Only 5 weeks left in the Club Membership Contest. Here are your latest standings:
• Group A: Will anyone catch Telemark or will it be back-to-back victories? Shuffle in the chase pack for second. Sovereign Lake has made a massive move in the past week and is now ahead of Caledonia for the first time. They’ve also regained their edge on Larch Hills, whose recent surge seems to have slowed down. And how will Kimberley fare? It’s worth noting that Kimberley had almost 1,100 members last year… absolutely incredible for a city of only 7,400 people!

Salomon is now also supporting the Club Membership Contest, with skis, poles, and a whole lot of swag! Check out the details and full list of sponsors here. Updated standings:
• Group A: Telemark’s momentum continues, having passed Sovereign Lake last week and Caledonia this week, and they’re now in first place. As mentioned last week, Sovereign Lake and Caledonia were the two largest clubs in Canada last year, and they have a friendly wager on who will be the largest this year. But at the rate that Telemark grew last year, might they both lose this wager?
