Let's Embrace Winter Together!

Cross-Country Ski & Snowshoe day trips

UPDATE 2023/24 SEASON: We are planning! Trips will start Dec. 30 and run every Saturday and Sunday until the snow disappears (except the long weekend when we have one trip). The schedule will be up in November and the first trip registration won't be until Dec. 18 (ish). We will be holding a virtual information session in November where we will go over all the policies and procedures related to cross-country ski trips. Information will be sent to members in the fall.

IMPORTANT NOTE: XC will not be offering drive up options for lessons this year. We simply do not have the instructors to accommodate the numbers. If you would like to receive lessons from our instructors, please take the bus! 

Registration Overview

Schedule: Our schedule is available here.The schedule is subject to change due to weather, illness, and other circumstances outside our control. This schedule is what we hope happens!

Deadlines: Registration closes at 6:00 pm on the Wednesday before each trip. Sometimes it will stay open later if we know we are running the trip, but the bus isn't full. If the trip sells out early, join the waitlist and you may be moved on the trip if there are cancellations. To cancel a trip, you must email cancellations@hpsc.ca. Do not respond to the confirmation email. See our cancellation policies and procedures for more information.

Registration Modules: As trip modules are created, they will appear in the calendar below (which you can change to list view if you wish). The date and time the trips open for registration is on the module trip descriptions.The registration button will only appear once the trip is open for registration. If you don't see it, either the trip is not yet open, the registration deadline has passed, or the trip is full. Anything out of the ordinary will be noted on the trip description.

Walk-ons: If you miss the deadline and there are still spots available on the bus, we may allow "walk ons." Members can get on the bus without registering and we invoice you after. There is a $10 fee unless otherwise indicated. Check the status page to see if walk ons are allowed, at what stops, if there is a walk on fee, and any other details about it (you need to be logged in). The status page is updated by Friday at 12pm.

"Bring a friend" trips (i.e., guests): Guests are allowed on limited trips, usually at the end of the season when there is more space on the bus. Guests must know someone on the trip who registers them and is responsible for them. There is a $20 guest fee. There are detailed instructions on the registration module on how to register guests (if allowed on that trip). Guests are only allowed on the bus (no drive ups), must be registered in advance (no walk ons) and MUST sign the waiver.

    Registration Instructions

    1. Sign in to your account.  
    2. Find the trip you want in the calendar below. (You can also switch to list view - see the top right hand corner). There are two modules for every trip - one for bus participants and one for drive ups who wish to take lessons. Choose the one applicable to you.
    3. Read the trip description! Make sure you are ok with the trip as laid out before you register.
    4. Click "Register". The register button will only appear once the trip is open for registration. If you don't see it, either the trip is not yet open, the trip is full, or it is past the registration deadline.
    5. Register for the trip. Bus participants will pay for the bus, trail pass, and rentals (if needed) using your credit card, and answer questions about your pick-up location and lessons. Drive up participants will only sign up for lessons. You must pay for your own trail pass and rentals at the resort.
    6. You will receive an email confirmation with your registration. This email is for informational purposes only. DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL - no one will receive it. 

    Note: if you don't log in first, find the trip you want below, click register, and then you will have to provide the email you used when you registered for the club (if you use another one, you will not be able to successfully register). Then you may proceed with registration.
