January & February 2021

The 2021 Winter is in full force, both with snow & cold!

Here's a few updates on what's going on with the club:

Membership & Child/Youth Programming (Bunny/Jackrabbit Lessons)

• Membership sign-up & Youth Programming registration is available through Zone4 online: https://zone4.ca/reg.asp?id=24753.
• A *new perk* this year, all members will receive a community discount card that can get you some great deals at various local businesses during the winter ski season. (Participating businesses: LLB Modern Wears, Costa Cafe, Queen Bean, & LLB Sporting Goods). If you haven't received your discount card yet - let us know, send us a FB message.
• Older Youth / Adult Ski Lessons & Skill Development are available most Sundays at Shaw Lake, but like the youth programming will not occur if it is below -20*C. Be sure to check out our FB page for ongoing updates or send us a FB message and we will let you know directly when we have a day planned.

Special Events will continue to be held off

Rental Equipment

• The club's rental equipment of boots, skis, & poles is able to continue this season! The cost of a rental remains as a donation to the club, as we hope many people will try XC-Skiing this season and use the gear to access some beautiful winter trails in the area. If you're interested in arranging a rental, send us a FB message! 
• The rental gear is only available for a single or 2-day rental, as we have limited supply and want to be able to keep a good variety on hand. All gear will be sanitized & set-aside to rest between uses to ensure we are doing our due diligence in keeping everyone safe. 

Groomed Trails in the Area

• Sir Winston Churchill Provincial Park: loop road groomed with classic-track set. The other half of the roadway is cleared for winter walking. Interior trails & Old Growth trails (along lakeshore) are not groomed, and are most suitable for snowshoeing. 
• Beaver Lake Provincial Recreation Area - Group Use area: trails (approximately 5km total) groomed classic-track set. Parking is available along the roadway to the second gate. Please be sure to park along only one side to allow room for vehicles to turn around. 
• Shaw Lake Day Use Area, Lakeland Provincial Park: classic and skate-skiing trails (over 25km total, from beginner to advanced trails). The warming shelter is currently closed due to construction, however there are outdoor firepits that are available for use. 
• Ongoing updates on conditions & what's available for groomed trails can be found on our Facebook Page.
