THE
"SKIYOTA SKI CLUB"
WAS
FORMED 27 YEARS AGO BY FOUR COUPLES, THE PERKINS, THE HYINKS, THE LARSONS
AND THE SWENSONS WHEN WE WERE ALL LIVING IN WORTHINGTON, MINNESOTA.
THE
WORD SKIYOTA WAS COINED FROM THE TOYOTA COMMERCIAL "YOU ASKED FOR IT
YOU GOT IT, TOYOTA". WE MADE IT "YOU ASKED FOR IT SKIYOTA"
WHEN WE RENTED OUR FIRST "SKI IN" CONDOS AT CRESTED BUTTE.
THE
SKIYOTA LOGO WAS DESIGNED BY LOWELL MOON AND PERFECTED BY LAURIE BERGREN
THE
SKIYOTA MANAGEMENT, BETTER KNOW AS THE "SMT", SOMEWHAT GOVERNS
THIS VERY LOOSE ORGANIZATION. THE "SMT" [SWENSON, MOON, THOMAN
& CAIRNS] WRITES THE SORTA MONTHLY NEWSLETTERS [WE DO SOMETIMES GET
EDITED BY JAN, JAN, DIANE & ROBYN, WHY WE DON’T KNOW]
THE
SMT ALSO MAKES THE RULES. THE NUMBER ONE RULE IS THAT THERE ARE NO RULES.
WE REALIZE THIS IS A TOUGH JOB BUT SOMEONE HAS TO DO IT.
THE
SKIYOTAS ARE OF ALL AGES, OCCUPATIONS AND COME FROM KANSAS, MINNESOTA,
IOWA, WISCONSIN, GEORGIA, TEXAS, WASHINGTON, MISSOURI, NEBRASKA, ARIZONA,
CALIFORNIA AND EVERY PLACE IN BETWEEN.
WE
RANGE IN AGE FROM 2 TO 75, OUR OCCUPATIONS ARE FARMERS, CONSTRUCTION
OWNERS AND WORKERS, DAIRY QUEEN OWNERS, TEACHERS, COUNSELORS, MED TECS,
DOCTORS, MECHANICS, REAL ESTATE AGENTS, STUDENTS, HAIR DRESSERS, WALMART
EXECUTIVES (?), FUNNEL CAKE VENDORS, ELECTRICIANS AND BUMS. WE DID HAVE 3
LAWYERS BUT 2 HAVE WENT TO THE GREAT SKI SLOPE IN THE SKY AND WE DUMPED
THE OTHER ONE.
THE
SKIYOTA CREED
WE
ARE FRIENDS BOTH NEW AND OLD,
WE
CRAVE THE SLOPES BRAVE AND BOLD.
WE
SKI BY DAY AND SING BY NIGHT,
ON
POWDERED RUNS THEN THE HOT TUB DELIGHT.
THE
SWEDE IS A BIT CRAZY BUT REMAINS OUR GLUE,
HIS
DEALS ARE MANY BUT THE PLEASURES ARE TRUE.
WE’VE
BECOME A LEGION ORE THE YEARS BY-GOTA,
THAT’S
WHY WE ALL YELL TO THE CROWDS "SKIYOTA".
