Sadly, on Friday, December 4th, the Chisholm Ski Club lost one of its dearest members as Club President Joe Sassi lost his battle with cancer. Joe was a loving father, husband, and friend to all who had the pleasure of knowing him. He was a constant presence at the starting gate at Black Mountain of Maine nordic races. He will be sadly missed.
