Learn the Trails & Trail Safety Clinic: 
New Date Coming, upstairs in the Steve Cooper Lodge
Cost: Free clinic for members, with a valid annual membership
​One of the most common questions we get is "Where should I go for a ski?" -Not a simple answer since we have 35km of groomed trails that cater to different experience levels and skill. For new skiers or trail users or those wanting to try new trails- this clinic will get you informed and prepared to venture out on the Wapiti Nordic trail system.
The Clinic  will cover-

• Wapiti Nordic trail map familiarization
• Identify trails for each skill level
• Teach you how to use mapping apps- Avenza and Trail forks
• Trail safety- what to do if you get hurt on the trails, what you need to know
• Identify trail hazards or risks

The Learn the Trails & Trail Safety Clinics will take place several times throughout the winter season. We want to ensure all our trail users are feeling safe and comfortable on our trails system. ​
