Tranquille Escapes Complete esthetician and massage Whiteway aiming for record By Kristian Rasmussen Pioneer Staff The wonder that weaves across Lake Windermere’s frozen shoreline is returning to the Columbia Valley in its fourth year with renewed ambition to break a Guinness World Record. The Whiteway, a groomed skating and cross country skiing track completed in partnership with the Invermere Business Committee and the Toby Creek Nordic Ski Club, is poised to cover 175,000 square metres and to run just over 17 kilometres this year. “Our goal is to make the Whiteway the largest skating surface in the world, which is currently held by the Rideau Canal in Ottawa,” said Justin Atterbury of the Invermere Business Committee. Attempting to break the world record of 170,000 square metres of ice is a massive effort that begins with a volunteer from the Toby Creek Nordic Ski Club plowing all of the snow along the 17-kilometre Whiteway, a task that usually requires two to three passes in a special truck outfitted with a plow attachment, said Lyle Wilson, Toby Creek Nordic Ski Club president. Next, the group uses a snowmobile with a special trail grooming attachment to go over the course and Fresh Professional Salon & Beauty Outlet Hair, esthetics, hair removal and massage.

The club has to repeat the grooming process every time that it snows. Last year’s season was cut short due to warm weather melting the track by mid-January. Typically, the course opens for winter holidays and runs until the middle of February. “We are a lake community, and the lake adds so much to the town in summer,” Mr. Wilson said. “The Whiteway makes the beauty of Lake Windermere equally valuable in the winter months. I encourage everybody in the area to get out and enjoy the Whiteway on cross country skis, skates and walking, but please try to keep your vehicles off the trail — it means so much to so many people.” Although the Toby Creek Nordic Ski Club does not monitor track use, Mr. Wilson estimates that the Whiteway was accessed at least 10,000 times over the last winter, with as many as 500 enthusiasts on the track in a single day. The Whiteway course has been featured on the Discovery channel’s Daily Planet, as well as in articles in the Toronto Star.

I thought mayors and councillors had to be voted in by their constituents — silly me! This process has not happened before in B.C. The Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, Bill Bennett, was in Europe last summer colluding with interested Jumbo investors. The Jumbo area is a pristine back country of Crown land.

Do not worry about opposition from lowly local area residents. They obviously do not count. Investment money from outside Canada for dubious causes is supported by the current B.C. government.
