Happy December!

Now that we’re officially and unequivocally into the winter sports season, we thought we’d share this photo of Rossland’s “new” Curling Rink! Jack Mowatt is the skip here, January 16, 1958.

The 2023 Fun Trolloppet ski event was held on Sunday, January 22 with almost 200 participants! After a two-year hiatus with Covid, there was lots of interest. The day was grand as the weather and sunshine could not have been any better. Blue skies and lots of smiles. We had five categories from the 2km Tiny Trolls, 8km Mega Trolls to the 20km Bronze, 30km Silver, and 40 km Gold. And as usual, the Viking troll was there to start the race. The Castlegar Nordic, Ski Society would like to thank our many sponsors. Mallards Source for Sports. No frills. Safeway. Kootenay Market. Kootenay Valley Water. Canadian Tire. Tim Hortons And, of course, a big shout out to our many volunteers that helped with registration, endless amounts of great baking, and just being there to cheer on the skiers! Thank you!
