On November 10, the Champaign Ski Club Board reviewed the applications for the Anyone Can Ski program.  We agreed that all of the applicants were deserving of a trip to Winter Park!  We then made the decision to support two disabled skiers on the trip this year instead of just one.  The winners were selected by a random drawing.  
 
Our first winner is Allison Potts (right) from Champaign.  Allison is 11 ½ years old.  She has been involved in all kinds of activities such as swimming, horseback riding and dancing to strengthen her muscles but has never had the opportunity to go skiing. She is looking forward to learning to ski, starting with the “sit ski”.  Her dad, Mike, will be traveling with her.  They both agree that the train ride will be “awesome”.

Our second winner is Taylor Morefield (left) from Mahomet.  Taylor is 15 years old and has skied once before on a bi-ski.  She said she would absolutely love the opportunity go to skiing again.  Her goal is to learn the mono-ski.  She feels it will challenge her more and give her more speed.  Taylor is active in wheel chair basket ball and will be participating in wheel chair track this year.  Taylor will be traveling with her dad, Jerry.

Congratulations to Allison and Taylor!!
