Kelowna Nordic is the proud owner of the Prinoth Bison grooming machine!

The purchase of the Prinoth Bison grooming machine is a major milestone for trail quality at Kelowna Nordic.

While we were genuinely disappointed to learn that our capital

equipment Gaming Grant application was not successful, your Board

responded with care, diligence, and determination. The Board held a

special meeting to review the club’s financial position, assess risks, and

explore responsible options that would protect both short‑term

operations and long‑term sustainability.

Thanks to strong financial oversight, the sale of older equipment,

prudent use of reserves, and—most importantly—the remarkable

generosity of our members, donors, and community partners through

the Groomer and Snowflake campaigns, the Board made the confident

decision to proceed with the purchase of the Prinoth Bison XC 4.3m

groomer.

This decision reflects the Board’s shared belief that reliable grooming is

central to member experience, safety, and future growth. Purchasing the

groomer now also results in significant long‑term savings compared to

continued rental, while securing consistent trail quality for years to

come.

Join us for a special celebration of this achievement — January 25

To celebrate the purchase of the groomer (which will be on display),

recognize past presidents and donors, thank our incredible volunteers,

meet and talk with Board members, and celebrate our wonderful winter

facilities, Kelowna Nordic will host a Kelowna Nordic Festival.

Sunday, January 25, 2026

Starting at 12:00 noon

Kelowna Nordic Main Cabin

This will be a relaxed, welcoming opportunity to connect, celebrate, and

enjoy winter together.

Thank you, Kelowna Nordic community

The strength of Kelowna Nordic lies in its people. Your enthusiasm, support, and belief in the club continue to move us forward. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! Your unwavering trust and steady support have turned our dream of buying a new grooming machine into reality.

Snoga at Kelowna Nordic

With a passion for nature and wellness, Wendy combines the practices of yoga and snowshoeing to help you reconnect with yourself and the outdoors.

Wendy volunteers with the Kelowna Nordic Club.

Our event will start with a warm-up before embarking on a silent trek through the snowy woods.

Our journey will be slow and steady, with time to stop and appreciate nature.

We will finish with a yoga cool down and a delicious treat donated by Milk Shed Coffee House.

We will be doing standing yoga movements, so there's no need to bring your mat.

COST : $25   Includes trail fees, Yoga guides, hot drinks and treats in the cabin afterwards. Bring your own snowshoes.

DATE : Saturday February 7 from 1:00- 3:00 pm
