Additional Info:

• Additional Info:
• Make sure to plan your distances according to your ability.
• As a Ski Tour (not a race), you can start anytime, but we suggest you try to plan to finish before 3PM, as we will start cleaning up event stuff (signs, snacks, etc) at that point.
• There will be a Sign-In, Sign-Out sheet at the Birch Chalet. This is a safety check, to make sure, at 3PM, that everyone has returned safely. Please don’t forget to sign out when you’re done!
• It’s a good idea for at least one member of your group to ski with a backpack that includes water or thermos with a hot drink, snacks, hotshots or other warming techniques, waxes.
• The 15km round trip is from the Birch Chalet to the Pumpkin Creek Clubhouse and back. There are plenty more kms to ski if you’re looking for more distance, and some turn arounds if you’re looking for less.
• To acknowledge the accomplishment of skiing from Birch to Pumpkin Creek and back, if you’ve made the full trek, please note your name on the Birchkin Pumpski Finisher List inside the Ski Birch Chalet.
• There will be hot drinks and snacks available for purchase in the Birch Chalet when you’re done – Cookie & a Coffee/Hot Chocolate for $2.

Paper copies of the route map will be available at the Ski Birch Chalet. A few days before the event, we’ll post the map here, as well, so you can save it to your phone.

Thanks to Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries for the support, and to Tétro Designs for our fun poster!
