As of today, November 28,2024, Kelowna Nordic is not quite ready to open Ski trails. Snowshoe trails are open. We need about 15 cm of new snow to open the ski trails.
Volunteers and groomers have been very busy rolling all the ski trails. Rolling compacts the snow so that the ground underneath will freeze. Frozen ground is essential to ensure that when grooming starts, dirt will not mix in with snow. This will give us the best chance for our trails to last as long as possible in the later season.
As far as I know, only Sovereign Lake and SilverStar are open for cross country skiing in Western Canada. Those facilities are blessed with high elevation. However, Kelowna Nordic elevation is just below the SilverStar Mountain trails so I am sure we will open soon.
Know that we will open for Skiing as soon as it is safe and practical. We are all looking forward to a wonderful winter season.
