Hey ski friends! Brrrrr! Seems kind of cold and no snow on the ground to make the most of the sub-zero temperatures! Wouldn’t it be great to be skiing in November? (Just don’t say that too loud if you are in mixed company of skiers and non-skiers!)
First on the AGENDA of this newsletter: AGM Thursday, November 16 6-8 p.m. at Sherwood Brewhouse Hall 4816 Hwy 16 W., Terrace Live music (featuring The Craic) will start at 6:00, meeting will start at 6:30-ish and will be followed by more music and time to socialize and be with (or meet new) winter friends. There will be snacks and the opportunity to purchase beverages (beer, pop, water, etc.). See POSTER for more details and better graphics.
Ski Swap on Saturday, Nov. 4th!
46th Annual Ski Swap Kitsumkalum Hall
(14295 Hwy 16W, Terrace)
If you are looking for used Nordic gear, or have Nordic gear you might want to sell at this event, the details for shopping and for consignment are on the poster. The Club is selling off some of the rental gear (boots, poles, skis) so there will be a good selection of Nordic gear.
SVNSC will also have a table at the ski swap, so stop in to say hi, and enter our draw for a package of stroopwafels.
We are also looking for volunteers to sit at the table for a few hours, to talk with the people, and to answer questions about Nordic gear. If this is something you would like to do, email snowvalleynordic@gmail.com
Work Party on Nov. 5th In case you think you’ve missed out on a fall work party, you haven’t! Sunday, November 5th, starting at 10 a.m., meet at the lodge. Dean has a few projects he’s dreamed up, including some trail pruning, and the perpetual need for bucking, hauling, and splitting wood for our lodge, shelters, and fire pits. We will provide lunch. On that note, are there any volunteers for making soup or sweets? Email Cathy: snowvalleynordic@gmail.com
