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.
Grooming 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.
