Why should I buy a Wapiti Nordic Ski Club Membership?
- Support Trail Maintenance: WNSC is one of the few clubs in the province that employs a groomer year round so that you can enjoy 35km of beautifully maintained trails any day of the week or year! Your membership fees go towards this expense as well as maintenance and operation of our buildings, liability insurance, etc. Your Membership fee is subsidized by the sweat equity and tireless work that volunteers perform year round - summer work includes clearing deadfall, cutting grass and trimming encroaching brush to prepare for the winter.
- Program discounts: Receive special member rates for ski lessons and other club programs.
- Advocacy: Club members form a strong advocacy group - letting stakeholders know that this area is used for recreation and needs to stay that way! Club members were critical in stopping the proposed Highway 40 bypass through the middle of the trails!
- Fun & Friends: Participate in Club activities, volunteer or simply meet people who enjoy the outdoors - like you!
- Voting Privileges: At the Annual General Meeting
- Local Store Discounts: Receive a 10% discount on cross country ski items at Ernies (applies to regular priced items; must show your current membership card or Zone4 e-receipt)

Membership FAQ:
- How can you tell if I am a Member? Current Members need to pick up their membership card and parking pass from the lodge (12 noon - 4pm on weekends). Your parking pass must be displayed when parked in either the North or South parking lots. Vehicles without a parking pass will be issued a Membership reminder. WNSC is a not for profit volunteer club - please respect our membership fee program.
- Can I bring my dog on the trails at WNSC? Please see our Pet Guidelines
- Can I loan my parking pass to a friend? WNSC Memberships are non transferable. Day passes are available for guests. Please encourage them to support your local Nordic Club.
- Which trails can I walk on in the Winter? Sorry, all trails are closed to walking once the snow has fallen and we have commenced grooming. Please respect the hard work that goes into maintaining our groomed trails. Thank you! Snow shoeing is an option you might want to consider instead.
