The Flin Flon Ski Club would like to draw the public's attention to two issues that are impacting the quality of our ski trails.

Certain individuals have been using quads and side by sides on the ski trails to go from place to place. The problem is that quads create large ruts in the trails which lead to water damage. They also create more work, since these ruts have to bee filled in with extra snow to prevent unsuspecting skiers or trail groomer skis from falling into the ruts. We ask quadders to stay off of the marked ski trails. 

The second issue is people cutting firewood along the trails. Saskatchewan Conservation advises that a cutting permit is required to cut wood, and they will not issue permits for these areas. Last spring 23 standing trees were cut along the Valley trail.

 These trees help to retain snow along the trails and add to the visual beauty of the trails. People should not be cutting wood on or along the ski trails.

Thank you for your consideration in helping to preserve some of the best ski trails in Western Canada. Our volunteers put in hundreds of hours of work annually to maintain these trails for enjoyment of the general public.
