Spring Grooming

As the seasons begin to shift, our grooming team faces unique challenges in keeping the trails in top condition. Warmer daytime temperatures soften the snow, while cooler nights cause it to refreeze, creating variable conditions that make grooming tricky. Timing is everything—too early, and the trails stay too firm; too late, and they turn slushy. Our team is working hard to find the best approach each day to ensure a great skiing experience.

Potential 5 km ski trail expansion on

Terus private land

Caledonia Nordic Ski Club (CNSC) is exploring the addition of approximately 5 km of new ski trails on Terus Construction’s private land near the Dog Patch trails. These trails would feature gentle terrain with some undulations, similar in style to the Raven’s Col and Birch Bend. The area consists of open forests, and minimal tree removal is expected.

Key Details:

Land Agreement: CNSC has a land-sharing agreement with Terus Construction, which supports this project. Lheidli T’enneh First Nation has no early concerns.
Funding & Costs: CNSC will seek external funding, with development costs estimated at $50,000–$80,000. No significant impact on operational budgets or membership fees is anticipated, though grooming costs may see a slight increase.
Why Expand? CNSC is the largest ski club in B.C. but has one of the smallest land bases. Parts of the existing dog trail network on Terus land will become inaccessible due to future aggregate developments. Expanding the trail network addresses member feedback and provides a long-term investment in additional skiable terrain, with potential for dog-friendly trails.

We welcome member input on this initiative.

Note: There have been some updates made to the survey
