Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone from Kimberley Nordic Club.Lots of new snow, the big and little groomers have been out and you know KNC is one of the prettiest places in the whole valley,,,so get out there and enjoy the groomed trails with friends and have a great time. Happy skiing !! The big groomer has been out but the GPS Tracking and Living Grooming Report is not working totally. Kiosk Attendants will update the Grooming Report during the week. Almost every trail was groomed and trackset on Christmas Day. Enjoy the skiing...let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...
Great news...Kimberley Nordic received almost a foot of new snow last night and the NEW big machine is out grooming. Bad news, the LIVE GROOMING REPORT has had a hiccup this morning and the great grooming is not showing on the report. But rest assured, lots of new snow and great skiing conditions are to be had. The groomer will stay out until all the major trails are freshly prepared for skiing. Get out there...let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

The sizing of the clothing is the same as 5 years ago, so if you know what size you are already, great, just order that. Otherwise, the company is sending a sizing kit that will arrive by Tuesday morning. This kit will be available to try on sizes this Sunday. The sizing k

The Kootenay Cup Race Committee is now looking for volunteers to help host this great event. No previous experience necessary. Please contact Jeannie MacDonald, our Volunteer Coordinator, via email at jeanmacd439@gmail.com. She would be glad to handle any questions as to the positions available and skills required, first one always being enthusiasm. Thanking you in advance, KNC and the Kootenay Cup.
