race team Telemark

Hello Ski Fans,

We have a fair bit going on for the first week of May. A big Thanks to all of those who contributed to the trail building yesterday. It was greatly appreciated by the trail crews. We got a lot of work done; many hands make light work. There are additional trail days every two weeks until the summer break at Smith Creek. These are on our website calendar.

Tuesday May the 4th at 6 pm we have our first bi-weekly club team night. This is intended for Track Attack and older skiers. We are at Eian Lamont Park 3088 Lakeview Cove Rd West Kelowna BC. This is a park on the Eastside of the Mount Boucherie …mountain… Come prepared to Run/Hike the Mountain and preview the race course for May 18th.

Manning Team Training Camp July 5-8th 2021

• With the restrictions in place this year families are invited to book their own campsites at the Lightning Lakes campground in E. C. Manning Park. These will become available at 7 am on May 5th 2021. That is this Wednesday.
• This year we would like to invite 2008 and older skiers. Younger skiers might want to do less than the 4 days.
• The idea is that each day we hike up a mountain and the run down afterwards.
• This has been a great team building event which we have done for many years now.
• I am happy to field any additional questions about this after training on Tuesday night.

Hello Ski Fans,

There is a Small shift in plans for the weekend. If you have not already register for the trail day and you are going to please RSVP via a email to me. I will collect the numbers and communicate that to the trail crew bosses.

We will street park on near 2040 Rosealee Lane at 9 am. This is the closest trail head to the trails we will be working on Sunday May 2nd. For our mission this weekend Rake, Shovel or a Pick/Mattock are the tools of choice. If you do not have any tools there are a few loaners available. Please remember good foot wear, a snack and water.

There’s a good chance that there will be a barbeque afterwards at the “Rose Valley Trails Parking” at 1949 Rosealee Lane.

Please come out and support the trail development and maintenance of the trail system which we regularly enjoy!

Feel free to contact me by email with questions or concerns. Thank You,

Hello! We are researchers from the University of British Columbia, Okanagan and we are currently conducting a study to better understand how food presentation influences the consumption of fruits and vegetables in childhood. Eligible participants are caregivers that live in Kelowna, B.C. or the surrounding area and have a child between the ages of 8-12 years. As part of the study, caregivers will be asked to prepare a snack for their child using a recipe and ingredients provided by the research team. Children will then be given an opportunity to eat as much or as little of the snack as they would like. This study will take place in the safety of your own home and will require only 1 hr and 25 minutes of your time.
As part of the study, children will receive a FREE snack! After completion of the study, participating caregivers will receive $25 compensation for your time.
If you have any questions or are interested in participating please contact Skylar Schmidtke at skylar.l.schmidtke@ubc.ca
