A very generous round applause for our President, Daniela Wiunig, she keeps the wheels moving and all the balls in the air. She is absolutely amazing how she manages the operations of the lodge as well as running a full life. Thank you for holding the vision of the ski hill for the community and doing all that you do and more. Without you, we would all be a little lost and are indebted to your time and energies. On behalf of your community, thank you. Dedicated volunteers like you are diamonds that sparkle.![]()

SKI CLUB PRESIDENT REPORT 2021![]()
![]()
2021 was a year of not enough snow to ski on our favourite little hill and not many events could be held because of COVID-19. A few weddings, celebration of life were held late summer beginning of fall as well the music evening what was a good turnout after so many months not able to gather. It sure was a different year. But also a very successful year thanks to you all directors what put time and effort into it! It all takes a team to get this done and your willingness to spend time for the ski club is something you all should be very proud of yourselves. Each of you put work into with either finding the time and writing the grant, helping searching for prices, comparing prices, investing the time to go and talk to people or simply trying out the products to get a feel for it.![]()

We are very grateful to Wells Gray Community Forest who continually support the lodge and the community. Their funding along with the funds from Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association were exactly what we needed to start the lodge improvements. To receive the Community Economic Recovery Infrastructure Grant made it possible for us to take on some big update improvements. We also want to make special mention to North Thompson Community Foundations, their grants funding assisted in ways that other funding couldn’t and even though we couldn’t ski, the insurance still had to be paid. They made it possible. To CN, thanks for looking out for us! And to Interfor, thank you! Thanks to these Grants and donations the Ski hill was able to:![]()

We literally have never seen so much money floating into our account and being able to replace so much is just wonderful. The lift got another fix for this year, it seems like a never ending treatment but we still can call it the fastest T in the West.![]()
The firewood donated from Wadlegger Logging and Leyco Transport (Bruce Leyden) was done quite fast, we had a few nice strong volunteers coming out and lending us a hand! You all are very much appreciated! We recently just got more firewood donated from Wadlegger Logging and Leyco Transport! Sure amazing how these guys look after us year after year!! Thank you!![]()

As part of the ski club we as a director constantly have to look how to make money to pay for the many big bills like insurance, lift updates, maintaining the lodge, maintaining the groomer, licenses, propane, just to name some plus on top brushing the hill, getting firewood done there is always something to do and it would not happen without all of your help. Thank you! ![]()

I do like to say a big thanks to Agneta, the ski club Treasurer who looks after the smallest item what we wouldn’t even think of, even if we don’t like it but I’m sure glad she does. You are very much appreciated Agneta! As well her husband Jeff Orum who often came out and quietly worked on things in and around the lodge what just all of a sudden was done. Either he had to fix a wall, fixed the many broken chairs, made some basket for the bathrooms just to name a few things we appreciate it very much!![]()
I also like to say a big thanks to Wayne Sim who always is ready and eager to come out and lend a hand with anything and that with joy! ![]()

We are also welcoming Denica Kelly as our new lodge rental Manager. Robin Earle did a fantastic job as the previous lodge rental Manager but just got too busy with her work.![]()
Two of our directors Amber and Stephanie are re-signing. Thank you to Amber and Stephanie for their work and contribution. Thank you also to Raft River staff and students who make use of the disc golf course.![]()

I'm definitely hoping we will have a lot of snow this coming season so that we are able to ski on our little hill and I'm excited for the Night skiing with the new lights and hopefully we all can live life with lots of gatherings so that we can show off to all of our guests the updates we have done. ![]()
