Greetings past Vermilion Nordic members,
Welcome back to Winter! The club executive met yesterday to make some plans for the season. We are happy to say we are returning to the pre-Covid format of our season kick-off event. We will hold our start-of-season potluck and rental event on Sunday, November 27, at the CN Station. We will begin with a potluck meal at 1:00, and following the meal, members who wish to rent equipment may do so. Please bring your favourite potluck dish to share, as well as your own dishes and cutlery.
Again this year, we will be using the Zone4 online registration system for membership. Registration will be live in the next week (watch for another email with the link to the registration page), and the process should be fairly straightforward, following the instructions on the website. If, at any point, you are unsure of how to proceed, please feel free to email me, and I'll do my best to help you out.
We ask those who would like to rent equipment for the upcoming season to please register as a member online BEFORE the potluck, as club policy is to rent equipment to members only. Please note that payment for rentals will still be made directly to the club - rental fees can be paid using cash or cheque (damage and cleaning deposits are best made using two separate post-dated cheques). You can visit the club website (www.vermilionnordic.com) for rental and registration rates. It will be updated soon with this year's information.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. If you are unable to attend the potluck event, and would like to arrange another time to rent equipment, please let me know. Also, please feel free to forward this email to share information about our club event with anyone who may be interested in joining - we would love to have some new members!
I look forward to seeing many of you on November 27!

10km Loop
5km Loop
Please note on the map below, (to see detailed map you must access the "Web" version ...if in the mobile version, scroll to the bottom and select "Web") the trails labelled Lakeside and Saskatoon are now called the Walter Scott Trail (or just Lakeside for those who have been around awhile.) The campground trails are not labelled on this map but can be found if you start down Aspen from the CN station, just before the big hill (going down) turn left and this trail will take you toward the campground trails. This is a 2km loop which winds through the campground and takes you back to the CN station, great for smaller kids.
The yellow trails on the map below are for cross-country skiing only. The pink trails are multipurpose trails.

Skiers generally enter the trail system just behind the CN station. Aspen is an intermediate trail with one signficant downhill section on the route under the powerline. Beginner skiers may prefer to head to the bottom of the hill by the CN station (just down the road in front of the station). At the bottom of the hill you will see the start of the Walter Scott Trail which is ideal for beginner skiers and those with skate skis. There are trail maps along the route.
Check out the links below (or in the navigation bar above) for the latest trail conditions.
