Done Deal

That's a wrap!! The snowmobile trails were well packed/smooth lately to get in a last skate ski.Even though we got out to a slow start, some didn't even get going, we had good snow for the year and two significant March snow falls extended the season. The Loppet had a good turnout considering many didn't even get skis on this year. -28C last year and 3C this year(bit too warm) yet the same number of participants! Membership was down this year likely due to early season lack of snow. Nevertheless, there was a significant amount of trail traffic. Thank you to the many that did make a trail donation!There was a change in Park management and approach to trail grooming. As such the club didn't do any of the track setting this year except for the loppet. We continue to work with the Park to ensure safe, well prepped and fun regularly groomed trials.  If you have any questions or comments regarding the trail system/grooming or the club please reach out to myself or a club exective(DuckMountainNordicClub.ca). We welcome comments that will enhance one's experience.Thank youThat's a wrap!!
