PINELLAS PARK – The Clearwater-St. Petersburg Ski & Sports Club is getting ready for another year of snow and cold.
Better known as the Snow Sharks, local Floridians have lined up trips to Colorado, Utah, British Columbia and even Italy.
“We are the second largest ski club in the nation,” said Pinellas Park’s District Fire Chief Louis Sclafani. “We are only behind Texas in size.”
Sclafani said many new members and especially children have never experienced snow.
“It’s fun to watch them,” he said. “Adults act like little children the first time they see snow,” he said.
