Crooked River Grooming

We are thrilled to announce that the Caledonia Nordic Ski Club has received a grant from the Province of BC to regularly groom the trails at Crooked River Provincial Park (Bear Lake)! Thanks to this support, we've added 6 km of stunning trails to our network for everyone to enjoy this winter.

A huge thank-you to our friends at YRB for their generous help in keeping the parking area clear, ensuring safe and easy access for our members. Keep an eye out—we will likely be out there soon, preparing the trails for a fantastic season ahead!

Adopt a Kilometre:

Looking for a meaningful way to support our club’s stunning trail system? There’s still time to "Adopt a Kilometre" this season! Through this program, members, families, businesses, and organizations can make a lasting impact on our Nordic trails, helping keep them safe, accessible, and enjoyable for everyone—from beginners to elite athletes.



Gift a Kilometre This Holiday Season!

All contributions to the Adopt a Kilometre program are eligible for an immediate tax receipt, making it a thoughtful gift with added tax benefits.

Why Adopt a Kilometre? Your donation supports:

• Trail Maintenance: Grooming, marking, and ensuring safety for all trail users
• Equipment Upkeep: Essential maintenance for our grooming and trail equipment
• Community Engagement: Supporting events and programs that get people outdoors and active

Every contribution counts. Join us in preserving one of the best trail systems in Northern BC—adopt a kilometre today and leave a lasting legacy on our trails!

Bunny Rabbit/Jack Rabbit

We are thrilled to introduce our new Program Coordinator for the season, Lindsay Mullen! She brings great energy to our team, and we’re excited for all she will contribute to our future athletes.

Registration for our Skills Development Program is open, and spots are available!

We are gearing up for what could be our best season yet. This year, we are moving our weeknight sessions to Wednesday evenings, giving young skiers a unique chance to train with club athletes who will be joining us as coaches to inspire the next generation.

To support our families with this new schedule, we’re also introducing a Saturday-only Jackrabbit option for those who prefer a lighter commitment. While we still recommend the full two-day program for the most rewarding experience, we want to offer flexibility that suits each family’s needs.

As our program grows, we are always seeking enthusiastic parent coaches to join us! No need to be an expert—just bring your positive spirit and love for our Nordic community. If you’re new to coaching, our Community Coaching Course from December 13-15 will give you all the skills and confidence you need.

Help us build a supportive, fun, and passionate Nordic skiing community!
