Golden Nordic Club: The season is ramping up here at the Golden Nordic Club with lots of fun events to get involved in. Coming up on the 8th & 9th of February we are hosting our annual Huckleberry Loppet ski event. Participants can register via our website.
The classic race will be taking place on Saturday the 8th at 11 am and skating on Sunday the 9th at 11 am. With a great selection of distances and age group categories on offer, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
This year we are also offering a fun non-timed race for the non-competitive individuals with free hot cider drinks at the Owl’s Roost to stop and warm up mid-race. Special welcome gifts will be provided for first-time Huckleberry Loppet participants. Come and cheer on the skiers and get amongst our fun Nordic skiing tradition.
On February 14th at Dawn Mountain Nordic Centre, the stars are aligned for a romantic Moonlight Ski on Valentine’s Day. Bring your lover or lovely friends and come out for a lantern-lit ski. Meet in front of Dawn Mountain Chalet at 6:30 pm to join others for a ski or head off on your own. Warm up by the fire at our Owl’s Roost cabin with hot chocolate and cookies (7-8 pm) for hungry skiers. Don’t forget your headlamp!
Joining forces on February 16th are Higher Ground Sports’ Demo Day and the club’s Soup and Shoot fundraiser. Both run from 11 am – 3 pm at Dawn Mountain Nordic Centre. This is a day you won’t want to miss!
Try out the latest and greatest Salomon and Fischer ski equipment from the reps coordinated through Higher Ground Sports. Participants will go into the draw to win a prize. For the Soup and Shoot, $10 delicious soup and buns will be for purchase in our cozy Chalet with funds raised going towards supporting our Biathlon program. Test your aim and shoot our electronic rifles at our biathlon range target.
Get ready for our club’s first-ever biathlon races on March 1st. No biathlon experience is required to participate in this open event for ages 8 and up.
We’re so thankful to Higher Ground, our community, staff and volunteers whose participation and hard work make these memorable events possible. We’re excited to see you there!
