In fall of 2017 cutbacks in funding forced Sustainable Resources to eliminate the service of mowing the ski trails each fall in Sandilands Forest. Strong winds brought many trees down across the ski trails. Crews of volunteers from Sandilands and Charleswood Ski Clubs, worked hard to clear away deadfall and brush mow the trails, and reroute a section of trail in preparation for the ski season. Despite a low snow season, the club experienced an excellent ski season (mid-December to early March) and a record number of day use skiers used the trails.
