GGRSC Park and Ride Trip -- Otsego Ski Club -- Gaylord -- Saturday January 8, 2022 Final Information:
To GGRSC members and friends:
Join the 10 GGRSC skiers already signed up for a day of skiing at Otsego Ski Club in Gaylord on Saturday January 8, 2022.
Members and guests are welcome. Otsego Ski Club has some new natural snow but is busy making snow each day. The resort thinks they will have 4 of the 5 lifts open and most of their runs will be open by Saturday. They will be less busy thanmany of the ski resorts on a weekend as they are not as well known due to it being a private ski area until a couple years ago.
We are meeting at Post Road ( Drive) NE Carpool lot and 131 expressway at 6:30 AM for our journey north. Otsego Ski Resort hours are 9:00 AM to 8:30 PM on Saturday. You can also just meet us up at the resort if you choose. Please indicate where you are meeting on your ski club registration. You can register online www.ggrsc.org under the January 8 park and ride event. Non members can also register for this trip on our website.

SKI PRICES AND DISCOUNTS:
It is recommended to buy your Liftopia ticket online at Otsego Resorts ahead of time as most ski areas are limiting the number of skiers and boarders for the day according to Covid regulations. The regular prices are $ 65 for adults 20 and over and for seniors 70+ the price is $ 35. Act early to get your tickets as they were on sale for $ 52.99 for adults and $ 21.99 for seniors above 70. These deals are limited and sell out fast. There were a few tickets left when I checked on Thursday evening.
