What's Happening out at Onion Lake? And....do you want to buy a Snow Valley Nordics hoodie?

What a month January has been! Amazing ski conditions, mild weather, and lots of people getting out to the trails! This is a brief update and opportunity:

Ski North gear now available:

Some of you may have seen ski club members wearing hoodies with a Snow Valley Nordic Ski Club logo on the front and the locally-designed Ski North logo on the back. We have once again been offered the opportunity to order items with these logos. Hoodies, base layers, toques, and trucker caps are all available, from Smokescreen Graphics (Smithers) through their online store: https://stores.inksoft.com/ski_north_cross_country_team/shop/home

All orders must be placed by February 8th at midnight.

Please note: to order items with both Snow Valley and Ski North logos (hoodies and base layers), click on the Snow Valley Nordic Ski Club. To order toques and trucker caps, or other items with only the Ski North logo), stay on the main page and scroll down to see all the options. There will be no shipping charges as all Snow Valley Nordics items will be brought to Terrace/Kitimat and distributed by club members. Email Amy (SVNSC coach) if you have any questions: amyklepetar98@yahoo.com
