Descriptions:
The Yellow (1.4 km) and
Gold (2 km)
The short distances and
relatively flat terrain of these trails make them ideally suited to
both novice skiers as an introduction to skiing as well as to more
advance and elite skiers as a warm up and cool down. The Yellow
and part of the Gold are lit for night skiing.
Purple (3 km)
The Club's most popular
trail, suited to all levels of skiing. It features gradual
uphills, rolling terrain and a scenic return through a coniferous
forest. The trail may be a bit challenging to the novice skier
as it includes a few more rolling hills than the yellow and gold
trails.
Brown (4.3 km)
This trail provides a
challenging ski through hardwood forests and along scenic
ridges. The up hills are steep but the long down hills are worth
the climb.
Red (5 km)
This trail is the Club's
primary race trail. It is both physically and technically
demanding and is best suited to skiers with strong uphill and downhill
techniques.
Blue (8 km)
Winding through hardwood
bush overlooking High Lake, this trail can push your cardiovascular
system to its maximum. For those not so inclined, there are many
spots to step and enjoy the view. After an initial 3 km climb,
the skier is rewarded with several kilometres of rolling terrain and a
long downhill run of almost 1 km.
Blue X (9 km)
The Blue Trail Extension
begins as a combination of the Blue and Green trails, then parallels
the pipeline, meets the Pipeline Access Road (part of the Green
Trail), and then rejoins the Blue Trail. It provides a slightly
longer climb and descent in addition to the regular blue.
Green (18 km)
This trail branches off
from the Blue Trail and leads you into a more remote wilderness
setting. There is a spectacular view of Trout Lake from
"The Lookout". Most skiers carry a water or juice
bottle, plus snacks or a lunch due to the the length of the
trail. This trail is narrower than the others and groomed only
for classic technique.
Directions:
From the HWY 11/17
junction near Seymour Street, head northwest on HWY 11/17.
Turn right onto Trout Lake Road for 8.5 km. Turn right onto Peninsula Road and left onto North Shore
Road.
