February 2019

It's still winter in the area, and we've been skiing a lot! The warm days were welcomed in January, however that pesky rain/melting is a bit of a burden on grooming. Our grooming volunteers are working on getting the trails all back into great shape, and with more snow in the forecast, they're looking to keep up and work on them more.

Our club has decided to shift around a few dates from our prior calendar of events, and we're excited to have the remaining lessons all at Shaw Lake Day Use Area for Sundays: February 3, February 24, & March 3.

The Ski Lesson & Community Ski originally planned for Sunday, February 10 will be lessons & a ski tour around at Caslan School. The club will not have the extra equipment available on-site that day, but if you'd like to rent some in advance for this event, or other ski days contact Kim at 780-623-4894 and arrange sizes & pick up. Members & non-members are welcome to meet for a ski that day from 2pm - 4pm.

Sunday, February 17th will be the free family Fun in the Snow event, with Lac La Biche Ski Club, Alberta Parks, the LLB Lions Club, & food sponsorship from Britton's Independent. This is always a great day full of outdoor recreation, free hot-dog roast, horse-drawn sleigh rides, and more! (see attached poster).

Our club year-end wind up event will be held on Sunday, February 24 with ski lessons & a community ski at Shaw Lake Day Use Area. We welcome everyone to come celebrate the amazing skills our BunnyRabbits & JackRabbits have developed over the season, and to enjoy an afternoon skiing for themselves too. This event is open to members & non-members with extra equipment available for use.

Lastly, we'd like to thank everyone who's taken time to register to be a club member, volunteer & help at our events so far, our coaches & groomers - you've all done a fantastic job! There's still plenty of skiing left this winter, so if you're interested in becoming a member of our club, feel free to register online at https://zone4.ca/reg.asp?id=18641. We encourage people to register as club members as it helps our club show the use of the trails & individuals interested in skiing when we apply for grants & sponsorships.
