Additional Info:

Make sure to plan your distances according to your ability.
As a Ski Tour (not a race), you can start anytime, but we suggest you try to plan to finish before 3PM, as we will start cleaning up event stuff (signs, snacks, etc) at that point.
It’s a good idea for at least one member of your group to ski with a backpack that includes water or thermos with a hot drink, snacks, hotshots or other warming techniques, waxes.
The 15km round trip is from the Birch Chalet to the Pumpkin Creek Clubhouse and back. There are plenty more kms to ski if you’re looking for more distance.
To acknowledge the accomplishment of skiing from Birch to Pumpkin Creek and back, if you’ve made the full trek, please note your name on the Birchkin Pumpski Finisher List inside the Ski Birch Chalet and we’ll acknowledge your hardcore-ness on our website and social media.

Screen Grab or download these maps for your phone. Paper copies will be available at the Ski Birch Chalet, as well.
