Thank-you to our amazing community of Nordic Skiers. With a sudden flurry over the last 10 days of the fundraiser, the Williams Lake Cross Country Ski Club closed the campaign in 9th place Nationally and in 5th place Provincially. Funds raised locally were $7,995 and with the matching funds from Nordiq Canada a net benefit to our Club of $8,995. This is amazingly good news for our club, which will help us to leverage funding for expanding and improving our facilities and programs. We are extremely grateful for and excited by your support.

It was a great success!  Over the 48 hours, 48 laps of 7.4 km were recorded.  That is over 355 km skied over the sunny weekend.  Fastest time was Anika W. at 29 min 17 sec.  Lap times under 40 minutes were completed by Tim P, Glen D, Roy K, Bev R, Julianne T, and Nadia W.

Random draw prizes have been done and winners have been contacted.  A big thank you to Cycle Logic, Red Shreds, CCBC and Williams Lake Cross Country Ski Club for donated prizes.

Thank you to all the skiers who participated in this event to wrap up a fun ski season.  And a huge thank you to the groomers who put down a great ski surface that lasted all weekend despite some challenging end-of-season weather conditions.

If you want immediate updates to grooming status take a look at this new app that we have been invited to Beta test. The app is updated as groomers work, so take a look and plan your ski (see March 3/21 email)! The first date on the time stamp indicates the trail has been groomed and the second that is has been track set.

The Williams Lake Cross Country Ski Club is now seeking a sponsor for this app which will include a linked logo to the sponsors website. It is our hope that we can fine tune the app to our trails over the next few weeks and have it up and running for next season. Please send any feedback, questions or sponsorship interest to info@williamslakecrosscountryski.ca.

Bull Mountain ski trails are now on Trailforks.  Download the app on your phone and have access to maps and be able to track your ski while you are on the trail!

We now have approximately 5 km of designated dog trails with a newly added section of good uphill and downhill.

Our dog trails are signed at the parking lot and new signage has been placed at the trail junctions.  You are welcome to bring up to two dogs per skier.  Information regarding skiing with your dog is posted at the parking lot and in our dog use policy.  Our second parking lot (enter main parking lot then connect to it by turning right) gives you direct access to the dog trails.

Kal Tire is once again sponsoring the SDP program, and has given all club members a $100 coupon towards the purchase of winter / all-weather tires.  (Must be purchased & installed by September 30).  Find your coupon in the recent Cross Country BC magazine or online at crosscountrybc.ca Thanks, Kal Tire!
