Panorama Lantern Ski Returns
We invite you to join us on Sunday February 19, for a family friendly candle light ski hosted at Panorama Nordic Centre.
As with last year, the trail along the Placer will be lit. This year’s event will also include the Paradox trail, which is suitable for families who wish to join.
The event is free for skiers with the Tri-Area pass or Panorama Nordic passes and open to all ages.
Volunteers Needed
We are looking for several volunteers to help make the evening a great success.
Specifically we need at least four people to help set up and take down the candles, store the candles and make sure the bon fires are put out and any garbage is packed out at the end of the event. The candles will be moved via a sled pulled by one skier. Set up begins at 3:30 and take down will be around 8:30 and is anticipated to take roughly 1.5 hours. A couple of people are also needed to stay at Grey Wolf to help direct skiers and give trail information as people head out. We also need to get firewood to the bon fire areas.
If you are interested in volunteering, please reach out to Info@tobycreeknordic.ca

It was swept for ice skating today but was getting soft by the time the clearing was done.
If we can avoid using it while it’s warm, it is less likely to be damaged when it cools over night.
If you see people using it or posting about using it, please keep your comments respectful. Many people simply do not know and are not intentionally trying to wreck it for others.

The skate skiing was groomed yesterday and the classic tracks are still in good shape from the last grooming.
The conditions for ice skating are best on the main loop but a reminder there are cracks and rough patches along the way. The Chabot loop isn’t recommended for skating right now as it’s very bumpy. As always, please use caution.

The Whiteway was swept for ice skating today and the classic tracks were freshened up.
The Skate ski lane is not as great as the classic lane.
A walking lane is in place and we do ask that people please NOT walk on the classic groves or the skate corduroy. Skiers are limited to where the skiing is best, whereas walkers have so many choices, including the lane Brad creates on the outside edge of the ice skating lane.
Thank you to everyone who makes a trail head donation or purchases their membership to help with grooming efforts.

The classic skiing is in better shape than the skate lane.
Sadly the area near Kinsmen Beach has already seen lots of foot track and the odd vehicle but the further you get out, it wasn’t as travelled by midday.
There wasn’t enough fresh snow to add a classic track up at Lillian and the Johnson but it has been packed for skate skiing and walking.
We hope everyone gets out to enjoy while the weather holds.
A big thank you to everyone who has made trail head donations or purchased their club memberships: this helps support grooming efforts.

After all the snow, and many rounds of plowing, Brad got the Whiteway all ready for ice skating today!
There isn’t a Nordic track yet simply due to time and the potential for more snow over night.

There is no walking lane at the moment due to lack of snow so if you are walking on the ice, please be careful as traction will be minimal.
Get out and enjoy while the weather is in our favour. And don’t forget to check out the Snowflake festival this weekend at Kinsmen Beach, complete with outdoor curling.

Photo from late yesterday by Theresa, it’s even wetter now.
The track at Lillian is in really icy condition and any more warmth will take away the classic lane completely.
