Kanata Nordic’s 2014 Ski Swap and Open House is fast approaching. Rain or Shine, it is scheduled for Saturday November 22 2014 from 10:30am to 1:00pm. The event will be held in the Vail Building, Bonnefant YMCA Outdoor Centre, 1620 Sixth Line Road.

Here’s a sneak peak at the planned events:

• Club clothing sale – great new tights and jerseys from Louis Garneau; more details are on the Clothing page
• Jackrabbit activities – fun and games for the 10 and under set, lead by our senior skiers, from 11:15 am to 12:00 noon. Arrive at 11:00 am.
• Membership drive – we are always looking for new members to join the Club, so bring a friend; lots of knowledgeable Executive members on hand to answer questions
• Refreshments – hot beverages and snacks to finish off the morning
• Canadian Ski Marathon (CSM) – visit the CSM table and learn about the upcoming 48th Annual CSM. The CSM has distances to suit all skill levels and ages: recreational skiers, youth, kids, families, and endurance skiers.

The Youth Challenge skiers, Track Attack and Teen Ski Fit will be waxing skis for $10 a pair. Bring your skis from home or get a new pair at the swap and we will give you a glide wax to get you ready for the first snow.
