The Countdown Begins... F
rom a very young age, I can remember that I was always counting down the days to something. Whether it w a s m y b i r t h d a y, school trip, summer vacation, the hours
Long Term Forecast Friday High 7 Low 1 Saturday High 7 Low -1 Sunday High 4 Low -2 Monday High 5 Low -3 Tuesday High 6 Low -3 Wednesday High 6 Low 0
from Christmas Eve until Christmas morning or even just the days until Saturday morning cartoons. As the years have passed not much has changed. I still count down the days to most of those things, well except my birthday. I NEVER count down the days until that anymore! There is in recent years something new that I've started counting...The days until Old Man Winter settles in and hopefully a TON of snow to go with it!
I know some of you are already dreading it...the cold, the shoveling, starting your car in the morning and the layers and layers of clothes to keep warm. But for some of us, this signifies the beginning of our short, but sweet ski season. The Chapleau Ski Club is run by a volunteer Board of Directors and though it is not open when there is no snow, it takes year round thought, care and preparation to make it a successful
community organization! Through much fundraising, donations from businesses and community members, trail sponsorships and volunteer hours we are able to keep this “diamond in the rough” open in Chapleau. Without these, we would not be able to accomplish this and the Ski Club Executive would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that has contributed to keeping us alive! In past years, the Chapleau Ski Club
has held spaghetti suppers, penny sales, basket raffles, ski-athons, barbeques and grocery raffles. In order to keep the ski hill active this year we have some events already planned. Please add these dates to your calendar and come and support our Ski Club. Fall Clean Up/Work Bee : O c t ober 19th 9:00am to ??
