APRIL NEWS
Apr 7, 2010, 7:56 pm

Hello everyone! No, sorry this isn't an announcement telling you that skiing is cancelled due to high winds ... but don't you miss those?

There is some news to pass on :

1. SUNRIDGE SKI WEAR Pacesetter is once again giving us the opportunity to order KARBON ski jackets, pants and race suits. Sadly we are a bit late (how does this happen!). Lori has already placed an order but has indicated that she already orders some extras of the popular items. She did say that she might be able to squeeze in a few more items (and the race suits for sure!) if you call her and order by APRIL 16. On our DOWNLOADS section we have an order form that shows you styles, sizes and prices. Call Lori Paine 780-483-2005

2. LEVEL II Course OFFICIALS COURSE - it's never to early to Level Up

... From Mike Lemanski .... We are planning to hold a ACA Level II Officials Course on Saturday, April 24th. The Course Conductor will be Don Boyce. This course is required for anyone wishing to hold a Chief position at any race, and is recommended for people who have taken their Level I and worked course, gate judge, or hand timing positions since then. The course will be from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, with an exam at the end, and is currently planned to be held at the Percy Page Centre, 118 Avenue & Groat Road in Edmonton. This course is open to all ski clubs in the North Zone and registration must be sent in by April 17th. If we don't have enough attendants by this time, the course will be cancelled and not offered again until the fall of 2010. Potential attendants are welcome to get in touch with Mike Lemanski at the link below with any questions about the Level II Certification.

Where: Average Joe's In Sherwood Park

Our Annual Pub Night is right around the corner. Pub Night is a great way to get involved in the Club, to meet parents and coaches.

Cool Facts:


  • 2009 - Marks the 4th annual Pub Night.
  • Over the years Pub Night has raised over $30,000.00, which goes to offset costs of coaching, etc..
  • Average Joe's patrons have been asking management when the Sunridge Pub Night/Silent Auction is being held... why?... Because word is out that we throw a great Pub Night with lot of cool items and prizes (such as: Skis, Booze Baskets, Pet Baskets, Lift Tickets etc. 
  • Pub Night is successful because of parent participation.

Parent Obligation's include:

  • Purchasing 6 tickets @ $15.00 each and encouraging their friends and family to attend the event.
  • Donating a 26oz of liquor (or equivalent in wine... 2 bottles) for our annual Booze Cooler Raffle ... Tickets will be sold at the event and one lucky patron will be going home with a cooler full of premium bottles of liquor) 
  • Donating at least 1 - $50.00 gift to be used for the Silent Auction. I encourage people to talk to their network, it's amazing what happens when you mention to a company owner, your vet, or your dentist, that you Son/Daughter is part of a wonderful ski club that is holding a super cool PubNight/Silent Auction and we are looking for donations for the auction. To date we've obtained some great items! Many more to come!

Donations can be dropped off and tickets picked at 25 Cavan Crescent Sh.Park , or at the Saturday dryland session anytime BEFORE November 17th.

Call for Volunteers:

  • We are looking for a volunteer to host/organize the Silent Auction Basket Building Party.  This is an event that takes place the Friday night before PubNight, a group of parents get together to prepare the Silent Auction items for Saturday night.  With the number auction item's and my lack of an artistic bone it's a task that I can't complete without help.
