VCOTHG started as a ski
club affiliated with OTHG International which in turn started as a ski club
formed by ex-members of the U.S. Army 10th Mountain Division who, as they
aged, lost many of their former skiing partners to inactivity. Not wanting to
give up skiing or not wanting to ski alone, they found kindred spirits among
some senior Colorado skiers. The initial group went through a series of
informal associations until OTHGI Incorporated over twenty-five years ago. Today, the Ventura club’s
hard corps of skiers is a minority as the social aspects have come to
dominate our activities. Regardless, we have an annual mid-week ski trip to
Mammoth Mountain. This "great value” event always includes non-skiers
because there are numerous things to do in Mammoth Lakes, including nightly
après ski parties, group dinner, snow shoeing, and lots of camaraderie. Also
during ski season we sometimes sponsor another ski event organized by our Ski
Chair. In addition to which there are informal trips and trips that are
organized by other ski clubs to which we are invited. We have
members who gave up skiing twenty or more years ago renew their interest in
the sport, to their great joy. We also have had older members try the sport
for the first time by taking beginner ski lessons and developed enough skill
to enjoy thereafter the exhilaration of being outdoors in Nature’s winter
wonderland. |
