Each Christmas Day SLNC donates all day-ticket revenue to the Vernon Food Bank. We are excited to announce that we will be donating $1959 to our local service group providing food to those most in need in our community. These small gifts back to those less fortunate are so important. From all of us at Sovereign Lake, we wish to thank you for your kind words and encouragement this challenging season. Happy New Year!
This holiday season we require everyone to pre-book their tickets online to reduce congestion in the lodge and ensure we are able to contact trace our guests as safely as possible. We have a limited amount of ski and snowshoe tickets available each day so do not expect to show up on the day and be able to ski.
Having troubles with booking your tickets? Check out the resources below.
Unsure what to get your significant other, family member, or friend this holiday season? Our gift certificates can be used for everything from season passes, to lessons. We sell gift certificates in any denomination over $20. Please call, email us, or come into the lodge and ask for more details.
Even though were are experiencing an unprecedented and challenging season, we want you to feel safe and at home when visiting Sovereign this holiday season. Here are some tips and ideas to have the best at-home holiday ever.
Thanks to a generous donation from Kal Tire, SLNC will be the recipient of a new Rescue Toboggan in early January. This new toboggan will provide significantly more protection from the elements for patients and provides a jump seat for a first responder to travel directly with the patient to monitor their vitals and provide additional medical assistance should it be necessary during travel to our First Aid Room.
SLNC is also investing energy and staffing with more of a first aid presence to provide our customers with a high quality of care in case of an injury. As more and more people take up cross country skiing, the necessity for increased first aid presence grows.
Our number 1 priority is keeping our members and the public safe. This will be a great addition to our safety equipment.
By order and direction of the Provincial Health Officer (PHO) and Viasport BC there have been further updates on December 2nd and 3rd to the restrictions announced in the written Order from November 19th, which is accessible here.
Also CCBC, our sport governing body has sent us the following guidelines following these latest PHO decisions. It can be found here: http://www.crosscountrybc.ca/return-sport-plan-%E2%80%93-cross-country-bc
The term “team sports” applies to all social and performance adult activities within an organization as determined by Viasport and CCBC. This new mandate requires the temporary suspension of all Masters XC, Masters HP, and U35 Programming taking place at Sovereign Lake Nordic Club. The duration of this new order is undetermined at this time.
The Ministry of Health reminds us that the intention of the restrictions is to minimize the number of people we interact with and reduce travel in order to significantly reduce COVID-19 transmission. As you know, travel and interactions are a key part of the sport experience, however, during this very critical time in this global pandemic, it is important all travel and interaction, including those for sport, be put on pause.
Specifically, the latest updates include:
All indoor and outdoor team sports for people 19 years of age and older are suspended. The website lists a number of sports as examples, it is important to note that this is not an exhaustive list. All team sports must follow these restrictions.
Kindly,
Troy Hudson
General Manager
Sovereign Lake Nordic Club

If you are unable to come to Sovereign this winter we are honouring all pass refunds. If you are purchasing day tickets please be cognizant of these new rulings and book no more than a week from your visit as we do not refund day tickets.
With our new pass scanning technology, we have had a couple of our members volunteer to scan passes with our hand scanners out in the parking lot entrance and out front of the lodge. This is a great opportunity to meet more members, and help us to keep traffic moving much more quickly. We are looking for people to do 2 hr shifts between 9 and 2pm, Friday through Sunday and over the Xmas Holidays every day.
Contact Troy Hudson, General Manager, at [email protected] if you would be interested in more information.
