Important Event Update
Venue: Biathlon Network at Black Jack
Course Format: 3.3 km loop

We also have a Bunnies option for younger skiers: $5 with Jelly Beans at the finish line!
Registration closes 11:59 PM, Friday March 13.

Mark Your Calendars! This year’s Al Fisher Loppet is happening on Saturday March 14th.
This year’s race will put an emphasis on FUN!
Due to Black Jack not currently having a race director, we have had to go a little simpler on the race. There will be no official chip timing, we will have a race clock at the finish, but participants will be responsible for keeping track of their own times.
We have new courses planned for this year. Keep an eye out on the website and social media for details.
We hope to see you out there!
This March Break - Bring your kids skiing at Black Jack! Kids ski for free with a paying adult!
The BC winter games are starting on Thursday February 26th and will be ending on Saturday February 28th.
Black Jack is hosting both the Cross Country ski events at our Lower Trailhead and the Biathlon Events at our Biathlon Trailhead. Public Access to our trail system will be limited during the games. Each day once the final events are over (around 2pm) our whole trail system will be open to the public.
During the Cross Country events (February 26, 27 and 28) there will be limited access to our trail system to the public by using Gibbards and resevoir. The Race course will cross gibbards at points so please respect the Marshalls when crossing the race course. Once you are past Barry’s Field you are past all the race courses and can ski anywhere. See Map below
There will be no Biathlon trail access from 8am-2pm on February 26th, 27th and 28th. Due to the use of firearms during the Biathlon events we cannot have the public accessing the Biathlon trails. After 2pm on those dates you may access the trails and go skiing.
SCHEDULES FOR THE EVENTS ARE BELOW
We need your help! In order for us to finish our new Day Lodge we need more money. We are asking you, our generous members, to help us fundraise in order to reach our goal of having a brand new day lodge!
Click here to donate - https://www.canadahelps.org/.../black-jack-ski-club-wants...
The new lodge will be a game changer for us, with running water, real toilets and a warm indoor space to use for events.
We currently have an incentive from a generous donor. If we are able to raise $10,000 by the end of February, this donor will match that $10,000! But we need to raise this money first!
We appreciate any donation, whether large or small. With over 1000 members at Black Jack, if every one of our members donated $10, we would easily hit that $10,000 mark.
We are also on the hunt for corporate and business donations. For more information on that please reach out to Pat at generalmanager@skiblackjack.ca
If you would like to Volunteer for this year’s Tour De Soup please reach out to Pat at generalmanager@skiblackjack.ca
CLICK HERE TO DONATE Donation deadline is March 31.
Black Jack Ski Club is fundraising for the finishing touches on our new lodge. The final "Finishing Phase" includes non-slip flooring, a commercial kitchen, furnishings, paint for the basement and more.
Thanks to the Nordic Canada Annual Club Fundraiser, you can make a donation and receive a charitable receipt. Depending on your donation, you also receive sponsorship acknowledgement. If you have a corporation, please consider a corporate sponsorship.
Gold Sponsorship (over $10,000) receives acknowledgement on the donor wall along side other major donors such as Columbia Basin Trust and the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary.
Silver Sponsorship ($5000-$9999) receives a plaque of recognition on an 8 foot table in the warming space.
Bronze Sponsorship ($2000-$4999) receives a plaque of recognition on a bench in the warming space.
Less than $2000 receives an invitation to the Grand Opening Celebration coming in the Spring.
The construction of the new day lodge has been four years of hard work and dedication from club volunteers and community members. We sincerely appreciate DJM Construction for their amazing leadership. Please contribute to help make our new day lodge into an amazing space for us all to enjoy.
Its Official! The Tour De Soup is Back For another year.
It will be happening on Monday February 16th at noon. Once again trail fees are waived for that day but we are asking for Donations to our Skier Development Program in lieu of trail fees. There will be volunteers ready at both the main Trailhead and the Biathlon Trailhead that will be ready to collect donations.
Restaurants donating soup are still to be confirmed but there will be soup at all 4 cabins!
We are also going to have our electronic rifles set up at the Biathlon Range for all to try at noon.
We are currently without a Race Director on our Board right now. If we are unable to fill this position we will not be hosting any races next year or in the future until the position is filled. This includes our annual Al Fisher Loppet!
If you want to see Black Jack continue to host races then we will need to fill this position.
The Race Director is a volunteer position that is responsible for helping facilitate the race schedule here at Black Jack. You would help to organize and hold races in conjunction with our Awesome Race Organizing Committee. You would have lots of support from our current board that would help you transition into this role.
If you are interested or would like more information please reach out to Pat at generalmanager@skiblackjack.ca
