On June 2nd we were at The Food Company in Green Hills for our monthly meeting. We enjoyed perfect weather and it was a great build up for our meeting next month where we'll start accepting signups for our ski trips!

On May 31st we met up for the first of the Brentwood Summer Concert Series at Crockett Park. The Wanna Beatles performed the best of the Fab 4 and we had a great time hanging out and listening.

We celebrated Cinco de Mayo at our May Membership Meeting in Cool Springs. We're gearing up for a lot of fun events in the spring and summer while looking ahead to our 2027 ski trips!

Be sure to join us on June 2nd for our next meeting. It'll be our tune-up for the "big meeting" in July where we start accepting ski trip sign-ups!

On April 25th several of us did the Old Stone Fort hike in Murfreesboro. It was perfect weather for a hike and the scenery was gorgeous!

Our April meeting was at Crow's Nest in Green Hills where we held elections for our board members and officers. Congrats to those who were elected!

We're fortunate to have some very talented people in our club! Thanks to member Howard H. for shooting, editing and posting the videos below. They're from our Winter Park and Steamboat trips.

On March 21st we visited Leiper's Fork Distillery, learned how their products are made and indulged in some samples! More pictures are in the Photo Gallery.

Our final trip of the 2025-26 ski season was to Snowmass where we enjoyed beautiful bluebird skies and the gorgeous scenery including the Maroon Bells.

Our March meeting was at McNamara's in Donelson where our members shared all the fun things that happened on the Steamboat and Telluride trips. As a bonus we got to listen to some live Irish music!

If you missed this meeting, be sure to join us next month in Green Hills!

In late February we visited Telluride and were blessed with gorgeous sunshine almost every day. Is it any wonder this is one of our club's favorite resorts?!

In early February we took a group to Steamboat and had an outstanding time. We had a great welcome party and a couple of other group dinners included. Steamboat is a club favorite and if you missed this trip, you missed out!

With ice still lingering around much of the area, our Gastronomic Gallivant saw a smaller-than-usual group but these gals still had a great time and enjoyed some wonderful food.

At our February meeting we welcomed back the folks who went on our Winter Park and Keystone trips and loved catching up on all the inside scoop from those trips. Some of our folks still had no power after the prior week's ice storm so they were glad to join us in the warmth. Miss this meeting? Join us next month in Donelson!

Our second trip of the season was to Keystone, a place we hadn't visited in over 10 years! While the weather started out very cold, by mid-week it was glorious. Thanks to our "local" guide, Robert Johnson (in red), who gave us the inside scoop on the mountain. We won't wait 10+ years to go back!

We kicked off our 2026 ski trips with a visit to Winter Park, Colorado on January 4-11. Over 20 of us escaped the Nashville humidity for the clean mountain air. While we were there we met up with members of some other Crescent Ski Council clubs which made for an even bigger party! See the Photo Gallery tab for even more pictures!

Our January meeting was at Crow's Nest in Green Hills. We had a good turnout despite some of our folks already out on the slopes in Winter Park. Our monthly meeting is a great time for members, their guests, and visitors alike to get acquainted with other folks in the club, so be sure to join us in February for the next meeting.

On January 2nd we braved the drizzle and took in the lights at the Cheekwood estate. Thousands of lights both inside and outside decorated the mansion and grounds. There are loads more photos in the Photo Gallery.

We kicked off the New Year with a Hangover Hike at Longhunter State Park. While most of our hikes begin early in the morning, we made allowances for the previous night and eased into this one mid-morning.

Ifor Williams

Hometown: Knoxville, TN
When did you first join the ski club? 2025
Favorite ski resort? Breckenridge (this was a really hard question because I like so many ski mountains)

What are your favorite sports teams?
Tennessee Volunteers in all college sports. Since I grew up in Knoxville and my Dad was on the UTK faculty, I became a fan of the Big Orange early in life and have never looked back.

If you could live anywhere in the world for a year, where would it be?
Girona, Spain, because it has good weather most of the year, there’s an abundance of excellent biking opportunities, and it is a hub for European cycling

Do you have any pets? What are their names?
Yes. My dog Bodie is a redbone coonhound mix rescue dog and the best hiking dog I’ve ever met. I also have two cute ragdoll cats who are brother and sister (Skipper and Marie).

What’s the weirdest food you’ve ever eaten?
Scottish haggis (a savory pudding made with sheep heart, liver and lungs combined with chopped onion, oatmeal, suet, and seasonings) is somewhere near the top of the list and I actually like most versions of it.

What are your other favorite sports to participate in?
Cycling (mostly gravel and MTB), distance running, hiking, kayaking
