Itinerary:

The plan is to ski most loops in the area throughout the day- a trail map for Strathcona Wilderness Centre can be accessed here. Everyone is welcome to ski as much or as little as they are comfortable with. There is a heated lodge on site with washrooms and a few tables inside to sit down and have a snack and lunch. The lodge has a microwave, a vending machine with junk food, and has a hot drink machine. I suggest bringing a lunch. The trails go out from the lodge in a series of small inter-connected loops. The trails are rated as easy & intermediate with a few steep hills.

If you do not own cross-country skis, Strathcona Wilderness Centre has on- site rentals available. The "Adult Ski Package (waxless)" is $15.50.

Required Items to Bring:
$6.50 for trail pass
Skis, boots and poles (and wax, if appropriate), or $15.50 to rent
Warm clothing appropriate to the weather
Water
Lunch
cash for carpool ($5)

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

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 $23.20 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Friday, April 19, 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.
