Board of Directors Votes to Increase Day Use Fee
As you know, our trails are cared for 100% by Volunteers and we need to fundraise to meet operational expenses. To help us be more self-sustaining, we have had to increase our Day Use Fee to $10 per person.
Why Not Be a Skmana Member?
Memberships – $50 per adult, $30 per youth 13 to 18, $25 per child 12 & under and $160 per family.
Having strong membership numbers helps us with our fundraising efforts, including where our members are coming from. Having members from all around the TNRD and CSRD is our goal!
Why Not Volunteer?
If you can spare some time, we can always use help…it’s nice to have a list of people we can call on when we need them. We cannot always predict things like trail clearing, maintenance, or grooming schedules in advance. Let us know if you want to be on our “call list.” It’s good clean fun ☺
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.
