Winding Tigers Ski Club - Squaw Valley, USA

Founded in 2011 in Tahoe City California and permanently settled in Olympic Valley in 2012 with weekly ski sessions at Squaw Valley ski resort. Club membership is highly coveted but membership requirements are very strict; selection is only of the most derelict and supreme drinking abilities are a must. High tolerance for stupid antics are a must. It is unclear as to how one could even begin to be considered to become a member. Once in, there is no easy way to leave.

Purpose: Largely a social club. Skiing is an important activity too. And dancing. Mostly on chairs, couches, mantels, tables; pretty much any object and even the ground sometimes. Some ski club members ski bell-to-bell and re-group with the other members at their club house, Le Chamois.

Membership: Current club membership stands at eight. Two are members-in-training, still learning the tasks that would earn them full-blown memberships, such as turning off lights, shutting and locking doors, and adjusting the heat. Other full blown members are also questionable due to their lack of cooking and cleaning skills (e.g. OTBK).

Founding Member: A famous Mormon—famous for being thrown out of the tribe. Apparently pre-marital sex, co-habitation, and alcoholism are all frowned upon.

President: Self-nominated Irish man - which is the only way he would be elected as the other club members would never agree. The gavel has been virtual while the official club gavel is being constructed. Rules are not officially published and often spontaneous.

Club Motto: While there are a lot of ridiculously silly phrases that are repeated over and over ad nauseum, the official motto is “Our life is better than your vacation.”

Musical Talent: One club member is like the jester, kept around to entertain the other club members. Which he does excellently. J to the D. Other members strive for this role as well, but have a long way to go.

Ski-Tuning Services: Full ski tuning conducted in the ski room (a.k.a the car hole). No accurate count of the number of ski tunes is available on account of the tuning team not being able to count. People typically pay in beer from the fridge in the ski room. Sadly the beer is paid for by the tuning team in the first place, therefore ski tuning is free.

Competition: This is a competitive club on and off the slopes. Many of the activities are not child friendly. Or perhaps just childish.

Food and Drink: Full Saturday night menus are available. In 2017 vegetarianism disease infected two members, increasing the already long list of dietary restrictions and preferences that have been accommodated for years. Oddly, tea is also frequently served but most members prefer the hot toddy. Copious amounts of sake are consumed as well by one or two members in particular. Well, mostly just one member.

Communications: Some of the house members are unfamiliar with how to use the telephone. Their reactions to this strange object have been memorialized in the famous Sesame Street video where Martians land on earth.
