Hoping for more snow...

Due to poor conditions at Bunchberry, we changed the location on Sunday to St.Albert and had a great ski there. Still hope to get some more snow soon! Thanks again to Mike and Bill for help leading the group!

A reminder of the changes we've made due to COVID this year:

• No organized carpool for ski events 
• No coffee after Wednesday evening skis
• COVID symptom online form required to be filled out by each skier before ski events - see link below
• We will ensure ski groups are 10 or less people

Club Membership
Recreational Ski Group members are strongly encouraged (and required for Sunday skis) to purchase an Edmonton Nordic Ski Club membership for $20 on Zone4. This supports the club and the wonderful grooming and snow making provided by the club. If you are unable to purchase this or want to try out a rec ski event before buying a membership, please let me know as alternative options are available. Membership also gives you 10% off at local ski shops (Fast Trax and Track N Trail)! 

COVID symptom check - online form
Before attending any rec ski events, an online symptom checklist will be required to be filled out by all participants. If you have any symptoms listed, then you should not attend the event.
The form is here.

Wednesday Group Ski 
We will be skiing at Gold Bar, leaving the Gold Bar lodge (just South of the parking lot) at 7PM sharp. We will ski for 1-2 hrs. Join us to check out the trails, see old friends and make new ones. Ensure you fill out the COVID symptom check before the event.
