NEWS
5 – Dec 2019
Skmana Ski & Snowshoe Club is very grateful for the recent financial assistance provided to us by the Chase Rotary Club.
Those funds allowed us to purchase new and badly needed trail signs. Greatly appreciated, Rotary!
Welcome to Skmana Cross-Country Ski and Snowshoe Club
Our ski club offers 14 kms of track set classic ski trials and a generous offering of designated snow shoe trails. All are well marked and cover a very wide range of natural forest, lakes and streams. If you watch closely you may even encounter snowshoe hares, woodpeckers and grouse. With real luck you may come across our resident moose. Families, social groups and individual skiers and snowshoe’s will all find the trails very user friendly. You won’t be disappointed!
The trails are located at Skmana Lakes Forestry Recreation Site and are managed by the club. A warming hut is provided as a social gathering place.

Upcoming Events
The program consists of eight weekly lessons (snow and weather permitting) starting on Sundays from January 12 and running until March 8, 1 – 2 PM. The cost and use of equipment, as well as the Bunnyrabbits & Jackrabbits coaching, will be free to club members (a minimum of one adult and one child). The objective is to introduce cross country skiing and the healthy lifestyle associated with it through organized activity and active play. In addition, the program is designed to:
- Help children develop a positive self-image
- Be fun
- Provide children an opportunity to make ski-friends
- Develop fundamental movement skills
- Help children develop an awareness and appreciation of our natural environment
