Ski Buddies
For some time now we've been trying to think of a way that our members can identify each other while on the slopes. We've talked about arm bands,  things that tie around poles, even clothing with our insignia on it. Well, we think we have a solution. It's a sticker. Yes, a sticker.  With more and more people sporting helmets (a very good thing) what better place to identify that you're a proud member of the Upper Cape Ski & Sports Club.



Vests
Once again we'll be offering vests with our name printed on them. Red Blanchard, formerly of Village Ski and Sports Shop, has gracefully re-offered his connections to the vest manufacturer so that we can be warm all winter long.
