Ski Patrol


When I moved back to Canada, I said to myself, "Some really good mountain bikers come from Canada, and they live in Quebec where there is lots of snow, so what do they DO for the winter?"

That is when I decided to learn to cross country ski, to keep training throughout the winter, and still be outdoors. I found it to be hard work.

This year, I took on ski patrol, at Silver Star (downhill) and at Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre. It was the first year offering patrol at SLNC and it was an enjoyable experience, spending a day on the hill, either skiing or chatting with members in the lodge.
