 Dear JNSC members and Nordic skiers,

 

Welcome to another Nordic ski season!  In our ongoing quest for perfection, for this coming season Eaglecrest and the Juneau Nordic Ski Club have agreed to separate Eaglecrest Nordic Ski Passes and JNSC memberships.  Both Eaglecrest and JNSC have reduced our respective prices to insure that the new arrangement is more equitable.  JNSC will no longer be providing a share of our membership fees to Eaglecrest to help subsidize the costs of grooming there, which will hopefully be covered by selling enough of the passes at the amazing deal price of $39 for the season.  Kids under 12 will be free on the Nordic trails.  Eaglecrest will sell their passes at Eaglecrest and at various specific events, such as the ski swap in November (but not at the CBJ office in downtown Juneau). 

 

JNSC will continue to be solely responsible for grooming of the Valley trails and will continue to sponsor various other events and activities.  We will also remain strongly involved in assisting Eaglecrest in many different ways, ranging from volunteer parties to improve the trails there and working with Eagecrest staff to improve conditions to holding races and ski technique workshops at the mountain.

 

Wherever you ski, whether only in the Valley on our tracks at the campground and lake, just at Eaglecrest, or a combination of both, we urge you to support our all-volunteer club by purchasing a membership this year.  Without the need to support grooming costs at Eaglecrest, we have lowered our annual membership dues to $25, with $10 for age 17 and under and no charge for 6 and under.  Those fees will buy our grooming equipment gas and oil, cover maintenance and rebuild our equipment replacement fund.  (Past membership dues have just purchased a brand new snowmachine for us use on the Valley trails this year, with the old machine being relegated to backup duty.)

 

We hope to set up soon a way to purchase memberships online, through PayPal or the like.  But for now, please click on this link to our membership form to open, print and mail in your form with a check for $25 per person to JNSC, P.O. Box 21262, Juneau 99802.  Or of course you’re welcome to make a donation of any size to support our efforts.  Please be sure to provide us with your email address, since this is the only practical way we have of contacting our members to let them know of events, changes and opportunities; a phone number is also useful in case your email changes and we need to contact you to find out what your new one is. 

 

Snow, baby, snow!
