Glenelg Trail Clean Up: Monday December 29

2008-12-29T08:37:00.001-08:00

We are hoping that skiers will find the time to come and clear trails. There are many trees down as well as branches. So if you can find some spare time on this or any other day just come and pick a trail. If we get snow, the groomers cannot groom until the trails are cleaned up. Please remember that this is a volunteer club. Wish for snow! -Sharon

Note that Sharon still has a few GNSC toques for sale at $12.00 each.
