Kimberley Nordic Club

Recreational Cross Country Skiing was conducted for several decades on the mining exploration trails at the base of North Star Mountain before the initial nordic trail (Centennial) was constructed. Over the years the trail system was expanded such that now The Kimberley Nordic network is a first class facility consisting of a variety of groomed trails complete with double track, single track and a centre skating lane. There are also narrow ungroomed single track trails to accommodate the more adventuresome bushwhacker. These trails, set and not, are of varying degrees of difficulty and length to accomodate all levels of nordic skiers. The modern facility includes a 3.3 kilometer lit loop for night skiing.

The Nordic Centre also provides easy access for touring and snowshoeing in the adjacent Kimberley Nature Park or onto well used trails in the surrounding crown forest lands. Click on popular trails for more detailed information. If you are a pure backcountry aficionado click on Bates Photo to view what the area has to offer.

Grooming during the regular season is scheduled for Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights plus after significant snowfalls.

Night skiing is every night during the season from dusk until 10:00 PM.
