NEW USERS

  • Please take a trail map with you, as there are some locations where snowmobile trails merge with our ski trails.

GROOMING

  • Trails are maintained by a team of volunteer groomers. The club has various grooming equipment including chain drags, a track-setter, and a skate-groomer.

  • Grooming clinics are held to train grooming and maintenance volunteers in the preparation of classic and skate ski trails. For grooming advice, see the Ski Trail Grooming Guide prepared by the NWT Recreation & Parks Association.

DOGS

Want to bring your pooch skiing or walking on the ski trails with you? Please follow proper trail etiquette:

  • Pick up after your dog.

  • Keep your dog on a leash, under control and out of the way of other skiers.

  • When trails are groomed, keep to the side of the trail and keep your dog out of the ski tracks.

  • Don't bring your dog to racing events such as the Loppet.

  • Don't bring your dog into the chalet.
