About us
The focus of this meet up is primarily on hiking in the summer, and cross-country skiing in the winter. That said, if you have a good idea that fits the "outdoor enthusiasts" description, by all means, send in the request and let's post it as an event. Examples are: biking, camping, snowshoeing, kayaking, and canoeing.
Most of the events will be near Saskatoon, but there are many interesting places to explore within a few hours' drive of the city so...let's get out there.
Now the unpleasant part: meetup sites cost money, so in order to offset the costs of this site I'm requesting that participants pay $10 per year, due at the first activity you participate in each year.
See you on the trails...
