WNSC members and day pass holders are welcome to use the Lodge for cross country ski activities for personal recreation purposes and club programs. Unfortunately, due to the demands placed on volunteers, we do not rent out the lodge for third party events (e.g. weddings) unless the group wishes to incorporate trail activities e.g. ski, snowshoe, run, hike. See our Group Use page.
