Why join Five Winds?

Being a member of Five Winds Backcountry Ski & Snowshoe Club has great benefits! Consider the following:

  • Member rates for our winter Sunday bus to get out of the city to ski or snowshoe
  • Access to the club's 200km of trails, with no trail fees
  • Be with like-minded outdoors people who love the wilderness and care for the land
  • Be with people experienced in the backcountry and gain from their knowledge
  • Access to the club Gear Board, to buy/sell/swap equipment and discuss equipment
  • Be part of a distribution group for members and receive notices about camping trips, exploration in the north, and equipment for sale

Our membership period is from December 1 to November 30. 

When you join as a member or renew your membership after March 1, then your membership will be extended for the period that starts on December 1 of the same calendar year. For example, if you join on Sep 10, 2024, then your new membership will be good through until Dec 1, 2025.

Your profile may not reflect this immediately since we manually make the adjustment, usually within a few days.

This year, we're offering annual membership for $40 plus the fare of a prepaid credit for any 2025 winter bus. This gives you a full credit for one winter bus at a savings of $3! The prepaid credit is non-refundable based on the assumption that you are joining the club to go at least once on our winter bus events. If you are joining Five Winds for a different reason, please use the Contact Us link at the bottom for other arrangements.
