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!
THANK YOU: (and please click on the "read more" to finish the thank yous and to see some photos)

The who: anyone, all ages
The when: Sunday, March 3. Soup will be ready at 11 a.m., but will be available until 1:30. It's not a race, so stagger your arrivals. All draws and prizes will be done just after 2:00 p.m.
The cost: $10 per ticket, available at Sherwood Mountain Brewhouse this week, and then available on Sunday at the trails. For non-members, who will still need to purchase a day pass, we've dropped the adult day fee rate to $10.
Bonus: Great draw prizes for all in attendance (including a ski package from Geier Waste Services and All Seasons Source for Sports), and prizes for the best three poker hands for adults and the best three poker hands for juniors (19 and under).
Congratulations to all 89 skiers who registered for the Moose Marathon on Saturday! The sun was shining, the trails were in beautiful shape (thanks to the groomers who were packing and setting trails in the wee hours of the morning), the soups were delicious--it was an epic event. McBike & Sport in Smithers provided a bunch of draw prizes--thank you to Peter for that bonus parcel!
The results for this year's Moose Marathon are here and here. See you all next year!!
Our annual Moose Marathon is around the corner!
Mass start, free technique.
Distances: 1.5 km, 5 km, 10 km, 15 km, and 30 km
Register (name and race distance) by emailing Travis, or register in the lodge on race day before 10 a.m. All JackRabbits kids are automatically registered, but Travis needs to know the distance they are skiing. All other participants: race fee is $10, includes registration, chocolate bar at the finish line, and soup & bun for lunch. Race fee is payable (cash or cheque only) in the lodge prior to race.

Family Day in BC is Monday, Feb. 18. The rental shed will be open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. If anyone wants to organize something--potluck, wiener roast, activities, ski lessons, etc.--let me know and I will post it online and send out a message to the rest of our ski family.
AND as a fundraiser for the new rental shed (and maybe to start an annual event!?), we and Sherwood Mountain Brewhouse are organizing a "Sherwood Tour de Soup" for Sunday, March 3rd. 8 different restaurants in Kitimat and Terrace are making soup for this event, and we are planning a few other details that will make it fun for everyone. Mark your calendars and wait for details that will be sent out soon.
That's it! Stay tuned! And enjoy those trails!!
