Itinerary:

As of this last minute posting on Thursdaey, Tawatinaw Valley is reporting plenty of snow on the ground and groomed track set nordic skiing (*plus skate skiing). With snow forecast this weekend it should be an even nicer Winter Wonderland.

Discover The Valley! Tawatinaw Valley is one of the best lowland ski areas in Alberta. Only 1 hour north of Edmonton, next to 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.

With your $6 trail pass we can also enjoy skiing down the "ski-out" trail to the lodge for refreshments and snacks, and then catch the t-bar lift back up to the extensive cross country trail system.

Required Items to Bring:
- Money for trail pass
- Your own equipment
- Cash (for food & refreshments at the lodge)
- Warm, breathable synthetic layers

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

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 Thursday, November 21, 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.
