Cross-country ski enthusiasts can still take advantage of great late-season conditions at Vernon’s Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre.
The centre remains open in light of COVID-19 concerns, but they are monitoring the situation closely.
“As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have an unexpected and unprecedented effect on the winter ski industry we are monitory the situation very closely,” said the centre on its website.
“Sovereign Lake Nordic Club remains open at this time but all trails on SilverStar are closed until further notice. We may impose closures of the lodge facility at any time so please, for the safety of all, if you show any signs of sickness, do not come into the Sovereign day lodge. If anyone is showing any signs of sickness or coughing they will be asked to leave the facility immediately by staff.”
