Hey everyone,

Join us on New Years Eve in Canmore for some ski orienteering, and maybe stay after and join in Canmore's New Years Eve festivities

Visit the event website for full details & pre-registration

Ski Orienteering noon – 4:00pm

We're going to set up at least a couple of courses so you and your family and friends can enjoy the afternoon skiing at the Canmore Nordic Centre. Details are yet to be finalized, but for sure there will be an "Easy & Short" course for kids which will also serve as a Sprint race for adults, plus a longer course that will most likely be a "Scatter" format, with self-seeding - get as many controls as possible in 90 minutes so that experienced and novice skiers can all enjoy themselves. 

After the orienteering you can take part in Canmore's family-friendly New Years Eve celebrations with a public party on the frozen–pond, with fire pits, music, and fireworks at 8pm for the kids and midnight for those that can stay up that late. (Accommodation in Canmore is booking up fast, and many places have a two or three night minimum over New Years Eve – which makes the 8pm fireworks quite appealing ;-)

Canmore's "Party on the Pond" 5:00pm - midnight

Skating under a starlit sky – lights twinkling against a mountain backdrop – music, laughter, family and friends – New Year’s Eve on the 10th Street Pond – a Canmore tradition. Take a horse and wagon ride, have a hot dog and hot chocolate, warm yourself by a blazing fire. Each year hundreds of families come out for Canmore’s annual Party on the Pond. Perhaps it’s because we’re a community of outdoor enthusiasts or maybe it’s the old-fashioned charm that the evening offers. Whatever the reason, we’d like to invite you to be part of a Canmore tradition. See you there!
