The Ptarmigan Nordic Ski Club would like to thank Syncrude Canada for their donation of $16,000 for grooming equipment that the PNSC purchased this season. The ski club grooms 25km of trail in the Birchwood Trail system to provide a groomed, packed, flat surface fit for running, walking and cross country skiing. Access to the Birchwood Trails is free to everyone in the community, and the grooming is completed solely by volunteers of the PNSC.

The ski club had to replace an outdated Alpine snow machine this season. The $16,000 donation from Syncrude was used to purchase a new Scandic snow machine, as well as new grooming equipment that will allow our groomers to cover more trail, more efficiently, and in less time.

Thank you again to Syncrude for their donation to the PNSC and the community of Fort McMurray.
