Last delight of the year! Delighted that you have continued to support the existing board and added some new members to the board! Delighted that you have continued to be involved in the various committees our club has to provide you with many, many skiing, boarding, kayaking and cycling and social engagements throughout the year! Delighted at how we have grown our membership and welcome new friends to all our activities. Delighted to announce the Spring Banquet on April 25, and you can register online. Delighted to share that the membership renewals will be coming out shortly for the 2026-2027 year. Delighted that we have a solid lineup of winter ski trips lined up for next season and delighted that your feedback with all the surveys has given you more ski trips and some non-ski trips. However, we are Discombobulated that the non-ski trip for this fall has not filled up yet, so please, since you asked for non-ski trips, please sign up. This is a trip that was curated for Susquehanna Ski Club.

Again, let’s remind you that our membership year for 2026-2027 begins on April 1, 2026. You can renew (or join) online on this website's Membership page. As you are renewing, encourage a friend to join and also reserve your seats at the Annual Spring Banquet. Keep an eye open for news on the upcoming 2026-27 Social Calendar and spring and summer activities.

And on a sad note, reflecting on the life of Hap Campbell, a longtime member of SSC. He lived a good life, was a good leader, and a good friend to all of us.

My quote this month “It is never too late to be what you might have been”.

Enjoy life,

The Susquehanna Ski Club has lost a former President, devoted leader, and cherished friend. Loudon “Hap” Campbell passed away on Tuesday, February 24, at the age of 76. His impact on our club spanned decades, and hE will be deeply missed.

Hap joined the Susquehanna Ski Club in the early 1980s and quickly became one of its most dedicated members. He served as Vice President in 1987–1988 and co-chaired the club’s Val d’Isère, France ski trip during that same period. In 1988–1989, Hap became President, leading the club with enthusiasm, integrity, and a strong commitment to its members. In recognition of his service, he was awarded the Silver Ski Award in 1989.

His leadership did not stop there. In 1989–1990, Hap served on the Board of Directors and headed the Nominating Committee. He went on to lead the Taos ski trip in 1990-1991 and lead the Big Sky trip in 1991-1992. Hap was also a member of the Trip Planning Committee from 1990-1997 and 2003-2007.

During those same years, he was appointed to the Awards Committee and also headed the Nominating Committee. In 1992, he received the prestigious Gold Ski Award for his continued dedication and contributions.

From 1987 through 2013, Hap generously served as the club’s untitled legal counsel, offering his professional expertise and guidance whenever it was needed. His steady hand and wise counsel helped shape the club through many successful years. In 2007, he was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his outstanding service and unwavering commitment to the Susquehanna Ski Club.

Hap’s legacy is one of leadership, service, and friendship. Whether organizing trips, guiding the board, or simply enjoying time on the slopes with fellow members, he embodied the spirit of our club. His dedication strengthened our organization, and his friendship enriched our community.
