Enjoy the conditions!

In spite of all the warm weather recently, the bit of snow we got last week has helped out a ton and conditions are pretty good. The group ended up at Waskahegan on Sunday, where conditions were good. The base is holding up, some debris on the trails but it was really nice to get out there. Thanks again to Mike for helping to lead!

The Wednesday ski is happening this week, for Sunday it will be an unofficial ski, see below for details. Keep your eye out for the email next week, we will have a post-holiday Zoom hangout in the New Year! 

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
• Ski groups must have 10 or less people and must socially distance (outdoor group physical activity is still permitted)

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, here) 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.


Sunday Ski December 27

• This won't be an official ENSC ski as the leaders take some time off during the holidays, but if people are interested in skiing with others in groups 10 or less, reply to this email and I can connect those who are interested. The location can be decided by those attending.
