Chili Sunday on 11 January 2015 was a big success – about 50 people dropped in to share communal chili, buns and wonderful treats, in between skiing on freshly-groomed trails. We also celebrated the 80th birthday of Katharine Shewchuk, a ski club founder and our den mother. Here are some photos from the day.
