Happy Fall everyone! What a busy summer it has been out at the trails! Community Forests has continued their commercial thin in and around the Dog Trail and have pushed through several more cross roads that we’ll be able to groom with the ginzu.

And so the season begins....we have one member signed up already, even before the official beginnning of fall!!

Membership forms:     online      paper (mail in)

Jack Rabbit registrations are not yet open, unless you sign up online for memberships.  Jack Rabbit paper registrations will be available in October.

The trails are waiting....for snow, and for you!!  Join us for another great ski season at Onion Lake!

Hi everyone! It’s me again! Checking in for the last time before the long summer nap. I think it’s called “estivation”.

Things you need to know for the summer are as follows:

Hah! See?! You’ve been laughing at me all these years but when I say “think snow”, it really does work! Three weeks ago we were almost ready to call it a season. Hills were getting thin and patches were appearing. And then 16 inches of new snow dropped on our heads and we were back in business for another month at least! A cruise around the Moose Highway on Wednesday found excellent spring skiing and the Dog is reported as excellent as well. OK, the Beaver is melting but skiing is still amazing!

And we’re finishing the year with 421 members! Which is a record. Well done us!

March 3 was an epic day:  clear sunny skies, fresh grooming, and hot soup!
