Club Update

Thank you to all of the staff, volunteers and participants who helped make the Moonlit ski so wonderful! The night was perfect; everyone’s laughter and smiles were joyous, the hot apple cider flowed until it ran out, and the smores were a hit.

We raised over $1200, thank you for all of your generous support!

Thursday Night Ski Socials

Thursday night adult drop-in social skis begin this week! Bring your headlamp!

Meet at Apex at 5:45pm to pay any fees, skiing starts at 6 pm with certified CANSI instructors leading the group, offering the odd tip along the way. Bring some tea and snacks, and socialize in the Apex Hut around the fire afterwards.

Help us build our Nordic ski community. Come for a ski, have a tea, chat for a while, get out of the house on a weeknight. And build your skills while you’re at it.🙂
