Winter Activities
Bowron Lake, BC | Thomas DrasdauskisVisit a guest ranch or lodge, stay in a cozy cabin, or take on some winter camping as you visit wide open spaces filled with winter activity opportunities. Find fantastic snow conditions from mid-December to mid-March, perfect for cross-country skiing, downhill skiing, heli skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, iand much more. As the temperatures settle below freezing, strap on a pair of snowshoes and head into the wilderness along quiet trails to find the perfect ice-fishing lake, or enjoy a family afternoon touring by horse-drawn sleigh courtesy of a local guest ranch.
Take to the trails with a pair of cross-country skis and enjoy the exceptional trail systems and lengthy groomed networks that you can explore at your leisure, including Hallis Lake Ski & Snowshoe Trails in Quesnel, the Bull Mountain XC Ski and Snowshoe area located north of Williams Lake or, to the south, your choice of 108 Mile Trail Network, 99 Mile Houses’ network (run by 100 Mile Nordics), and to the southeast, the Big Bar Cross Country Ski Trails outside of Clinton. Downhill skiers will enjoy the runs at Troll Resort – excellent skiing on a family-friendly ski hill and a 2nd fully functional lodge will open soon! For the ultimate ski trip, take a look at a heli-skiing vacation to find unlimited powder and maximum vertical.
Snowmobilers can delight in the sheer magnitude of authorized trails waiting to be explored, including alpine peaks, noble forests, and lake tours. Try out the Gold Rush Snowmobile Trail, a 216 km (134 mi) long snowmobile trail that runs between 70 Mile House to Horsefly. Ride your snowmobile through 70 Mile House, 100 Mile House, Lac La Hache, Horsefly, Likely and Wells while passing scenery including coniferous forests, trout-filled lakes and pristine alpine. Along the way, find access to Provincial Parks, campsites and a variety of services. This trail is also a terrific option for fat bike enthusiasts! At the end of the day of exploring and enjoying winter activities, curl up with a good book and a blanket by the fire in your cabin, chalet or lodge and rest up for more adventure in the morning!
