Ask people around town what they think about the snow this past winter season and youSA国际影视传媒檒l probably get a variety of responses.

Ask the Yellowknife Ski Club what they thought of the snowfall this season, though, and you will most likely get a much different SA国际影视传媒� and much happier SA国际影视传媒� answer.

The club has wound down its affairs for the snowy season with their last major event, the Nordic Cross. It was a fun event open to all ages and abilities and dozens of competitors tried their luck at weaving through the obstacles on the trails.

Kerry Wheler, the clubSA国际影视传媒檚 president, said it was meant to be challenging but fun at the same time.

SA国际影视传媒淚t was just an incredible way to end our season,SA国际影视传媒� she said. SA国际影视传媒淎ll ages and abilities from the little ones right up to adults and thatSA国际影视传媒檚 how all of our programs are SA国际影视传媒� itSA国际影视传媒檚 all about participation.SA国际影视传媒�

Most of the club programming is done for this season. The Jackrabbits, the youngest of the bunch, had its final session earlier in the month while the Track Attack skiers, the next age group up, are set to wrap things up tomorrow. The high-performance program is scheduled to have a fun session this evening to close things out.

SA国际影视传媒淲e have a lot of members and skiing is just a fun way for people to come together,SA国际影视传媒� said Wheler. SA国际影视传媒淲e try to have an event at least once per month and our high-performance skiers got to travel to races this season. ItSA国际影视传媒檚 been a little different over the past couple of years because of Covid-19, but our older skiers went to the Arctic Winter Games and Canada Winter Games. It made for lots of fun and a wonderful season.SA国际影视传媒�

That snowfall between late October and late November gave the club quite the start for the season and allowed the groomers to begin laying tracks early on, she added.

SA国际影视传媒淭hat gave us a great base and the groomers did a great job this season,SA国际影视传媒� she said. SA国际影视传媒淲eSA国际影视传媒檝e had to get creative in the past with little snow, but being able to ski right from the start was great. The warm temperatures also helped and we donSA国际影视传媒檛 usually get that in November. We had between -5 C to -10 C and itSA国际影视传媒檚 usually around -20 C that time of year. It was a unique month.SA国际影视传媒�

Once the snow melts for good, the Yellowknife Ultimate Club will move in and set up a nine-hole disc golf course for the summer; Wheler said it will be the second year of a deal the ski club made with the ultimate club. There will also be some events organized by the Yellowknife Multisport Club at the ski club.

Until then, Wheler said people should keep on skiing.

SA国际影视传媒淕o and ski if you can find snow,SA国际影视传媒� she said. SA国际影视传媒淏e careful with the melting snow, but the glide right now is awesome SA国际影视传媒� just be careful with that.SA国际影视传媒�
