January 17, 2026 - We did it! It’s official—the Prinoth Bison grooming machine is finally ours! While we were disappointed we didn’t receive the gaming grant, that didn’t stop us.

After careful consideration and strong financial oversight, and—most importantly—the remarkable generosity of our members, donors and community partners, the Board decided to proceed with the purchase of the Bison.

This decision reflects the Board’s shared belief that reliable grooming is central to member experience and the future of our club. By purchasing the Bison now, we will realize significant long‑term savings, while ensuring consistent trail quality and enjoyment for generations to come.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! Your unwavering trust and steady support have turned our dream of buying a new grooming machine into reality. We couldn’t have done it without our incredible Kelowna Nordic community.

Join us for the celebration!
Come celebrate our new grooming machine, and honour past presidents, donors, and our incredible volunteers. Meet our dedicated Board members, and enjoy our wonderful winter facilities.
