The USA started out as a group of young teenagers organizing a
weekend ski trip with Father Richard, parish priest from St.
Michael's Church. The year was
1970, and these teens included: Orest Rusynko, Steve Szulhan, John
Bybel, Myron Perich, Helen Wydzak, Mitch and Patti Steciuk, and as
"chaperones" Tony and Anna Evans. The first ski trip was to the
Poconos. |
|
Afterwards, weekend trips were organized informally to Killington
where they rented a ski house. In 1977 the Ukrainian Ski Association
wrote up its by-laws and became a formal organization. We have this
original document in our archives. |
|
The early years consisted of weekend trips including Sugarbush, "The
Crow's Nest", Beacon Motel (Back to Beacon!), Smugglers Notch, Jay
Peak (Jay Peak or Bust!" - this was the first bus trip), Mt St Anne
in Quebec (two busloads -yes, we really did have two busloads!) as
well as trips out west including Aspen,
Lake Tahoe and Breckenridge. |
|
In 1985, we took our first trip to Europe,to Innsbruck, Austria and
we had over 40 people. The snow was terrible but we had a great
time. |
|
Since then we have visited 2 European countries, Italy and Austria,
3 Canadian provinces (British Columbia, Alberta and Quebec), and 11
US States: NY, PA, VT, NH, ME, MA, CA, NV, UT, CO and WY by plane,
bus and car. |
