State of the Lodge Revisited
Thanks to all who responded to our last
newsletter a rti cle – the comments recei ved represented a good cross section of
club membership and lodge usage. The
issue before us is one of i ncreased lodge
expenses (ta xes , insurance, utilities) wi th
fla t usa ge. The Lodge was intended to be a
self-sustaining enterprise. The s teps outlined below, approved at the summer
Boa rd Meeting, are intended to increase
both income and usage wi thout putting these costs onto members
who ma y ha ve little use of the Lodge.

The ski schedule for the coming year was finalized; a hoped
for return to Jay Peak did not come together. See the full
schedule on page 6. One trend that was noted for western
trips is that lodging is becoming an issue . Many places now
require commitments in advance of airlines! This is most evident on the EPSC melting pot trip to Aspen for the Winter
Carnival - the de adline for that will have passed by the time
you read this, so if you were thinking of joining that group
you may nee d to look at what other EPSC clubs are offering.
It was also decided to return to Riverwinds Restaurant on

ACTIVITIES
& TRIPS
HIKING
SKIING
We hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable
summer. While ski season is not yet here, it is
time to start making your plans. Many western
trips are requiring early commitments for lodging, something that has not been that much of an issue in past
years. The full schedule in on page 6; her e’s the highlights:
TAOS!!! The BRSC Western Trip from Feb 22 to March 1,
2014 will be to Taos, New Mexico. This is a beautiful area
known for its powder snow and Native American culture.
While Taos has a reputation for expert terrain, don’t let that
deceive you. A lot of their double black slopes are in hike-to
territory; they have a good amount of gr een and blue trails
hidden from the town below in a high mountain valley. See
page 6 for the trip sign up - while it is a little pricier than some
past trips (last year at Mt Bachelor was hard to beat!) that is
the trend for all trips. And we will be staying SLOPESIDE! This
trip requires an early commitment, as our accommodations at
the Snakedance are in demand and have an October reservation deadline. The reservation form in on page 7.
EPSC WIN TER CARN IVAL AT ASPEN! January 18-25 2014.
Club members can sign on with the EPSC Melting Pot trip
($1695 pp) or with another reciprocal club. However, due to
lodging limitations the melting pot may be full. Check the
EPSC web site for details (easternpaskicouncil.org) or contact
Dave Schoneker ([email protected]) or Bob Smith
([email protected]).
Closer to home, in addition to TWO Hunt-for-Snows we will
have a Cross-Country Weekend and a mid-week Vermont
Ramble at the Woodbridge Lodge. Along with Mount Snow,
the Stratton, Bromley, Magic, and Okemo ski areas are all easy
day trips from the Lodge. If you did not make it to the Lodge
last year, be sure to get up in the coming season!
E P S C NE W S
Fall 2013 Short Hike Schedule
BRSC Wednesday hikes will start earlier this
year on September 4, right after Labor Day, and will continue later into the season. This way we will have a few more
warm days for ice cream! Schedule is subject to change at the
whim of the group.
The meeting place is at Granite Run Mall, Route 1 entrance
traffic light, next to the McDonalds Restaurant. Drive in the entrance street, and park on the back side of the curb in the mall lot.
Meeting time is 9:15 am to arrange car pools and parking, leaving
promptly at 9:30 am. Please bring lunch, dress in layers w/small
back pack and $ for driver(s)!
Hikes are approximately 5-7 miles and easy to moderate in
difficulty. Consider wearing comfortable hiking shoes and bringing
extra shoes since some hikes can be muddy. Questions? Mel Stiles

State of the Lodge Revisited (Continued from page 1)
IIf you read the last newsletter, you know we have been trying to make the Woodbridge Lodge self-sustaining without increasing dues or
nightly rates. We have listened to a number of members, and feel the new dues structure will help us meet this goal. As you will see on the
renewal form, basic membership dues are unchanged. However, we have added a “lodge privilege” option as a membership add-on at $20
individual or $30 family. This add-on is similar to that used by other ski clubs that maintain lodges.
What the Lodge Privilege will give you is the preferred nightly rate of $20 per person in ski season, with a cap of $60 per night for families. Club members who do NOT select the Lodge Privilege add-on will pay what has been the guest rate of $30 per person per night and will
still have access to the Lodge at any time as at present, depending on availability. Lodge privilege does not carry preferred access for reservations. Guest rates will be unchanged, and guests will still require a club member to sponsor and be with them.
Thus, if you use the Lodge for more than two nights during the ski season you will save money by adding on the Lodge Privilege to your
membership. If you never use the Lodge your membership will remain the same, but we would certainly appreciate if you chose to include
Lodge Privileges to support what has been an integral part of Buck Ridge tradition! Lifetime membership will include lodge privileges, and all
workers at Work Parties will continue to receive two chits per day of work.
And remember... you can use the Lodge year round. When it’s 95 degrees and 95% humidity in Philadelphia, you will be lucky to see 80
degrees at the Lodge! Hiking, biking, paddling… its more better in Vermont!
Speaking of using the Lodge, there have been a lot of improvements. The drafty and inefficient wood-burning fireplace has been replaced
with a gas fireplace that provides flame-flickering ambience with a lot more efficiency and without the coals to carry out. We have also
started installation of an outdoor fire-pit. While it’s great in summer, it still needs some work to have it usable in deep winter snows! With
that said, remember we always need helping hands at the Lodge Work Parties. At two chits per day of work, how can you afford not to lend
a hand? Our Fall Work Party is scheduled for the weekend of October 25-27. Mark your calendar now!
- Mike Fernandez, lodge chair
FALL 2013 WOODBRIDGE LODGE WORK / CLEANING PARTY: OCTOBER 25-27
Space is limited—contact Terry McGinn to confirm your attendance! We will arrive on Friday, Depart Sunday. Everyone gets
