Cross Country Skiing and Snowshoeing

Friday, January 16th, 2026 Update

Winter is back and we are OPEN!

We received 20+ cm of fresh snow Thursday… it’s a winter wonderland out there again.

We’re pleased to confirm that our Green and Yellow ski trails are OPEN along with all snowshoe trails. The Green trail has classic tracks in and very good coverage. On the Yellow trail, all skate lanes have been groomed but with some wind-swept areas coverage was a bit thin to set tracks. The cold overnight temperatures helped things set up nicely. We have packed trails “out back” and after letting things set up, we may be able to open more trails for the weekend - stay tuned…

All snowshoe trails are OPEN and beautiful, with more than 20cm of fresh snow offering excellent conditions for exploring the trails.

With the fresh snow it’s shaping up to be a wonderful winter weekend so buy your pass, grab your friends, and come out and enjoy the trails!

Don't forget to pre-purchase your daily trail pass and/or membership here

PLEASE NOTE: In order to avoid disappointment, trail passes are available for sale when we are relatively aware of snow, trail, and weather conditions and we can be open. Typically this is about 3 days in advance. We will post our opening as soon as possible! Please check this trail report page and our local weather before purchasing.

General Information - Skiing and Snowshoeing at Circle R

  • Circle R Ranch has 13 km of groomed and track-set trails for classic-skiers, skate-skiers, and snowshoers of all levels. Our heated main lodge features an indoor waxing area, lunch tables, and washrooms. We also offer rentals—ski rentals at the main lodge and snowshoe rentals at the trailhead.

  • We offer ski rentals at the main lodge and snowshoe rentals at the trailhead.

    Like our trail tickets, all rentals must be pre-purchased online here.

    Sometimes rentals are not available if conditions are “rock skiing” or other extenuating circumstances.

  • We continue to use our online booking system for skiing and snowshoeing rentals and trail passes. Walk-in trail tickets are not available at this time.

    Due to weather and trail conditions, passes are sometimes only available morning-of. We post ahead of time whenever possible.

  • Our main lodge is open for rentals, warm-ups, and washrooms; however, no food or beverages are available for sale at this time.

    You are welcome to bring your own food to enjoy on site.

  • At this time, because we have our own animals on site (horses, goats, chickens, and more), we are unable to allow dogs or other pets on our trails.

  • At this time, we do not offer individual lessons.

    However, schools and large groups can book a day of skiing including a lesson. Please see our School Program page or contact us for more information.
