Skiing and Sailing

Growing up my family skied. We went out west to the Rockies in Colorado, Wyoming and Canada pursuing our love of skiing as a family. In my hometown of Cazenovia, NY we belonged to the Cazenovia Ski Club.

In many ways, I am reminded of the ski club when I come to work at Chicago Sailing. By 4 pm each Saturday, most skiers would retire to the deck to throw their brats and burgers on the communal grill and open a beer, basking in the sunlight reflected off the A-frame's roof. (Well almost, Upstate NY is characterized by months-long periods of cloudy skies.)

A grill and beer sound familiar? Alan has already stocked the house boat for the first grilling of the season.

My father and I, and later my younger brother, took our skiing habit one step further converting to telemark skiing. With equipment, our club membership and ski vacations we had a very expensive family hobby. Was it worth it?
YOU BET!

Chicago Sailing is the summer version. All-ages take to the water, enjoying the sun and wind in their hair. And the best part about our company, we take care of the equipment. Our members get to show up and go enjoy fun and Lake Michigan without any hassle. (And no lift-lines.) Our boats are lined up and ready for the water. We hope you are too!
