Night Skiing Takes Place on Tuesday till Thursday Evenings
Night skiing has begun. Our light will be turned on so you can ski 3.5 km of lit trails, or with a headlamp. The lights are on until 9PM Tuesday until Thursday. Night passes and rentals are available for skate and classic skiing, and the chalet is open.
Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!
In the last 48 hours Santa gave the club a big present. Lots of snow. We are calling out the heavy artillery to groom, and the skiing should be great this week. Snowshoe trails are covered in powder. Telemark is open from 9-4 PM, until further notice. We are open 9-2 PM on Christmas Eve, and closed for Christmas December 25th. Open again on Boxing Day for the season. Merry Christmas everyone!
Club History Book Updated
Emile has just updated our history book. It is an interesting read — from the first ticket booth to construction of the lodge. Navigate to this history page and download the pdf.
Enjoy.

We have snow, the trails are groomed, and the place is rocking! Only one month left to train for our Apple Loppet. Seize the moment and join your like-minded colleagues in the new Telemark Masters program! On-snow starts this Saturday (December 16). Our fantastic new coaches Bryana and Greg are a ton of fun to work with. You will really enjoy yourself and your skiing will quickly move to a new level.
Click here to watch Bryana and Greg present a brief over view of the program. They were previously responsible for arguably the best masters program in Canada at Lappe Nordic in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Now they are here and we can’t believe our good luck.
