Join us for the Annual Volunteer Work-Party!

Sunday, October, 18th is our Annual Volunteer Work Party!
Lets put our hands together to make the ski trails, cabins and facilities primed and ready for the winter!
Directions:
If you plan on attending, please reach out to us at [email protected] to let us know which project you’d like to join.
Meet-up will be at 9:00am at the Viking Centre Trail-head, at the grooming facility (Directly behind the Viking Centre building). As always, coffee and snacks will be served first. We’ll organize our teams there.

  • Note: Very fun crew to be a part of!
Project Team 2: Sanding and Staining Snowberry Cabin Table & Benches
