It's Winter! You're in Calgary! Go Out and Have Fun!

Cross-Country Skiing

Areas in Calgary normally trackset by machine:

• Shaganappi Golf Course

• Confederation Golf Course

• Maple Ridge Golf Course
(subject to available volunteers and club equipment)

• Canada Olympic Park offers a super training course but perhaps too difficult for beginner skiers

• Hawk Ridge south of Calgary off the 22 X highway offers super skiing on varied terrain where the snow is extensively captured by fencing and moved by snow blowers to offer great skiing

Areas close by that offer tracksetting, very good terrain, varied ski trails and good skiing when there is good snow:

• West Bragg Creek

• Ribbon Creek

• Bearberry Nordic Centre (near Sundre)

• Sandy McNabb

• Canmore Nordic Centre

Areas farther away that are well worth the drive for trackset trails, varied terrain
and good snow:

• Peter Lougheed Park

• Mt. Shark Trails

• Smith-Dorrien Trails

• Chateau Lake Louise trails

• Emerald Lake/Field trails
