Club AGM – Work Party and BBQ Social this Saturday

Posted by

Come join the fun on Saturday, Nov 2nd and help us get ready for winter.  We are hosting a work party from 9:00 AM until noon to…split firewood,  do some trail maintenance  and accomplish a few other odd jobs before the snow flies.

We will break at noon for a BBQ Social.  The Club will provide drinks, fresh fruit and of course BBQ hotdogs, and hamburgers.

The Telemark Annual General Meeting will be right after lunch at 1pm.  The AGM is a great opportunity to meet our new and old board of directors and find out what is going on in the Club.

For more information please phone 250-707-5925 or email mike.edwards@telemarknordic.com

We hope to see you there.

Let’s Help our Friends at Larch Hills!

Posted by

Larch Hills Nordic is a finalist in Kraft Heinz Project Play 2019. They could win $250,000 towards a trail lighting project but they need the entire ski community to get behind them and vote.  In 2016 Canada’s ski community got behind Nakkertok Nordic’s Project Play bid and they won $250,000 for a snow making project.  We can do the same now to help Larch Hills. Helping each other can only make skiing stronger in BC and it builds good karma too.

Voting takes place on the Kraft Heinz Project Play website from 9am Friday Oct 18th to 9am Sunday Oct 20th. Multiple votes are allowed and encouraged.  Please consider spending up to an hour this weekend putting in as many votes as you can.
