16 Hours ‘Till Early Bird Expires

Posted by

You only have until midnight tonight (Oct 31, 2017) to get your 2017/18 membership at early bird prices AND to get your name in the draw for this $100 bad boy from MEC.

Telemark is currently winning the Cross Country BC provincial membership drive, but we have another 30 days to go and Caledonia (Prince George), Sovereign Lake (Vernon), and Larch Hills (Salmon Arm) are all fighting hard to overtake us.   Tell your neighbours, friends, co-workers, and extended family to purchase an annual membership so they can join our little Nordic wonderland.

The trail guys have been working like mad to get all the trails in top condition for early December opening.  We have some new intermediate trail options (cut-offs from the Rabbit trail) and 2 brand new dog-legal ski and snowshoe trails.

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: Larch Hills’ surge continues, passing Sovereign Lake and then Caledonia in the last few days, and they’re now hot on the heels of Telemark, last year’s winner, for first place. Larch Hills’ momentum might be stemming from their new chalet expansion? Good luck to all.
