Meet your new 2010 - 2011 Calgary Ski Club Council

	Abraham G - Cross Country Director
	Brian Edgar - Downhill & Snowboarding Director
	Lynn Bowers - Hiking/Snowshoeing Director I am the Hiking and Snowshoe Director and have been with the CSC for over 20 years and have been an honourary member for a few years now. I’m known for wanting to combine fine dining with all my outings, whether dressed appropriately for the restaurants or not. Come out and join me on the hills this year!
	Craig Tillison - Day Trips Director I was born and raised in Saskatchewan; attended U of S, now known as U of R in Regina, obtaining a B.A. and B. Ed. I worked for Molson Breweries for over twenty years in Regina, Saskatoon and Calgary. Since the brewery closed in Calgary I have held various postions, most notably with Canada Bread. When I reached the age of fifty five I chose to 'semi-retire' and work summers only at Inglewood Golf Course and ski on 'pow' days in the winter. Sounds good eh? Send your donations to.. I joined the CSC when I moved here in 1988 and have been a member ever since; many of my friends are members or friends of members, it has been my way of integrating into the society here and I highly recommend it to new-comers and long term residents alike. I hope to 'give back' by serving on council as day-trip co-ordinator. Pray for snow! Global warming ____
	Debra Mandzuik-Burns - Extended Trips Director Born and raised in Saskatchewan, I was briefly introduced to skiing by a friend in High School, but my love for skiing really developed when I moved to Lethbridge and started skiing at Fernie. I have been a member of the CSC since January 2007. I joined CSC to meet people who shared my passion for downhill skiing. Through day trips and weekend bus trips, I have enjoyed skiing in a friendly atmosphere with other members and developing great friendships. Since planning events is second nature for me, last year I immediately volunteered to plan and act as trip coordinator for the successful Kimberley trip. This year, I volunteered to be the Extended Trips Director in order to plan a variety of extended bus trips, day trips and carpool trips that hopefully will offer something for every discipline offered by the CSC. My plan for this year is to join our Alpine/Cross-Country/Snowshoe and Hiking programs through camaraderie on trips and social activities.
	Diane Duckett - Office Administrator I’m British and came to Calgary from Syria in 1997. I have 2 children, and have travelled to, and worked in administrative roles in many countries and owned a restaurant in the UK. Currently I operate a small real-estate portfolio of fully-furnished condominiums. I joined the CSC last season, love downhill skiing and am a Level I instructor, planning to take my Level 2 course this winter. I’ve has just discovered hiking and will pursue Nordic skiing next year. I’ve also had a private pilot's licence in the 80s, have parachuted and bungie-jumped and enjoy life to the fullest!
	Glenna Paton -Communicatons Director I’m a downhill skier who has just recently reformed from a few years on the dark side of snowboarding . I learned to ski on the icy slopes of Southern Ontario and honed my skills during a two year stint living in Switzerland. My hubby Andy and I moved to Calgary just over a year ago and we’re both looking forward to our second ski season with CSC. I hope my fast talking and natural exuberance will serve me well in promoting CSC and all of the great activities our club has to offer. You’ll be hearing from me with our CSC UPDATES newsletter! which I create and seeing a lot of me at all of our upcoming social events!
	Beth Hourie - Membership Director
	Janine McInnis - Treasurer
	Craig Danco - I.T. Director I joined CSC in 2008 looking to find other carzy folks in search of the roughest & toughest terrain the hills have to offer. Skiing since I was six, you’ll see me out in any kind of weather and I try to never miss a weekend trip. If you don’t find me out on the hills almost every weekend, you’ll find me mountain biking them instead!
	Alasdair Fergusson - Past-President Also known as the "Tsar of XC skiing", there isn't anything as President that I haven’t done at the CSC! In my 38 years at the CSC I’ve held various positions, set up the Learn to Loppet lessons, done tracksetting and grooming at Shaganappi, volunteered as chief coordinator at the Lake Louise Loppet for over 10 years, and volunteer and chief coordinator for the New and Used Ski Sale for over 20 years. Whew! Add to that being the CSC advocate for the National Parks, City of Calgary and other Ski organizations. A retired former Geologist, I hope to be around to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the club in 2020 and to continue to see CSC, the Loppet and the Ski Sale prosper. Most importantly I want to continue to be able to enjoy skiing and hiking with my wife Helen and my fellow companions in my beloved mountains.
	Brian Danco - President After a forced absence from skiing while in Houston, I returned to Calgary and joined the CSC in 2008. I joined council as Vice-President in 2009 to bring new ideas and help improve CSC for all members . This year I hope to improve the dialogue between council and members, assist other council volunteers in their goals and activities and promote to our members great activities and opportunities with CSC. And being a Downhill skier, the most important goal is to have fun this ski year!
