January 21-29, 2012: Glenelg Nordic & Owen Sound Ski Club members, wear your membership tag and ski each other’s trails at no charge. For directions and trail conditions, see www.owensound.org/ski The Introduction to the Trails planned for Saturday January 7 is rescheduled. If you are a new member and would like an introduction to the trails, please contact Marj and Blain Horsley at 519-986-4839 or bmhorsl@bmts.com to arrange a time to meet. The Moonlight Ski is rescheduled for Saturday February 4, 2012, at the home of Patsy and Bob James, 614583 Hamilton Lane (on the way to the Club’s parking lot).
Meet at 7:00 PM for moonlight skiing on the James’ trails followed by refreshments (pot luck) and a social time indoors. Please bring either an appetizer or a dessert and a beverage of your choice. RSVP to Patsy and Bob at 519-986-9987 or patsybob@cablerocket.com, indicating which pot luck option you plan to bring. We regret that only 40 people can be accommodated.

IF the weather and trail conditions are not suitable, you will be contacted and the Introduction will be rescheduled. We’re gearing up for a new ski season. Here is our Fall Newsletter. The word is that the 2011 event, at the home of Patsy and Bob James, was a great success. If you were there and brought along your camera, why not upload your photos here? Thanks to our members who contribute photos. Here are some recent ones that have been uploaded. Everyone can add their own just by clicking the link below! If you sign up and log in, you can also rate the photos you see and tell us which ones you like best. Well, not exactly famous, but there’s an interesting short article on our area in the latest issue of Edible Toronto magazine. GNSC gets a mention along with many interesting activities and new businesses in the area. (Thanks to Barbara MacKay for the tipoff.) Thanks to our members, here are some pictures of our trails. David Turner has updated the GNSC trail map to add the new trail and eliminate the ones that are no longer used. At the same time, I have created a new map of all the trails using a GPS device, which is posted alongside it below.
As you can see, the hand-drawn map is pretty accurate! (Except the trail down to Concession 6. But that’s so far south that criticizing its accuracy is like complaining that Capt. Scott didn’t really know where he was going in Antarctica!) As before, a bigger version of the map, and a printable version, are available form the Trail Maps page. If you would like to get the GPS map as a track that can be downloaded to your GPS device, let me know and I will see what I can do. |
