WE NEED YOUR HELP! The Heart and Stroke is indeed a wonderful organization that works diligently to save lives and to help people live healthier lives. On  Sat. Jan 28 th  at 1:00 p.m.. Whaleback will be hosting the Snow Owl Classic and a good portion of the registration fees for this event will be donated to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. So start preparing for the Snowy Owl! And take your friends along ... no day pass fee that day for non-members ... "rentals at $3.00 a set until the rental closet is empty"... we want the general public to come out and get their hearts pumping. We want you to help promote this event and at the same time get people on skis by bringing your friends along. You can ski any distance you wish in the Snowy Owl from .5 km to 8.5 km and take as long as you want to get back to the chalet. It is a mass participation event, rather than a race. Now there will be a gaggle of fast skiers lined up near the front, but don’t worry about them as you’ll never lay eyes on them again after I shout "Allez"!! This is also a good old fashioned classic event, meaning you should stay in the set track, rather than skate your course of choice. Almost forgot ... the Blow Me Down Club from Corner Brook always mount a sneak attack on Whaleback at the Snowy Owl and they come out in droves and try to whisk the Snowy Owl Cup back to Corner Brook. Several years ago they were successful in their attempt... we DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN! There are three teams challenging for the cup this year, the Kippens and West team, the Stephenville and East crowd and our nemesis to the North Blow-Me-Down Blow-outs. Help crush the invaders from the North and raise funds for Heart and Stroke! We look forward to seeing you there!

Entry Fee: $5.00 each or $10.00 family and $3.00 for children and students under 18.
