We highly recommend to check current trail conditions before heading there. You can do this either through the tour location website/Facebook (if available) or you can post a question on our CNSC Google Group or in our private Facebook group. Our Google Group members are very resourceful on helping you with all kinds of information on trail conditions, where to ski, ski equipment, waxing, etc.

Not sure where to lead a tour? We suggest posting that question on our Google Group or our private Facebook group if you need help in making that decision. You can also offer a popular tour called "Find the Snow" and make a decision on where as the date gets closer.

Of course, if snow conditions do not cooperate, you are free to cancel or postpone the tour. Should you need to cancel or postpone your tour, we ask that you make that decision by 7 PM the day before. In addition, we ask all Tour Leaders to send an email to the CNSC GoogleGroup by 8 PM the night before with your announcement that the tour is cancelled or postponed.
