Nordic Pulse

Good morning Kimberley skiers and all those from around Western Canada.  On Friday to Sunday, we're hosting our biggest race of the year -- the Eastern Canadian Championships.  We have skiers from all over B.C, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Yukon, and Montana, from ages 6 to 70.  If you're volunteering, thanks very much.  If you'd like to come and watch, that's good too.  There will be some amazing skiing happening, and it will be VERY busy up here.  

The trails will be open to non-racers all weekend.  All trails are open today during Official Training Day.  Friday to Sunday, there will be a corridor beside Spruce and Meadow that will go to Iker's Landing.  All the trails south of Iker's (Snowbird, Trapline, Roy's Cut, Kinnickkinnick, Landsem, Larch Loops) are not affected by the race.  When accessing those trails, please obey race officials.  They will be doing their best to make sure that the racers and recreational skiers all stay safe.  The parking lot is full Friday to Sunday, but there is parking at the Trickle Creek Golf parking lot.  From there, you can catch a free shuttle that will bring you right up here.  The shuttle runs every 15 minutes from 7:00AM to 4:30PM on Friday and Sunday, and 7:00 to 5:00PM.  Take advantage of a service that will drop you right outside the kiosk.

It looks like our long-awaited snow will be starting tomorrow, so head out today and take advantage of the glorious sunshine.  The temps are about -6, which is perfect for a long ski under the blue sky.
