One of the standout changes for the club this year was our brand-new logo, designed by the talented Brent Manke. This logo not only adorns our new trail maps but also represents a harmonious blend of classic aesthetics and modern design. As you explore our trails this season, keep an eye out for our fresh logo.

The club is proud to reveal new map kiosks positioned at key junction on our trails. They were paid in part by grand money and were built and installed by the skilled SRSS carpentry students under the expert supervision of Paul Wilson. They encountered installation challenges due to a late spring snow that made delivering and post pounding a challenge. Despite the hurdles, they persevered and made our kiosks a reality, ensuring you have the best trail navigation experience. The maps are also updated and incorporate a number system that helps trail users identify numbered junctions on the map with numbers on the actual map kiosk.

Thanks to our dedicated volunteer coaches, we were able to offer a series of all-ages learn-to-ski workshops. These workshops have introduced many newcomers to the joys of cross-country skiing and have nurtured new talent within our club. A big shoutout to our incredible coaches for their expert guidance!

This season, we introduced a  Weekly Wednesday Night Ski at Quarry Oaks. Under the leadership of Greg Penner, our club members donned headlamps and skied through the oak trees, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. Evening skiing was followed by hot chocolate and visiting in the parking lot. Despite the inherent challenge of coordinating perfect weather every Wednesday, things went well for the most part.

Sandilands Ski Day continued to thrive under the stewardship of Merle and Yvonne Hiebert, with the invaluable help of dedicated volunteers. It was another successful event that brought our members together for a day of fun on the trails, delicious food, and shared memories.

Approximately forty- four skiers enjoyed a great ski, excellent home- made food and visits with fellow skiers at the Sandilands Ski Day in late February. Ken Reimer spoke at the event as we celebrated our 30th year as a ski club. The cloudy day with temperatures hovering around 13 degrees made a perfect day for the ski and the celebration.
