NEWSLETTER 2006
current ski club news, events & activities
President’s Message
David Jensen
It's already December, the snow is falling in Tahoe, and we're only 5
weeks away from our first skiing and snowboarding trip to Heav-
enly. If you're as excited about Trip 1 as I am, you should sign up
soon before all the spots fill up and before you get busy during the
holiday season.
Speaking of signing up early, don't forget that if you sign up for trips
before January 1, you'll save $10 each on trips 2, 3, 4, and 6. Before
and after January 1, we've made it easier for you to sign up for multi-
ple trips at once by changing the sign up form to allow you to sign
up for many trips at once.
If you know of somebody who has not renewed membership yet, they might be missing out on all the news of our
great events and discounts so get a hold of them, let them know what's going on, and get them to send in their mem-
bership and trip sign up forms.
In early November, several members volunteered to help promote the club at the Bay Area Ski and Snowboard
Show in San Jose. I can't speak for the other volunteers but I thought having this booth was a success. We met quite
a few people who were either very interested in the club after we told them a little bit about it. We'll have to wait and
see what happens and how many people sign up for trips as a result of the booth but I'm very optimistic. A special
thanks to Morgan Hua and all of the volunteers for making this possible. And thanks to the folks at the Bay Area Ski
and Snowboard Show for donating the space for us to use for free.
Also on the front for finding new members, the NSC club and public flyers were downloaded 75 times in November.
Way to go! Keep downloading that flyer to help introduce NSC to people in clubs and organizations to which you
belong. Here are the links again:

Another event we had in November was the very delicious and well attended NSC Pre-season Potluck Cook Off.
Thanks to Alice Horio, Amy Lew Tsuhako, Jason Ng, Angela Fong, the volunteers, the dance instructors (Alice
Horio, Gail Sueki, Don Gee), and all the potluck participants for making this event great. Finally, thanks to Curtis
and the California Ski Company for organizing another great ski clinic.
I hope everybody has a happy and safe holiday season. Happy Holidays, Happy New Year, and I'll see you on the
slopes next month.

Pre-Season Event: A CU-CU (Culinary Cultural) Night
Alex Kami
On November 11, the Club held its requisite pre-season event and general meeting at the Mountain View Buddhist
Temple. The event proved to be a successful test of the Board and event organizers’ creative juices. Two themes
formed the foundation for the event – a potluck cook-off contest, and a snippet view of Japanese culture.
Guests began arriving around 6pm, but the event committee performed a lot of behind-the-scenes work several
weeks prior to the event. As a result of their hard work, by the time participants arrived, the party area was cov-
ered in lights and decorations including a swarm of origami cranes truly putting the area in a festive mood.
The first part involved the cook-off in which several participants brought tons of home cooked meals for the 50+
participants to savor. Under the Committee’s rules, each of the participants were asked to vote on their favorite
dishes in the following categories: salad, appetizer, main dish, and dessert.
We had a really tight race as all of the dishes deservingly received many votes. Even the store-bought eggrolls
“prepared” by a lax participant got a vote. Fortunately, the tally didn’t occur in Florida so winners were declared
without controversy. Here are the winners in each category –
Salad: Alice Horio (somen salad), Haruko Nagaishi (Nicoise French salad)
Appetizer: Jeff Gee (Chinese sticky rice), Judy Hom (panko shrimp)
Main: Karen Soo (shepherd’s pie), Winston Fong (Okinawa-style pork)
Dessert: Jeany Hahn (Espresso bourbon bundt cake), Wendy Kawamoto (chocolate ganache cake)
Congratulations and thanks go to all who shared your fantastic dishes with us!
As part of the second theme, the Committee organized an Obon dancing lesson. I realize many of us in the Club
consider Obon as a chance to sell and drink beer in July, but I believe the true meaning of the Japanese Buddhist
festival is to memorialize our ancestors who have passed on. The defining activity of the festival is a series of
dances performed in a circle.
We were lucky to have 3 world-renowned-9th-degree-black-belt instructors, Alice Horio, Don Gee, and Gail Sueki,
teach several dances to our members and guests. Against the background music of Def Leppard, our instructors
smoothly taught us 3 dances, “Shiawase Samba,” “Tanko Bushi,” and “Obon No Uta.” It only took 2 rounds be-
fore everyone became a pro at the exercise. However, for some reason, I have a hunch we won’t be able to get our
members out of that beer booth to go dancing next July.
Thanks go to Alice, Don, and Gail for spending quality time with us to teach us a fun activity. In addition, we’ll
take this chance to extend a great hurrah to the Committee members: Dick Horio, Amy and David Tsuhako, Nel-
son Owyang, Hoyt Nelson, Jason Ng, Angie Fong, Silvia Lee, Karen Soo, and Curtis Otaguro. Oh, and most of
all, Alice again for being the event leader as the chairperson!
I always consider a well organized event to be one where everyone has a fun time, but all the hard work behind the
scenes are transparent. This was certainly the case here.

