Sno-Parks

Sno-Parks require a permit, either daily or annual. An annual pass pays for itself with more than three times a season.

Cabin Creek
- Racing venue, groomed for skating and classic
- Hills and flats (The Road)
- Excellent real-time weather and grooming reports
Crystal Springs
- Hills and flats, connects to Hyak / Iron Horse
- Parking lot shared with snowmobiles
Hyak / Iron Horse
- Converted Rails-to-Trails
- Heated changing rooms / bathrooms
- The parking lot is shared with a sled hill so it can be very crowded if you get there late. If so, go to Crystal Springs as you can ski the same flat Iron Horse trail and the parking lot is never full.

Nordic Ski Camp

I have twice attended Glenn Bond’s XC Ski Camp at Whistler and strongly endorse it. It’s a combination of skills work and skiing sessions.

An excellent trail system in Einsiedeln, a town known for its famous Abbey. Open farmland is transformed into rolling trails an easy train ride from Zürich.
