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  Kimberley Nature Park/Forest Crown Trails and the Trickle Creek Golf Course.  You can view the Trailforks Winter Trail Map for a general idea of what is usually packed in the winter months.

THE SNOWDOG

KTS has two SnowDogs to groom a selection of our trails for winter use.  A snow dog is a motorized sled that can fit through tight spaces and tow a groomer. KTS work in partnership with the Kimberley Nature Park and the Friends of Lois Creek  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! We have one snow dog designated to grooming the Lois Creek trails and the second for grooming the Nature Park and Forest Crown trails, ensuring that we are able to maintain a higher quality of winter trail.

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.