Pre-Season Event—A Culinary and Cultural Night
Everyone had a great time at
the Pre-Season Event, which
featured a potluck cook off and
Japanese folk dancing. With so
many people attending the pot-
luck event, all the food was
gone. This surprised a lot of
people. Thanks to all the people
who brought dishes. There
were a lot of delicious dishes. It
was fun to introduce obon
odori to you (Japanese folk
dancing). Almost everyone par-
ticipated. The dances were easy
to learn because you guys did
an excellent job.
Thanks to my committee Jason
Ng, Amy Lew, Angie Fong,
and the volunteers. We made a
fun and successful event.

NSC Spotlight on You
Jennifer Kaneda
NSC: How did you hear about NSC? What convinced you to
join?
JK: I heard about NSC through Michelle Suwabe. Growing
up, I had always gone skiing with my dad. When he injured his
back, he had to give it up, and I didn't have anyone to ski with.
Most of my friends at the time were non-skiers and my hus-
band unfortunately is not a skier. This actually turned out to be
ok. Now that I have all of you to ski with, he can stay home
and baby sit our 3 year old.
NSC: I didn’t know you are a skier. I don’t remember you on a
bus trip before.
JK: I have only gone on a few bus trips because I always get
s-o-o-o-o-o motion sick on those buses. I went on the week
long trip to Vail several years ago. My dad and uncle grew up
in the Japan Alps and learned to ski on bamboo skis in the
1930's as kids. They belonged to Peninsula Ski Club or some
Bay Area ski club in the 50's. My uncle was a long time in-
structor at Squaw and my cousin teaches and models for ski magazines in Vail. I have a long history of skiing in
my family. I think I started at 4 or 5 but I never had any formal lessons so I never got very good.
NSC: What other activities do you enjoy?
JK: Other than skiing of course, I like to ride my bicycle, hike, and camp. Since NSC introduced me to water ski-
ing, that is something I would really like to get good at. I would also love to take golf and horse back riding les-
sons someday but being a working mom leaves me little time.
NSC: You organized the Haunted Halloween Cookout back in 2004. Do you want to tell the members a little bit
about what it's like to organize an event?
JK: Halloween is my favorite holiday so it was all fun. Michelle helped me plan and I couldn't have done it with-
out her. For several years prior, we had always thrown Halloween parties together so we had some practice. The
club members were great in helping us decorate and set up and I was so amazed and impressed at how so many
members stayed late into the night to help me clean up my house and yard and take down all the lights and decora-
tions.
NSC: When you're not participating in events with the club, what do you like to do in your spare time? What are
some of your other hobbies/interests?
JK: I volunteer with the Harris Lass House Museum in Santa Clara which is an 1860's Victorian Farmstead where
NSC had our 2003 Halloween Bash. I love antiques and enjoy learning about San Mateo/Santa Clara County
history. Back when time, money and storage space were more plentiful, I was an avid collector of vintage hats,
shoes and clothing.
NSC: Is there anything else you would like to share with our NSC membership?
JK: This is an awesome club. I have never met a friendlier, more organized group of people. The great food and
non-ski activities are a huge bonus. I hope my son will be a skier someday and can experience the same camarade-
rie and fun with this club that I am enjoying now.

NSC Ski – Boot Tech Clinic
Curtis Otaguro, Trip Director
The latest ski gear designs are so innovative that they can be compared with past revolutions in tennis racquet and golf
club design. Skis now incorporate carbon fiber, hollow cores, and wide waists. New binding designs include a piston
with two way damping and rails integrated in the skis. Hi-tech has even made its way into goggles, where LCD tech-
nology allows the user to instantly switch from high-contrast for flat light to dark for bright with the touch of a button!
On Saturday, November 18th, California Ski Company hosted a clinic on the latest ski / boot / and ski apparel technol-
ogy. Greg, the shop’s owner, regularly looks for the latest in ski gear and apparel.
Greg showed us skis that utilized the latest developments in ski and binding technology. The Elan skis were con-
structed with carbon fiber to improve torsional strength but still allow it to flex for turning. We saw integrated ski
bindings that also allow the skis to flex freely with the added advantage of being lighter in weight. Volkl skis em-
ployed piston bindings, which allow the skier to adjust the ski’s rebound and damping.
Greg also showed us the latest offerings from boot manufacturers. “Boot manufacturers”, he explained, “have begun
to catch up with the advancements in ski design”. We learned that for shaped skis, subtle foot-and-ankle steering has
almost replaced the need to apply strong forward pressure to the tips of the skis. This requires a boot with forward
flex and strong rear and lateral support. This design allows the skier instant power transmission for more precise ski-
ing. Dalbello’s new Krypton boot, a reincarnation of the Raichle Flexon design, fits the bill perfectly. Other notable
boot features mentioned were thermofit liners and construction using different materials for improved performance.
Thanks to Greg Whitehouse of California Ski Company and his knowledgeable staff, including John Oshima for put-
ting on a very interesting and informative clinic. For those of you who didn’t attend the event, stop by the shop and
check out the wide selection of ski gear and apparel. For those of you with hard-to-fit feet, come and check out their
large line of smaller boots.
Also, special thanks to Taste Soo Good Catering for providing the bruschetta, guacamole dip, and spicy chicken
wings for the event.
