ONLINE FUNDRAISER ON NOW!
Thank you to the donors who contribute to the amazing trails and new programs at Skmana!
Click here for a running tally of Skmana’s fundraising through this online campaign.
Last year, Skmana Ski and Snowshoe Club raised over $1,200 through this fundraiser. This year, funds raised will go toward building our Sport Development Program (Bunnyrabbits this year and Jackrabbits next year), saving up for a new snowmobile (that our trails continue to be maintained in an exceptional manner), and obtain new signage for our trails.
Three anonymous donors have contributed matching funds, so that the following will be awarded to clubs:
- $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
To donate, visit Zone 4 and follow the steps.
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.
