Hello everyone!

I just wanted to pass along some information about a few non-Telemark summer events.

Friday Night MTB Hot Laps

There is an opportunity at for MTB Smith Creek on Friday nights this May and June. This to be open for all ages, abilities and disciplines – like the old toonie race days. This isn’t only for racers though, this is for anyone who wants to come out and improve – kids, teens, adults, racers, beginners, and weekend warriors.

The only thing needed for this is to register for a 2024 West Kelowna Trail crew membership, then show up on Friday nights for a 6:30 PM start. Group warmups start at 6, then go time at 6:30. There will be a short loop, longer loop and descent only options for those not wanting to join the group effort going up but want to see if they can descend fast! For more info contact Evan

Sage Stomp XXXIX

Sage orienteering is putting on a 2 day orienteering event on June 1-2.
