The Kicking Horse Ski Club is contemplating allowing dogs on all of our ski trails starting in the 2013/2014 season. The decision will be made based on feedback from the users of the trails, so please fill out the survey to cast your vote.

Of course Dogs need to be on a leash at all times in the National Parks and the owners must pick up after their dogs and dispose of it in the garbage bins. They should also put extra $$ in the donation boxes to help pay for resetting the trails more often. Maybe we’ll sell dog memberships? Who knows?

We will post comments next fall with the output of the survey, so pass this around to your skier friends/dog owners. And should it be that Dogs ARE allowed, it will be on a trial basis for the first year.

The survey can be found here.

Just a quick update to let you know that there will be track set trails in Yoho this winter; for sure at Emerald Lake and no doubt from Field as well.

Emerald Lake Lodge, Emerald Sports and the Ski Club have set up a draft volunteer agreement with Parks Canada. This agreement is for one year to allow Parks to lend us the equipment for trails up at the lake. Parks will be lending a sled and groomer to keep (as usual) by the boat shed at Emerald and the Lodge will provide the gasoline for this area. The Lodge will pay a person to track set the Emerald Area, as per the draft volunteer agreement with Parks Canada. Parks will also do free training sessions for the use of the equipment (when these sessions come available). And Parks will do the regular maintenance on the sled for free, so far so good!

Emerald Lake Lodge have a couple potential employees on site to track set occasionally and we gave them a few names of Fieldites who are also interested in doing the track setting as a winter job. Still lot’s to be worked out but this is all good news.

Therefore to break it down

• There will be ski tracks at Emerald Lake for sure
• The Field Ski Club has $ in with the FRAA to set tracks in the valley
• An amendment to the existing agreement can be added at any time
• High priority would be the Info Centre to the Otterhead (we would need to set up the insurance we had 2 years ago)
• And need a trailer to haul the Parks machine
• Takakkaw Falls road?

Nice to look on the bright side for a change…

Of course the usual will happen with fundraising, membership price raised etc. because we don’t want to run the existing account dry. We will need new blood, new ideas for all this to happen.

Denise and Marilyn will resign as Club Chiefs by next spring, so we’ll have a meeting this fall.
