As snow happy folks are jumping for joy this week others are looking for the indoor kind of action to fend off the winter blues.
Lucky there’s plenty of both types of activities to do in Nelson.
The Nelson Nordic Ski Club is hosting its annual membership drive on Friday, December 6 from 9:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, December from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at Gerick Cycle & Ski.
It’s your opportunity to purchase memberships, enroll for the BC Rabbit, Track Attack youth programs and to pick up your ski pass (if purchased during the pre season membership drive).
For those of you still requiring a year sticker for this season membership this is your last opportunity to avoid extra $5 replacement fee.
For a great Christmas gift idea, buy your stocking stuffers of five passes for the price of four (valid for the two weeks of Christmas holidays).

The Nelson Squash Club is currently located above The Royal (330 Baker Street). Membership includes a key and online court booking system.
Information on this fast-paced and fun racquetball game and memberships can be purchased at Cowan Office Supplies (517 Victoria Street).
The Kootenay Climbing Association is celebrating several milestones on the path towards a community owned indoor climbing facility in Nelson.
The club’s fall fundraising drive was incredibly successful, with a current total of $72,301.75, heading them over halfway towards their preliminary budget of $120,000.
The local business community, as well as individuals and climbing families, have shown their support through “Wall Builder” donations ranging from $500 to $10,000.
The project has now proceeded through conceptual design plans and into a detailed engineering phase.
The final gym design, full build-out budget, as well as our much anticipated construction schedule will soon be ready for release, with a plan to be climbing by midwinter.
The KCA would like to remind climbers that it is not too late to get on board and support the project. Currently 75 individuals have contributed $500 or more to be recognized with “Wall Builder” status. Let’s get it to 100! Contact scottjeffreyphotograhy@hotmail.com
