The 2006 Trail Appliances Autumn Gold Curling Classic was the 29th annual edition of the event. It marked the first Grand Slam event of the Women's World Curling Tour. It was also the first ever women's Grand Slam event to be held, as it was the first season for the women's Grand Slam. It joined the Wayden Transportation Classic, the Casinos of Winnipeg Classic and the Players' Championship as the four women's Slams of the 2006–07 curling season.[1] The event was held October 6-9 at the Calgary Curling Club in Calgary, Alberta. The total purse for the event was $51,000 with $14,000 going to the winning team of Kelly Scott, Jeanna Schraeder, Sasha Carter and Renee Simons. The defending Canadian champion Scott rink beat Crystal Webster's rink, 8–5 in the final. This snapped a six-game winning steak for Team Webster, who lost the game after giving up steals of two and three in the seventh and eighth ends, respectively. With the loss, Webster's team took home $11,000.[2]
