Trail Conditions

Tuesday, April 4, 2023

Hello skiers,  Trail grooming has now ended for the season.  Please use caution with changing conditions.  The Castlegar Nordic Ski Club would like to thank everyone for coming skiing!

Check the Trail Grooming Report below for details.


General Grooming Notes:  Unless otherwise noted above, trail grooming usually occurs Tuesday to Sunday, starting with the beginner (green) trails.  Most of the Paulson Cross Country Ski Trails are groomed and tracked for classic style skiing but wider trails will have a packed skate lane.  If skate skiing, please take care to avoid impacting the classic tracks.  Please note, dogs are not allowed on the trails.  Thank you!
