The Chisholm Ski Club would like to compliment all the skiers, coaches, and fans for their great attitude as we battled with Mother Nature, snow melt and yes, an extremely muddy parking lot. In the end, we pulled it off and had a great Championship. Special thanks go out to Isabel Caldwell and NENSA for helping to organize and present a great event.
