Ikon pass Epic pass purchase information for the OC Ski Club

I joined the OC’s in 1997. It has given me the opportunity to ski in the Northeast, Canada, and Europe and make some lifelong friends.

Over the years, I’ve enjoyed volunteering for a variety of events like the club Installation Dinners, Christmas parties, and running trips.

I was awarded the Outstanding Member award in 2007, co-chaired the OC 50th Year Anniversary event and was in charge of the Ambassador Committee for 16 years, welcoming newcomers and answering their questions. I took a break a few years ago, but I still help man the Ambassador table when I attend meetings because I like to make new people feel welcome.

I have served on the Board of Directors, so I know what’s expected of me. As a member of the Board, I listened to the ideas and concerns of our club membership and was happy to bring their input to the Board. If elected, I’ll be happy to do that again.

My name is Tina Sorell. This year, I am celebrating my 30^th year in the OC SKI Club, and have accepted nomination for Board of Directors. During my first 15 years, I volunteered in numerous ways. I served 4 years as a Member of the Board of Directors. I was Chair of the Activities & Entertainment Committee for 4 years. So many events, dinner parties, boat cruises, happy hours. Year-round fun. In addition, I served as Trip Leader for alpine trips out west, Mt. Bachelor and Lake Tahoe, and in the northeast to Stowe and Whiteface. Early on, I xc skied, and organized and participated in that too! And I played volleyball for about 15 years. My passions now focus on downhill skiing, kayaking, camping, golf, fishing and hunting. For that reason, I moved to the Adirondacks, very close to Gore Mountain, making my adventures happen. This is what this ski club and its members taught me, and what I want to pay forward.

Skiing in Europe 3 years, and out west for 25 years, plus numerous trips to Sunday River, Stowe, Smugglers Notch, Jay Peak, Mt. Tremblant, Whiteface and others have been a gift.

I also bring experience of membership with several other ski clubs, seeing what works and what doesn’t for them. Year-round activities are important to keep the camaraderie, excitement, opportunity, fun and membership going. Listening to what members want is priority, and bringing new ideas!

Volunteers are dedicated in giving their time for a purpose, making membership meaningful. I am offering my time to serve the membership, and continue the success and mission of the OC Ski Club. If you think I represent what you are looking for, then I welcome your vote.

Gail Marotti- Hossan

A proud member of the OC SKI CLUB for 40 years and active in several capacities each and every year.

I withdrew running for VP for Organized Skiing as I believe in the idea that we need new people involved. I would not have done so if I believed that Rich was not capable – but he is and I would like you to join me in offering him our support and any assistance he might need. I would still like to continue in an advisory capacity by being a member of the Board of Directors. We need the input & insight of newer members but the Club also still needs to keep the mix balanced by also electing those knowledgeable of the Clubs management as we address the changing climate for social/sports clubs such as ours. Ski resorts have demonstrated that they have diminished desire to accommodate groups as they have done in the past. Our skiing committees continue to be creative as we shift to work within the new norms. Our identity has shifted post-Covid and the Club needs both new people and those with extensive Club experience to formulate our next steps to keep our numbers strong and our membership engaged whether it’s skiing or off-season activities. I am one of those seasoned leaders of the Club and I am still willing and able to assist.

Those newer to the Club may know me as the current Elections/Membership/ Volleyball Tournament/Volleyball League Chair, and Secretary. Whether it’s going on trips or a non-skiing activity, I’ve always loved the camaraderie of the OC SKI CLUB members. You will see me on the Sunday River trip most years – This annual trip was my personal project beginning in 2003 & I am so pleased to see that it continues to be a hit with our members who are looking for a great value and great ski experience

I’ve served the club as: All officer positions except VP for Skiing and as Chair of many, many committees including our largest Fundraising committee – Volleyball Tournament and my favorite – Alpine trips chair for a collective 25 years

I’ve been the organizer of many Fun Events: Co-Chair 50^th Anniversary Celebration Year, Lake George Boat Cruise(s), Wine tasting trips, Summer Picnics, Winter Carnivals (when we had 15 buses to Mount Snow), and the Canoe/Kayaking camping trip for many years.

I have been honored to be awarded the Bob Paley Spirit award in 2002 and the “Outstanding Member” award in 2004 and Lifetime Member in 2016.

I remain passionate about the Club and its members.

Thanks, Gail
