1973 - 2023 50th Anniversary Celebrations
Throughout 2023 Wostawea celebrated a huge milestone, our 50th anniversary! On-snow activities were held all season long and 26 Time Capsule stories were shared in our weekly newsletters. You can link to these wonderful stories below.
Thank you, Wostaweans, for honouring our first 50 years as a ski club and for contributing to the next 50 years of fun and fitness on the trails.
We are pleased to share these important Time Capsule stories with you and thank the many Wostaweans who have captured the rich history of our club.
