Two ski tracks curving through birch trees toward a small log warming hut with smoke rising from its chimney and skis leaning by the door

Cross-country skiing at Holloway Lake

Ski through the birches, then thaw out by the stove.

About 15 km of groomed trails, rental skis that fit, a lesson for your first time out, and a log hut with soup on the stove.

Your first visit, in plain words

Three things to do on your first day.

  1. Check the grooming report

    It is posted here and on the board by the gate by 8am each open day. It says which trails were groomed that morning and which are closed.

  2. Pay and get fitted at the hut

    Buy your pass at the hut window. Rental skis, boots and poles take about ten minutes to fit. Wear layers and gloves.

  3. Start on the Meadow Loop

    A flat 1.5 km loop in sight of the hut. Ski it once or twice, warm up inside, then decide on Birch Run.

The grooming report

Look before you drive out.

Our groomer goes out early after new snow. The report says which trails were groomed and which are closed, and it is posted by 8am. We cannot promise snow: check the grooming report before you come.
