As already noted, our Teck #2 Northern Cup race for Saturday Jan. 31 is cancelled due to lack of snow.  The rental shed will not be open until we get more snow out at Onion Lake.  And adult lessons will wait for a well-groomed stadium.  So, HANG IN THERE!  All this extra moisture might turn into snow when the temperature drops!?? 

Very unfortunately, the Snow Valley Open and the second race in the Teck Northern Series has been cancelled due to a severe lack of snow and continuous rain.  We apologize for any inconvenience that this causes.

Hi everyone! I realize it might not seem like ski season but none the less, people are skiing. Avoiding rocks, but they are enjoying it! So come on out and join us! It’s better than a sweaty old gym.

Happy New Year everyone! We’re finally starting up our great new season! It took a while but it looks like the snow is here to stay this time! The plan is to start grooming with the PistenBully this coming weekend and Rabbits is already underway. Don’t forget that adult lessons are available on Saturday mornings too. So let’s get out and enjoy the winter!

I’d like to start this newsletter by welcoming two new Directors-at-Large onto the board.

Dan was out for a ski, and this is his report:

Saturday December 20^th 3pm

Skied Beaver, OK for Classic. New snow overnight.

Cliff packed the Beaver with the Yamaha this afternoon, made 4 passes, some twigs, a few rocks, some puddles and a couple of thin spots.

Temperature plus +1C rain showers. Parking lot is cleared.

Worth the trip if you are just happy to get out on the trails.

 Thanks to Cliff for packing the trails, and to Dan for the ski update!

Important message from Dean, who was grooming some trails late this afternoon:

Packed the Beaver, Snow Bound, 0.5, Sprint, Troll and Doggie. Pretty good actually, there is rocks and sticks showing through of course but very skiable....

We're getting there, but it's not quite enough snow yet!  The groomers are ready to start packing the trails, as soon as they are able.   If anyone can do anything about getting us a few more feet of snow, go for it!

Hi everyone!  A few things have come up so we thought we’d send out a quick note to everyone.  The weatherman says it’s going to snow next week so that anxiety is taken care of.  (That’s a joke.J)  The PB blew its alternator but it’s fixed now and all the machines are running.  We’ve got a contractor lined up to plow the parking lot as well so those are the two start-of-season biggies taken care of.

We will be doing rentals for Rabbits families only on Saturday, Dec. 13 starting at 1 pm....

If you are in the market for new cross-country ski gear, waxes, brushes, corks, irons, ski boxes, clothing, etc.....

Hello Everyone! It’s great to see the snow creeping down the mountains and weather office predicting snow this week at ski level! You’ll be glad to know that the grooming crew has been tuning up the machines and we’ve had some very successful work parties which (besides much else) got a new deck put on the Rabbits storage hut and some boards replaced on the lodge deck as well as restacking that enormous wood pile. We still have split wood for sale if you or anyone you know wants to stock up.
