Ski School Report:
The 2021 ski school season ran as a virtual challenge offering a series of self-directed activities over 8 weeks for both novice and intermediate skill levels. We had 2 families who completed the full challenge (5 children and 4 adults respectively) plus a number of kids/parents who completed individual challenges. The initiative was also picked up and shared provincially with other clubs. Overall, it was a successful way to manage the COVID-19 pandemic uncertainties experienced over the past season and provided membership with a fun, informative, and skill-based alternative while other club programs experienced shutdowns due to the winter lockdown in Ontario.
For the 2022 ski season, we are returning to regular on-snow classes over an 8-week season (7 lessons, 1 week break) starting Saturday, January 15th running until March 5th. We are
recruiting volunteer coaches and are looking to hold our first planning meeting on Thursday,
November 18th from 7-8pm on Zoom. If interested in joining the ski school team as a volunteer coach, please contact Erin for more details at erinwhyte189@gmaill.com. No experience is necessary. PAXC will fund NCCP community coach (level 1) training for you to get you started.
