The carpool location will be at Westmount shopping mall (St. Albert trail/111 Ave) on the SE corner of the parking lot. We will be meeting at the mall at 9:00 a.m.
We will be arriving at Chickakoo around 9:45 a.m. and will be skiing at a moderate pace with frequent breaks. With the hills that are out there, you'll probably be sweating. We'll be out for about 1.5-2.0 hrs before coming home.
Depending on conditions, we will probably be doing the Woodland Lookout and Cranberry Corner trails (7.6km total). You can get a map here.

Carpooling is optional. Please make sure you have good glide wax on your skis. Also, please register only if you are genuinely interested in attending this event, as it creates extra work for the coordinator when there are cancellations as well as it being unfair to fellow EOCers who actually want to attend.

Carpool Cost:

The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $25.52 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Tuesday, April 16, 2024). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.
