Bulkley Valley Cross Country Ski Club

Was a bit optimistic about the sun but the trails are great

A dusting of fresh snow overnight, looks like the PistenBully has gone out, sun is coming out, not too coldgoing to be a great day for skiing!

A good freeze overnight and a touch up of the skate lane this morning made for some great skiing this morning.

Has anyone found a pair of ski poles in the upper parking lot last week. They fit a 5’4 person for classic skiing. PLEASE let me know.

There is a week left in the Nordiq Canada annual fundraiser, https://bvnordic.ca/donate Thanks to everyone who has donated so far! We have surpassed our goal to pay the remaining balance on the tracked quad used as an auxiliary groomer. The excess funds will be put towards construction of a heated garage for our main grooming machine. More details on these projects can be found here, https://bvnordic.ca//club-fundraiser-still-growing-campaig Another anonymous donor has come forward via Cross Country BC to encourage donations to BC clubs before the fundraiser ends on March 19th. The club who receives the most donations between March 10th and 19th will get an extra $1000 and the club with the second most donations will get an extra $500. So if you haven't already donated now is a great time to do so!

Looking very tropical!

Greetings everyone, hopefully everyone has been getting out and enjoying the spring like conditions. As the end of the season is coming into view, we’d like to get your feedback on a variety of club topics via a brief survey. At just over 1100 members this season, over 50% more than we’ve ever had in the past, there is a wide range of new and old members and we’d like your feedback on how you use our facilities and programs; what we have done well and what we can improve on.... We will use the results of this survey to inform our decision making on how to use our limited resources of volunteer time and club finances. Thank you to everyone who did the Cross Country BC survey recently. This new survey is specific to our club so please take the time to complete it even if you have already done the CCBC one. The survey will take approximately 8-12 minutes of your time and we will accept submissions until midnight, March 31st. https://bvnordic.surveysparrow.com/s/bv-nordi/tt-f573caf54e

Full moon and lightly snowing. Great conditions for a night ski.

Reminder that the staycation scavenger hunt started yesterday and runs through the 31st. Scavenger item lists are available at the lodge, outside near the office window.

The U14s getting ready for a chilly 3.5km classic time trial. Spirits were high despite the low temps

Great late November conditions

We know everyone is excited to get out on the trails this weekend. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the latest PHO order to significantly reduce travel and social interactions https://www2.gov.bc.ca//covid-19-provincial-s/restrictions Stick to your household/core bubble (unless in an official team practice), maintain 2m distance from people outside of your household/core bubble while in the parking lot and on the trails. Wear a mask in any of our buildings, sanitize your hands, and observe occupancy limits. Enjoy the skiing!!

Mother Nature has been kind to us and we will be opening the Nordic Centre this Saturday! Visit our website for season passes, more information on which trails are open, and our COVID-19 safety plan (wear a mask inside please).

Great story about one of our athletes Leah Marie.
