Itinerary:

As of this last minute posting on Saturday April 4, Tawatinaw Valley is reporting plenty of snow still on the ground. With high temperatures this next week this is likely the last weekend for skiing.

Discover The Valley! Tawatinaw Valley is one of the best lowland ski areas in Alberta. Only 1 hour north of Edmonton, near the historic Landing Trail, Tawatinaw Valley spreads over 140 acres and boasts some of the most spectacular views outside the Rocky Mountains. Well-groomed runs featuring gullies, ravines, open hills and gentle slopes provide 20 km of cross-country trails.

See website for more information.

Required Items to Bring:
- Money for trail pass
- Your own equipment

Carpool Cost:

The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $55.68 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Saturday, November 23, 2024). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.
