much snow that the lodge is ski in, ski out now. Just kidding, but being able to ski to the
valley is a nice change from last year. It's been a nice mix of stormy days (fresh powder) and sunny
days (fresh vitamin D). More members are going to the lodge just to hang out. There's lots of ways
to spend your money without skiing.
See you on the mountain.
SOCIALS

SOCIALS REPORT - Deb Reynolds
Have you made a new year’s resolution to spend fun, quality time with people and less time watching
TV? If so, your investment in a membership with the Inside Edge Club is going to pay off big time.
Keep your social event ideas coming in. What else can we do? I am so glad I went to the New Year’s
Eve party with my Inside Edge friends. Roger and Doreen are rock stars for putting on such a fabulous
night! You can tell from the photos we had lots of laughs. It’s the year of the Monkey in 2016 so more
laughter and fun times to come.
I am looking for ideas for social events in March and April so talk to me if you have a suggestion for next month.
Thanks to Lindsay and Wolf for suggesting a Dim Sum event for February. Are there any Star Wars fans out there? I
know who you are.

TOURS

TOURS REPORT - Melody Monro
Happy Family Day and Happy Valentine’s Day! Enjoy February! If a last minute ski
trip happens, you’ll see it posted on the Club Facebook site and in the Yahoo
groups. If it doesn’t, why not spend a weekend in Whistler?
A February tidbit: February 22nd full moon was historically known in many North
American Nations as the 'Full Snow Moon' because that is when there used to be
the greatest accumulation of snow in the winter. So if you can - get out there!

Western Lake Chinese Seafood Restaurant is hailed as one of the best places for
dim sum in greater Vancouver, receiving much attention for the massive portions,
their har gows (prawn dumplings) reportedly one of the biggest in the area.
However, their signature dinner dishes must not be overlooked. Diners will find an
extensive selection of authentic Cantonese fare to enjoy with family and friends for

Two Day Weekend End of Season Tournament
Sign up: Clubnight (Jan 7, Feb 4, Mar 3)
Inquiries: [email protected]
Yes, it's that time already! As usual, just because there's snow on the hill doesn’t mean the Softball Committee hasn't
been busy planning ahead! The cost has been kept the same as last year. And we are also planning a few social events
over the season. Check for updates when you sign up at January's Clubnight.
Ours is a fun league with camaraderie and enjoyment of the sport the number one goal. It is mixed male and female (7
& 3 format) with all skill levels welcome. The regular season will start late April (first game April 25) and go to the last
week in July. Games are mostly played on Mondays and Wednesdays with the occasional Tuesday or Thursday night
games as needed. We wrap up with a two day Tournament (August 13 & 14) in which every team has a chance to win
the championship. Regular season games are played on the all-weather field at Gladstone School and the tournament
will be held on grass at Squint Lake in Burnaby.
For those unfamiliar with the Inside Edge Club, you will find this one of our most
popular sports. There are endless opportunities to meet other members and make
new friends. Players of any level are welcome as teams are reshuffled each year.
We encourage you to sign up as early as possible to ensure you get on a team.
The Softball committee is looking for some new members to help us plan next
season. Please contact Doug at [email protected] if you can assist.

REPORTS ON RECENT ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS
REPORT ON NEW YEARS AT WOODY’S by Wolf Schneider
Thirty or so Inside Edge and friends gathered together at Woody's in Coquitlam to dance away
2015 and bring 2016 in with style. The band was up to the task, the refreshments were delicious
and copious (so much so, folks were seen taking home food for later), the drinks were liberal and
timely, right down to the champagne that was poured for all just prior to the stroke of midnight.
And thus, amidst the raucous din of noisemakers, horns, and cheering
people, 2016 was launched with great gusto and satisfaction all
around. If the rest of the year goes equally as well, this should be a
great one!! Thanks to Roger and Doreen for a great time.
