Welcome to Nakkertok

Join the Award-Winning Nakkertok CSM Team!

 

Anyone interested in skiing in the 2010 Canadian Ski Marathon as a Tourer is invited to join the Nakkertok Touring Team! Veterans, new skiers, everyone is welcome.

 

In 2008 our team came first in our category, and we were awarded the Gold RA Trophy! Last year, with a smaller team, we won the Bronze Trophy!

 

Who? You, your ski buddies, your family! The number of sections skied by the top 20 members of the Team are counted as our team total. So even one section skied by the youngest skier can count. Team member ages ranged from 9 to 70. We skied in family groups, with partners or solo.

 

When? The 2010 Marathon will be held the weekend of February 13 and 14th.

 

Where? The Marathon will run from Gatineau/Buckingham to Lachute, with the mid-way point in Montebello.

 

How far? The trail is divided into 10 sections, each between 12 and 22 km long, ranging from easy, through intermediate to difficult. You can ski from 1 to 5 consecutive sections each day. In the past, team members have skied from 3 to 7 sections over two days.

Rosalind Riseborough

In recent years he was out skiing regularly in the field and enjoyed the sight of Bunnyrabbits and Jackrabbits learning how to ski. Nakkertokers will dearly miss seeing Hans on the trails, but we will always feel his presence.

End-of-Season Banquet at Nakkertok South on Saturday, April 25th, 6 p.m. 

Now that your skis are stored away (or not?) till next season, it’s banquet time! This year again, we're staying home: our annual get-together will be at Nakkertok South. Let's celebrate the end of an EXTRAORDINARY ski season!

There will be a craft table for kids, outdoor fun, the traditional “guess the number of gummy things in the jar” contest, great stories, a slide show featuring the best – and worst – pics of the year, and our very own annual awards. Please remember that the surroundings might be muddy so bring good boots and appropriate clothing.

So that everyone can enjoy the evening, we’re going for the ever-winning pot-luck formula. We ask each family to bring a main course AND an appetizer OR dessert. Please be generous with your portions, as we seem to find that skiers have big appetites! We will provide water, juice, milk, tea and coffee, but feel free to bring your favourite beverages (wine, beer, pop, etc.).

In order to keep this event as low-impact as possible, we strongly suggest that everyone bring their own plates, cups, etc. We will have all the necessary supplies if you need them (throw-away plastic type), but if we all take care of our own dishes, we will greatly reduce the amount of garbage that we produce.

Last but not least: if you are available to give a hand at this event so it runs as smoothly as possible, please contact Andrée at 819-827-2387 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Looking forward to seeing you all on the 25th, right after the AGM and the spring clean-up!

Work up an appetite for the banquet later that evening...
Nakkertok’s Annual Spring Clean-up Day at Nakkertok South is also conveniently April 25, starting at 9 a.m.

• Want to get a start on your off-season training program (chopping wood is great for the upper body)?
• Feeling that you haven’t yet fulfilled your volunteer commitment?
• Looking for an excuse to go for a walk in the woods before the bugs get too bad?
• Want to be part of the Nakkertok Wood Piling and Stacking Contest?

Bring work gloves and rubber boots. There are lots of easy jobs so kids are welcome. Bring a lunch and some drinking water. Things should wrap up around 1 p.m.
