Hi everyone!
Our newest ski club member signed up on March 15. And he's going to get his money's worth with the time that is left! How about all the rest of you ski club members? If you haven't been skiing much this year, do not despair, just grab your skis and get out there! The snow pack at the trails is quite deep and we will be skiing happily for weeks to come. New plan: work, ski, and bike, all in one day! Next day: some gardening, go for a hike, then ski!
This news update has three purposes:
1. To bring you news of the club in the March Newsletter. (Liz writes the BEST newsletters of any ski club!)
2. To bring you the final report on the Skiathon from February 27-28. An amazing event. A few photos included.
3. To bring you news and links for the online auction that the club is holding to raise money towards the purchase of new rental gear.
Please fulfill our deepest desires and read ALL THREE news bites.
ALL THREE.
#1 NEWSLETTER
The newsletter starts with the weather and the exceptional ski conditions. Then it moves into the realm of fundraising, for our grooming machines and for ski gear for the rental shed. (Many thanks to so many generous donors and the skiers who sought out pledges for up to 60 km!) The online auction is mentioned and more details will be in #3 below. Rental shed hours are listed until its last day: March 28. Summer....decks....lost and found....need more JackRabbits coaches...think snow (did she really say that?)

#2 SKIATHON February 27-28, 2021
All the details and the prize winners and donors and sponsors can be found on the skiathon document below. The pledges and donations brought in over $12,000 towards the purchase of the new tracked quad. These are the businesses who either donated prizes for the event or gave the club money for the quad. When you visit these businesses, give them a hi-five from the ski club! Sherwood Brewhouse
