🌬️❄️ Trail Conditions Update Mar 1 2026 -Bob Stirling XC Ski & Bike Trail

The recent wind and flash freeze have taken a toll on the trail. I was out yesterday to check conditions, and the downhill sections are quite icy, fast, and challenging in spots. There’s also a fair amount of tree debris on the trail, which is causing skis to stick in places — so please use extra caution.

If you’re not comfortable skiing in firm, fast, or icy terrain, we strongly recommend bringing or renting snowshoes for the event.

Safety comes first! We want everyone to have a great — and safe — evening out there enjoying the moonlight. 🌕

(Karla Mills XC Club Secretary/Treasurer)

🌕✨ Worm Moon Cross-Country Ski & Snowshoe Gathering ✨🌕

The third full moon of 2026 — the Worm Moon — rises on March 3, bringing energy of renewal, reflection, and fresh beginnings. 🌱

This is a time to release what no longer serves you, reflect on personal growth, and plant seeds for the season ahead.

Celebrate the moon and the nearing arrival of spring with us on the trail! ❄️🌕

📍 The Bob Stirling XC Ski & Bike Trail at Spine Beach
☕ Free hot chocolate provided by Jacks Ski & Bike Shack
🔥 Pre-hot chocolate: 6:15–6:45 PM
🎿 Hit the trails: ~6:45 PM
⏱️ Approx. 1 hour ski/snowshoe
☕ Post hot chocolate available while supplies last

💡 Don’t forget your headlamp — just in case the moon decides to hide!

Come ski or snowshoe under the glow of the full moon, connect with community, and set intentions for the months ahead. Move your body, breathe in the crisp air, and welcome the shift of seasons together.

📩 RSVP: Please message us or email if you're coming:

All are welcome — bring a friend and your sense of adventure! 🌙💛
