Then, next Tuesday, on the last day of the month, we're going on our long-awaited ski trip. Stay tuned for details of the prefit day. The location is Earl Bales Ski and Snowboard Centre (at Earl Bales Park--see map below) near Bathurst and Sheppard. There's free parking available, but those coming by bus should meet at the Sheppard Yonge Station's Bus Interchange to catch the westbound Bus Service 84 at 9 a.m. Don't be late! Skiing lesson ($21 per person) starts at 10 a.m., and everyone's free to enjoy the following:

1. Cozy fireplace in a chalet
