Itinerary:

Come join me to learn how to cross-country ski for the weekend! (And to celebrate my milestone birthday.)

Please see the University of Calgary's link below for more info. The weekend getaway is filling up fast so you'll need to register ASAP directly through the UofC. Once completed, please let me know you've signed up and then I'll add you to this event. Here is the **LINK** - make sure to select FEB 23-25, 2018 course.

As of December 26, 2017: There is 1 spot left for the accommodation package ($283.50 including GST) and 3 spots left if you find your own accommodation nearby in Sundre (course is $157.50 including GST, the site is 36km west of Sundre).

I have booked the course WITH accommodation since it’s a 36km from Sundre to the course. I’d prefer to be on site the entire time.

Here is the email I received from them once I paid:
