35 kms of pure joy!

Rental info
lodge info
UPDATE: April 1, 2022: Because the trails are no longer being maintained, people are now permitted to walk or bike on our trails. Please purchase a day pass or Summer Membership if you do not have an Annual Membership. The fees help support year round maintenance of our trails and buildings - thank you.
​

UPDATE: March 31, 2022: Grooming has ceased for the season due to rising temperatures. Skate at own risk under deteriorating conditions - later in the day is recommended to allow ice to soften.  

IMPORTANT: In the event of a medical emergency please call 911. The lodge is not staffed a majority for the time and we do not have a "ski patrol" on site even when the lodge is staffed on weekends. Trail access is at your own risk. A majority of our trails have cell phone coverage, however if you are heading out alone, we recommend you leave details with a family member or friend. Use of Wapiti Nordic trails and purchase of membership or day pass includes assumption of risk.

Trail Maps:
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 are restricted to Multi Use trails ONLY during winter months. Groomed trails are for skiing only. Thank you.

​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 - commenced Monday, November 22, 2021
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):
  • Main stadium
  • Biathlon stadium
  • Big Dipper
  • South loop along Highway 40.
  • Always bring a headlamp in case you are inspired to travel beyond our lit trails!

Report a problem:
If you experience a blockage on the trail, please email us and provide specific information (trail name, location, etc) where possible

Trail Etiquette:
Please review here before using our trail network

Trailforks:
See our Mountain Bike page for additional info on trail maps and elevation profiles recorded by local trail enthusiasts!Saturdaw

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.
