Cancelled for today

Coaches had a discussion about the huge winds and we are not skiing today!!! The published advisory was the last straw in terms our liability insurance.

Next week at Falcon: detailed schedule and map to follow later today

Sorry about the weather,

Jackrabbits in the park Sunday

Hey everyone,

Probably not the warmest March ski day we’ve had but at least there is snow!

We will be skiing Sunday March 3, 1:30, usual place!  It will be a bit windy so dress for wind.  Classic ski equipment as we will be touring around and skate skis probably won’t work that well: there are some hills on the other side of the river that look pretty good right now!

Also next week is the Falcon Lake expedition, meeting at Falcon Ridge ski area for 10:00 so that we can get skiing by 10:30. All ability levels are welcome here.  Pack a lunch or feast on  what the chalet has on the menu.  More skiing and tubing after lunch, off the snow by 3:30 so that we are home for dinner.  There is also a biathlon event on that day so some may be participating in that, or spectate and cheer as well!

Hot chocolate mugs reminder,

NO skiing today Sunday Feb 24

Well!  The wind woke me up at 5:00, causing me to look out the window, causing me to look at the weather forecast and when I saw gusts of 70 km, I began this message!

Sorry, but due to weather beyond our control, we are cancelling skiing today.

Boundary Trails Distance Challenge-February 23, 2019

The weather is shaping up to be BEAUTIFUL on Saturday!  If you’re still not quite sure what to do with the family (or yourself) this weekend, check out this link.  It’s a super fun, free*, family-friendly event outside the city in the wonderful Burwalde Woods.

Our family is attending (and have attended since our kids were quite little) and we always look forward to the abundant food available all day to boost the energy before, during, and after skiing.  (The ski trails are great, too. LOL)  You can come out and ski for as little or as long as you’d like.

If anyone would like a ride, Cory mentioned he has room for 3 passengers.  He’ll be traveling from Headingley, leaving around 7:00 am.  His contact information is:  Mobile:  204.588.8673  Email:  coryabaron@gmail.com

*Suggested donation of $10/person to cover costs of trail use, bathrooms, and a hot pizza lunch.

 

Thursday Night Headlamp Ski At Beaudry

Hi!

As in previous years we will do the Thursday night ski at Beautiful Beaudry Park, west of Headingley, in the dark with headlamps.  It’s a great experience!

Please meet in the parking lot no later than 6:50 so we can do a head count and start for 7:00, and bring a headlamp!

Classic skiing as there is no skate track,

Thanks,
Coach Ihor

 

Fast Rabbit Thursday ON!!

Hi!

Skiing at Windsor Park this Thursday, meet outside at the ski racks ready to go at 7:00 pm!  Skate technique is the theme, parents are welcome to pick up some tips,

For the Sunday session think about packing a small shovel as we will be moving snow for jumps and bumps!
