It has been two long years of development with our Point of Sale System provider, but we are excited to announce that Sovereign Lake now has self-check-in capabilities for pass holders. Entabeni Systems worked with us to create this easy check-in process and we are working to make it super simple.

It is important on so many levels to have this scan data. From grant writing user data to determining when (and when not) to schedule events and other programs around busiest facility times, to provide you with a simple way to track your own skier visits, and on the fun side, be entered into monthly draws for great SLNC merch.

From the smiles on members’ faces, it is easy to see that this has created a simpler user interface for scanning your passes and hope to see a big increase in scanning data soon. No personal information is stored when you scan your passes, we do not share your information with others, but what it DOES do, is provide us with effective tools to make our business and club function better, with a modern technology twist.

From all of us at Sovereign Lake, we want to wish you health and happiness in 2023. With deep snow, cool temperatures, and outstanding grooming, make Sovereign Lake part of your New Year’s Resolution.

The Biathlon North American Cup & World Youth Junior Trials is only 9 days away and we are DESPERATELY in need of Volunteers!! If you have already signed up to volunteer, THANK YOU so much, can’t wait to see you out there.

For those who want to learn how to ski or improve their skills for the upcoming season, we are offering a three-week program in December led by our highly skilled instructors. This will be a great introduction or refresher for the upcoming program season. This course will focus on the fundamentals of Skate and Classic technique while teaching or reviewing the skills of each.

Who is this program for?

Those who are signed up for either Masters XC or U35 and are wanting some pre-season help. You can be a total newbie or could benefit from a review of crucial concepts and fundamentals for skiing.

What are the Benefits?

More skiing!! Seriously, this will help lay the foundation for the remainder of the season with ski skills. Helps ease into the huge learning curve that is cross-country skiing, for those new to the sport. For those who need a refresher, it will help to get your ‘ski legs’ back before the busy holiday season.

When do we meet?

Wednesday’s 6-7:30 pm, December 7th, 14th and 21st. Meeting in the stadium in front of the tech building (the smaller green building with the time clock).

What are the fees?

Lesson Fee: $100

Rentals: $5

Night Trail Ticket: $10

Register through the Lodge at (250) 558-3036. 

 

We have been waiting for this day for 6 long months. A summer of biking, hiking, swimming and paddling is over. It’s time to pull out those skis, grab those boots and find those poles. We are now open for the 2022-23 season!

Please note that our backcountry ski and snowshoe trails are not yet open. They will require more snow and inspection prior to opening to the public.
