Large numbers of visitors are finding great conditions and having a lot fun this season with the 100 Mile Nordics Ski Society.

Family Day on Feb. 8 saw a wonderful turnout and the skiing was exceptional at the 99 Mile Ski Trails.

It was great to see families taking advantage of the offer to ski and/or snowshoe for free and discover and/or re-discover the South Cariboo’s Winter Activity Centre on the 99 Mile Hill, just above town,” says club spokesperson Birgit Bienek.

Furthermore, Feb. 6 was the busiest day the Nordics had all season.

The weather was sunny and beautiful and there were many smiling faces enjoying themselves throughout the day, she adds.

Biologist Ken MacKenzie led a naturalist snowshoe group to explore the creatures and plants along the 99 Mile Snowshoe Trails, Bienek explains.

We appreciate Ken donating his time to help raise funds for rental gear for kids.”
