Lodge Guidelines:
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. Members can always access the trails (see updated conditions) 24/7, and there are pit toilets beside the lodge.

Wax room (lower level):
  • Open for waxing (self-initiated) anytime the lodge is opened
  • The wax room is free of charge and available for anyone to use
  • Irons are available for waxing your skis
  • There is a box of donated wax that is free for you to use if you need it
  • Please clean the wax room after you use it (counter and floors- scrape, vacuum and sweep)
  • Don't know how to wax your skis? Check out our Winter Clinics to sign up for a Learn to Wax clinic

Lodge Etiquette:
  • Personal items are left at the owner's risk - indoors and outdoors
  • Please remove muddy shoes or boots
  • No smoking indoors or on any of the outdoor decks
  • Water in the kitchen is not potable / for consumption. Please bring your own.
  • Use caution in the waxing room - the floor can be slippery
