Après Ski Club Activities

Après is well known for its numerous activities and social events. A synopsis on how this works: There are 12 members at large who are appointed "Directors" by Après' officers. These directors are then assigned to oversee various functions within the club, which include our main activity groups: ski racing, land sports, water sports and social activities. These directors work with the membership to plan and organize activities and events for the membership to enjoy. Après looks to members in general to run events although this may well include directors. The main responsibility of any director is to solicit and advise members on leading events, scheduling events with the Event Calendar and reconciling any accounting involved. All Après specific events are listed in the Après' Scribe where lead times allow and on our Après home page.
*Skiing*	Mostly we ski at Tahoe and we stay at the Après Lodge located in Kings Beach, in what's known as "unorganized" fashion. Unorganized means if there is no special event, just come up and stay. Historically there has always been room at the Lodge. For more details go to the Lodge Procedures page. We also have "Organized" skiing events that include food and perhaps a theme. Organized skiing events require a lodge reservation.
*Ski Racing* Racing Page	Après has a very successful race team which has been competing and winning the Open League Championships for years. The Après' Racing Director aligns race weekends with the OLRC racing calendar. All Après' members are encouraged to join the race team which has classes from novice to very advanced. You definitely do not have to be a expert skier to join the Après Racing Team.
*Tennis* Tennis Page	Après has an active tennis group with the most membership participation outside of skiing.
*Land Sports*	Land sports include roller-blading, hiking, bike riding, back-packing and similar activities. The Land Sports Director will be delighted to help you run an event or hear of new ideas. Our regular Wednesday morning hike is at Rancho San Antonio County Park (RSA.) This hike is as much social as it is about exercise. After (Après) the hike we meet at a local shop which serves coffee and bagels. We also have garden produce swaps during the growing season. For the hike, meet on Wednesdays at the RSA restrooms parking lot, at 9:00 a.m. Starting May 7, 2008 we will meet at 8:30. (Hint, be punctual.) The hike takes about one and one half hours with about 800 feet of elevation change. This activity is open to non-members as well.
*Water Sports*	Water Sports include kayaking, white water rafting, sailing on the bay and water skiing. We also have members that scuba-dive on a regular basis. If you are particularly interested in water skiing check out our sister club Fun and Sun Also contact our Water Sports Director for more info.
*Social*	Our most regular social event is our weekly TGIF meeting at various cocktail lounges starting at 5:00 p.m. Look for lodge events year around and local events after the snow melts. Our home page is always full of interesting social events, year around.
*Club Meetings*	Our general club meetings are usually held in the evening of the second Wednesday of each month. From May to September, we do a Barbeque. Our general meetings except for the barbeque, are "no" host. Our meetings are open to non-members as well as long as they qualify for being a member. Check our home page for the current general meeting location.
