WINTER TRAILS
To help us fund our winter trail maintenance, please purchase a 2021 TrailPass at any of Kimberley's gear stores or make a donation here. There are also many other ways you can get involved.
THE SNOWDOG
KTS has purchased a SnowDog to groom some of our local trails for winter use. A snow dog is a motorized sled that can fit through tight spaces and tow a groomer. KTS, the Kimberley Nature Park and the Friends of Lois Creek are all working together to make this happen. All trails are still for non motorized use throughout the winter with the exception of permitted grooming equipment. Enjoy the trails on skis, snowshoes and fatbikes this winter!

WINTER TRAIL GUIDELINES
Please be mindful of the conditions. Enjoy the trails this winter.
- Cross-Country Skiing is acceptable on all trails. If using roads in the parks, please set track to one side.
- Snowshoeing has a positive impact on the trails especially after recent snowfalls clearly demarcating the walker/snowshoe side from ski side. Please remember to not snowshoe on classic ski tracks.
- Biking on packed trails is appropriate, whether groomed or not as long as trail integrity is not compromised. Fat bikes with tires wider than 3” are recommended.
- Running and Walking is appropriate as long as trail integrity is not compromised. If you are post-holing, it’s good etiquette to turn around.
WINTER GROOMING ROUTES
There are three areas being groomed this winter along with a number of other trails that are accessible in the winter. Lois Creek, the Trickle Creek Golf Course and the Kimberley Nature Park/Forest Crown Trails. You can view the Trailforks Winter Trail Map for a general idea of what is usually packed in the winter months.
