The Golden Nordic Ski Club Dawn Mountain daylodge is being constructed starting in the summer of 2010 to be ready for use in the 2010/11 winter season.
We will be looking for volunteers for various work projects such as fire wood collection, staining, and more. If you are interested in getting involved, please contact our volunteer coordinator Wayne Manzer at 250.344.6523 or email him kutenai

Adopt-A-Log Fundraiser
This past summer, the club initiated the Adopt-A-Log program allowing members and supporters to 'buy' a log for the day lodge for $50 each to financially support the building project. As a supporter, your name will appear on a log and you will be recognized for your generosity (you can opt out if you wish). So far, the program is successful and we hope that the Adopt-A-Log fundraiser will help support the costly building project. Leave your legacy for our club and Adopt-A-Log or two! Please visit Charlotte at the Golden Gear Exchange.
