SWC Exhibits at Maple Ski Ridge Fall Festival 

On Saturday, October 11, dawn broke in the Rotterdam hills with frost on the ground and a decided fall chill in the air, but luck was with us as the sun broke out and created a beautiful fall day for the Maple Ski Ridge Fall Festival.

Schenectady Wintersports Club was the only ski club present to support Maple Ski Ridge with their Fall Festival which included a sizable craft fair and Auto Show. The Festival is critical to the annual funding of Maple Ski Ridge operations.  

SWC manned a “get-to-know us” booth with 12 member volunteers sharing the history and activities of our club.  The Festival seemed alive with young families and outdoor enthusiasts, most of which had no idea about our club, nor its long ties with legendary ski instructor Freddie Anderson and the instruction program at Maple Ridge.

In support of the Maple Ski Ridge instruction program, SWC raffled off a $300 Learn-to-ski Maple Ski Ridge Gift Certificate. The winner is Matthew Alexander who was presented the award after the festival.  The club is proud to have had this opportunity to help continue a vital area program.
