Hi Everyone! So much has happened in the last month that it’s hard to know where to start! There’s snow on the mountains but sadly, not on the trails so everyone keep thinking snow!

The parking lot expansion is finished and ready for use! Thanks to Anthony Vandermuellen for his always expert work.

Our Annual General Meeting will be held at the lodge at Onion Lake, 7:30 p.m.

On the Agenda:

--financial statements, budget for this year

--reports from all directors (athletics, grooming, facilities, membership)

--Policy Manual and Bylaws  (Read the drafts here and here.)

Hello skiers! Happy New Year! And hasn’t it been a glorious autumn? Hope everyone has been getting out and enjoying the fall sunshine.

The Club season got off to a terrific start with our work party on Saturday, Oct. 6. Twenty-five working adults and teens plus numerous small children (picture the 2 year old, clutching his “log” staggering through the trees – too cute!) accomplished a prodigious amount of work!

These are the draft in-the-works copies of our bylaws and policy manual.  They will be discussed and voted on at our AGM on Oct. 23 (7:30 p.m. in the lodge at Onion Lake).  If any members want to read through the documents, and give the executive your comments to improve the documents, please do!  Email Liz here.

Hey ski friends!  The ski season starts NOW!!  Memberships are now available (online here or printable form here).  Please don't disregard the volunteer requests--there is lots of work that goes into running and maintaining all that we have out at Onion Lake!

And the first volunteer opportunity is a WORK PARTY on Oct. 6.  Meet at the lodge at 10:00 a.m.  We have wood to cut and split for the winter, and some carpentry tasks, and trail work.  More details will follow, but mark your calendars now!

And later in October, on Tuesday, October 23, we'll hold our Annual General Meeting.  This is an excellent opportunity to hear from the executive and other directors and coordinators what the club has been doing this past year, and to be part of our plans for the upcoming season.  We will hold elections and would welcome new board members as directors-at-large.  And we will eat dessert.  That's the best tradition at an AGM!

Hi everyone! The last Ski Club news letter will be brief but well worth reading.

First and most important: The trails will be closed to public access this summer. This is because the commercial thinning begun last year down by the Dog Trail will continue north through the inside trails. Trucks will be exiting via the parking lot and past the garages. The Dog Trail is open but we advise parking on the Dog Trail itself, not on the Wedeen Forestry Road or in the parking lots.

Hello everyone! With the snow finally disappearing in town, and slowly thinning down at the trails, we’re starting to wrap up the season. 6 months of good skiing! Who’da thunk it?!
