Trail Maps:
Purple trails start at the main (Steve Cooper) lodge while pink trails start from the North parking lot off Highway 40. We recommend that you print a copy of the map at home and bring it in your pocket. Phones can "die" quickly in the cold! There are permanent trail maps posted at each intersection. Note that dogs are only permitted on the North (pink) trails as noted below. Snowshoers, fat bikes and hikers restricted to Multi Use trails during winter months.
- UPDATE: Wednesday, Feb 24th AM: New classic track on Wolf (dog trails) and Half Moon + trying to rework the skate land on Half Moon. Skate from main stadium to biathlon stadium + Claw Ridge is in place. Use caution if skiing anywhere else due to icy conditions. Planning to work on the skate lane on North trails on Thursday Feb 25th.
- UPDATE: Tuesday, Feb 23rd, 2021: Conditions are still not suitable for recreational skiers. Please hold off on skiing until we are able to rework the snow and lay new tracks. Stay tuned!
- UPDATE: Monday, Feb 22nd, 2021: CAUTION - all trails are EXTREMELY icy and skiing is not recommended at this time. If the snow softens as the day warms we will attempt to renovate the snow but may have to wait until Tuesday 23rd AM. Please check back here before heading out.

Multi-Use Trail System:
The Multi-Use Trail System was added November 2018 for snowshoers, back country skiers and fat biking and provides a unique experience for non nordic users to enjoy the outdoors during the winter months. Trail head signs have been posted, the mapping (on Trailforks) is up to date, and new trail navigation markers are in place. See the maps above. Dogs are permitted on the NORTH multi use trails if accompanying snowshoers, back county skiers or fat bikes - sorry no pedestrian users during the winter. See our Fat Bike page for further information.
Trails with Lighting:
We are very fortunate to have approximately 5km of lit trails at Wapiti Nordic. Lights are turned on from 5:00pm - 9:00pm on Monday - Thursday evenings on the following trails (see Complete Trail System map above):

Inclement Weather: Please check on Facebook if there is inclement weather. The lodge is generally closed early if the roads are bad due to freezing rain or heavy rain. Each program informs the participants what their cut off temperature is. For example the Chicks program uses a cut off of -25 C. On evenings that the temperature is -30 by 5 pm the lodge is closed early. These guidelines have been developed based on the number of skiers that come out, and to ensure the safety of WNSC staff and volunteers. As always the trails are open 24/7.
