Our ski season usually starts by late November and extends until late March. We offer full season memberships as well as day-passes and 5-pass booklets at very affordable, family-friendly rates. See our Membership page for fee rates and registration information.
Classic Skiing:
The majority of our 60+kms of trails are groomed and set for classic skiing, 6 days a week. Trails are marked as Green, Blue and Black indicating difficulty level. Please familiarize yourself with the trail etiquette posted at our trailheads. Please be aware and considerate of all other recreators enjoying the trails.
Skate Skiing:
We now offer 4.5 kms of dedicated skate skiing trails, as well as wider green trails which are groomed to accommodate skate skiers (See Trail maps for Skate Loop and green trails). We ask that skate skiers please be respectful of the set tracks and avoid using any of the single tracked trails in the trail network.
Snowshoeing:
Castlegar Nordic Ski Club now has a marked snowshoe loop available for the public at our Mud Lake Trailhead. If snowshoeing within our trail network area we request that visitors:
a) stay off the groomed trails,
b) travel adjacent to track-set trails and,
c) that trail crossings be infrequent and avoid disturbing the tracks set for classic and skate skiing.
If you happen to use our cabins or other facilities we would appreciate a donation towards their maintenance.
Please consider using the trails and areas outside of the Paulson Ski Trails for snowshoeing, such as around Nancy Greene Lake or along the roads and trails on the north side of highway #3.
Please note that DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED within the ski area.
Thank you!
