Trail And Grooming Updates

March 10, 2025

Good Morning;

The time is 7:15 am and the temperature is -1c, we had some precipitation overnight and a light dusting at the top of Clearwater. Today will be a mix of sun and cloud with highs around +7.

Grooming is complete on Cottonwood/Rail grade, Apex loop, and clearwater including the loops. Busk – Euphrates is underway and night loop will complete the circuit.

Have a happy Monday and come enjoy a lunch time ski:)

WARNING!

Please not that there are periodic detonation of explosives in the hills above Apex, as the land owner is doing some work. Sometimes you may hear a warning siren, but most time we have not, and the detonation can be startling.

Way to Go Aleah and Maya!

We are thrilled to congratulate Aleah Smith and Maya Abraham from the Nelson Nordic Ski Club on their selection to the 2025 B-Tour Program in Sweden! 🇸🇪❄️

These talented athletes will be among the 12 athletes representing the program from March 25 – April 6, 2025. We couldn’t be more proud to have Aleah and Maya representing our club on the international stage! 🌟

What a difference a year makes! Thanks to your support, we’ve made strides in enhancing our trails. This year, we successfully completed significant upgrades to a bridge & made improvements to several sections of our trails, ensuring a safer, smoother & more enjoyable experience for everyone.

But we’re not stopping there—there’s still more work to do!

In the coming year, we’re focused on addressing key challenges and improving the quality of our trails to meet our long-term vision. We’ve just received approval to fix a troublesome section of trail that has struggled with low snow conditions, & we’ll continue to raise the bar on trail quality with additional upgrades, including:

  • Enhancing drainage on low-lying sections
  • Smoothing out uneven trail sections for better skiing
  • Addressing problem areas affected by low snow conditions

Planning is ongoing for our long-term goal to expand our trail system, and we are working on securing approvals and funds for the next phase, with initial project estimates upwards of $270k.

With your help, we can keep improving and expanding our trail system! Donate now & you’ll receive a tax receipt for your contribution.​
