Slack Country Cup - Next Weekend

 https://slackcountrycup.ca/

Monday

Hello Baldy Babes,

A sunny, cold morning for our shoe up to the Sagebrush Summit Pool kept us moving fast!

Cheryl guided today out the McKinney Trail across the lower Sagebrush Meadow Trail up to the Pool on a new trail.

A garden salad and a bowl of chili on rice for lunch warmed us along with cheesecake bites.

We have three more Mondays, so come and join us.

Looking forward to seeing your smiling faces next week.

Take Care, Marian

if Ethel is watching........she would be smiling.

Two of the Jones Boys on the hill this weekend, and I joined them for a delicious dinner tonight cooked on Ethel's woodstove. Thanks guys, safe travels, and thanks Lex for the pics.

Trail Alert

Temperature is dropping, trails are icy. Boots with spikes or snowshoes with built in crampons recommended. Thanks Wylee for the info.

Live Music 3:00 - 5:00

Hilary, Dorian, Penny and Trevor have teamed up for this afternoon's music. 

A little sticky............

Today was warm, and if you didn't have perfect balance and very fresh wax it was slow. The forecast is for a cool down tonight and sunshine tomorrow .

Alpine Club Fundraiser

The Alpine Club families and Mel and her team did a great job of feeding us tonight, and there were some pretty impressive donations for the silent auction.

The young kids wouldn't know, but when I looked around the room, I saw former Alpine club participants, parents, and at least three couples who were the parent leads for the club when their kids were young. 

A little background on your cabin.

Uncle Paul Fairweather had the cabin built to serve as a rental shop, prior to the lodge addition. (three sections to the left.) The Fairweather family dog "Baldy", a Saint Bernard, was often laying outside the rental shop.

When the rental shop was moved into the basement of the lodge, Uncle Paul offered the cabin to me, I would just have to get it up on my lot. I had actually started hand digging for footings, when I realised that the logistics were a challenge, and the cabin was too small.

It was turned, and used as the ski patrol building for several years, before being dragged up by the base of the tubing lane.

The Alpine club families have done a great job of relocating and fixing up the cabin for the club.

Spring Skiing - Quick Wax, Regular Wax, and Tune

Spring time brings softer snow, that means while you're out on the slopes, you may notice your equipment might need a wax!

With quality work and great prices, our technicians will make sure your gear is healthy and ready for those warm spring laps.

Quick waxes, hot waxes and edge sharpening available. Pay our rental shop a visit and book your skis and snowboards in for a spa day!

Spring Ahead

Set your clocks ahead one hour before you go to bed tonight, and scroll down for the spring operating hours.
