Snowmobile Fundraising – we need your help!
Our three Alpine ll snowmobiles are nearing the end of their serviceable life. They have served us well as our go-to utility sleds towing implements and equipment to pack, clear, and groom our trails. One now has a seized motor that cannot be repaired, and the others are no longer reliable. Last year we gratefully received sufficient donations to augment our fleet with a good used snowmobile. It has helped as a rescue sled and light duty service, but we really need the utility we have had from the Alpines as a long term solution.
To better serve our members by continuing to provide world-class ski trails, we are fundraising to purchase a new snowmobile, probably like the Ski-doo Skandic pictured above as one of the very few utility sleds still being manufactured.
Once again, some extremely generous supporters of xc skiing in BC are stepping up with matching funds ($16,000) to help kick-start things for BC clubs. The $16,000 will be handed out as follows, until it’s gone:
- $100 to every club that raises $200 on their own
- a further $200 to every club that raises $600 on their own
- a further $500 to every club that raises $1600 on their own
If you’re doing the math, that’s a total contribution of $800 on the first $1,600 that the club raises… a 50% match! Donors will receive a tax receipt. To Donate now, click on the following link:

It is a tough decision but with COVID-19 virus pandemic and in conversation with the Infection Prevention person at the hospital, we have decided to cancel the “Captured by Fire” presentation set for this Friday. The new regulations have set the maximum crowd at 50, so to be on the safe side the event will be cancelled.
