The End of an ERA!  This web site will close down as the HVARA web site.  Why?  The HVARA has decided to open a new web site, http://www.hiddenvalleyracing.org, and the Hidden Valley Club no longer posts the link to this web site on their web page.  To continue this site as the HVARA web site would be confusing to members and redundant.  

The site will be converted to Buffy & John's winter skiing and ski racing site and remain available as a link on their www.buffynjohn.com web site.  Some information contained on the site will be deleted.  Anyone interested in purchasing web site content and/or its domain name (hvara.com) should contact the site's Web Master Dr. John T. Whiting.  If friends, HVARA or the Hidden Valley Club wish to have information about skiing posted on the new site they can contact the Web Master.
