Warmer-than-usual January temperatures in Kamloops are good for some and bad for others in the sporting community.
Listed below are a few examples.
The good
Mt. Paul
Golf-lovers who want to swing the sticks have been able to enjoy Mt. Paul Golf Course as of late, with a lack of precipitation and unseasonably warm temperatures enabling general manager Dan Latin to keep the course open.
How long will Mt. Paul be open?
"That's the millon-dollar question, isn't it?" quipped Latin, noting Mother Nature will have the final say.
TCC track and artificial turf field users
KTW received a press release from the city on Wednesday, Jan. 4, which said the Tournament Capital Centre's outdoor track and artificial field have been re-opened to the public.
"Jeff Putnam (the City of Kamloops' parks, recreation facilities and business operations manager) came to me said, 'What do you think?'" city recreation assistant Debbie Dalke told KTW.
"I said, 'As long as we have a safe situation out there, let's go for it.'"
On weekdays, the Hillside Stadium facilities will open at 5:30 a.m. and close at 11 p.m; 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on weekends.
To make group bookings, call Dalke at 250-828-3569.
All of the city's soccer and baseball fields remain closed to the public.
The bad
Stake Lake
There are at least two events at Stake Lake that have been affected by recent weather conditions.
A cross-country skiing event ? The first race on the B.C. Cup series ? has been cancelled due to poor trail conditions.
"The few skiers we've had said the conditions are quite treacherous and I think we're going to have shut down the races we had scheduled for this weekend," Stake Lake trails host Calder Graham said on Thursday, Jan. 5.
The races were officially cancelled on Friday, Jan. 6.
"The trails out here are hard-packed ice," Graham said.
Meanwhile, the B.C. Ice Racing Series, in which motorbike riders race on the frozen lake, have a test-and-tune event scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 8.
"Obviously, it's pretty warm right now and we'll be making a decision probably [today, Jan. 6]," said Ken McClelland, president of the Greater Kamloops Motorcycle Association.
"We monitor the ice conditions and ice thickness."
If the event is cancelled, it will not be a great blow to the series, as the real racing is not scheduled to begin until Jan. 15.
McClelland said there is also a rain-out day scheduled for February. Any races that are cancelled can take place then.
Logan Lake
This weekend's River City Racers Polarthon and speed-skating events have been cancelled.
The Varion Pond Hockey Classic, scheduled for next weekend (Jan.13 to Jan. 15), is still a go.
