Cross-Country Skiing
Hit your stride in the fresh air.
With more than 50 Nordic skiing areas across the province, it’s no wonder British Columbia is a popular cross-country ski destination.
Hit the groomed track for skate and classic skiing, or venture into the backcountry to forge your own path. For a humbling experience, follow in the footsteps of Olympic champions at Sovereign Lake and Whistler Olympic Park. Many cross-country locations offer lit trails for nighttime adventures, as well as dog-friendly loops for your four-legged companion.
