Dear Rocanville Cross Country Trail Participants November 2024
As noted previously our trails are available for both skiing in the winter months and Nordic walking in the
summer months. The trails this summer were generally dry and mowed which good conditions for Nordic
walking. Dennis Hack took it upon himself to plant just over 600 pine & spruce trees along the trail. We are
hoping the trees will have a good survival rate being planted in a natural setting.
The Esterhazy club is challenging us to compete with them on number of people using the trail & kilometers
skied. The sign in form by the door of the club house has been adjusted to record this information.
There continues to be an interest in a educational ski program for children of ages between 7 and 12 years
old. Our plan this year is that children interested should come out at 10 AM on Saturday mornings and a
person will be there to ski with them right on the trails. Children interested for this must either pay the
regular trail & equipment fees or have an annual pass. Children wishing to get a Jack Rabbit toque would
need to be officially registered for the program.
We are attaching a registration and waiver form to this letter for the 2024-25 year. Please note a Class B
membership will allow you to not only ski during the winter but also allow you to use the trail for Nordic
walking during the summer. Rental equipment in the club house is continuing to be provided for cross
country skiing as well as several sets of Nordic walking poles for participants to use on the trail during the
summer months.
We have an active web site (https://rocanvillecrosscountrytrails.ca) and a Facebook site to keep the public
updated. Both sites can be reached by just typing ‘Rocanville Cross Country Ski Club’.
Please note Sask. Ski uses the Zone 4 website to record memberships so joining online is preferable. It
saves re-entering information by volunteers where paper forms are used.
