Change in the PAXC executive

 Hello everyone. Last Thurday was the club's AGM. Christian Renault has stepped down as PAXC president. Erin Whyte has decided to take this role, for which the rest of the executive is very grateful. Welcome, Erin! Erin has been ski school coordinator and registrar. The new executive is:

President: Erin Whyte

Secretary: Kathleen Mottershead

Treasurer: Tammy McCarthy

Registration: Alicia Berthiaume

Trail Maintenance: Steve Bursey, Christian Renault

Equipment: Damien McCarthy, Jean Pelchat

Members at large: Clay Deighton, Scott Nichol

There is still a need for a ski school coordinator and instructors.

Thank you to all the volunteers of the past season. Thank you to all the volunteers who have been there in the executive for so many years, and still at it. A lot of hours are spent in preparing the season, and having things run smooth.

Please do not hesitate to be part of the volunteers needed for trail maintenance in the fall.

Have a great summer!

Monday

The trails are still in good skiing condition.   Full snow coverage but some debris in patches.

The swamp crossing on the blue trail is passable and in excellent condition as of today. 

Easter

Classic tracks are set around the orange and blue trails for Easter Sunday. The tree has been removed from the orange / red trial past the purple junction.

 Ontario Ski Trails

Thank you to Dan Roitner at Ontario Ski Trails for including PAXC on their website. Check it out or even leave a review and photos on the PAXC trails so others will know what the trails are like in Pembroke. Also thank you to Ted Moryto (club member) for helping to make this happen.

We also have a link on the right side to navigate to Ontario Ski Trails.

Happy Skiing!

René Sauvé

It is with sadness that we say goodbye to René Sauvé.  He passed away on November 16th in Cornwall Ontario after a battle with cancer.  René was instumental in organizing and running many youth focused ski programs within our club.  He played a leadership role in running ski school, track attack and junior racing team programs.  René also ran the Jeanne-Lajoie ski team and races for highschool students in the area.

We are gratefull for his passion and tireless contribution and send our sympathies to the Sauvé family.
