DAY-USE NORDIC SKIING PROGRAM

The 2007-2008 winter season will see many exciting changes at Callaghan Country Wilderness Adventures.

With the opening of the new Olympic Nordic Centre in December, the biggest improvement is the brand new paved access road that will be plowed all winter long. This improved access has enabled Callaghan Country to make a host of improvements, including a new base area, ski-in access for our overnight lodge programs and a new Day-Use Nordic Program, geared for local and regional Nordic skiers.

Day-Use Nordic Program
With the new paved road access, Callaghan Country can now offer day-use access to its incredible Nordic terrain, an exprience previously reserved for weekenders. Better yet, we have agreed with the neighbouring 2010 Olympic Nordic venue to honour each other's trail tickets and season passes, in an effort to create a seamless and fully comprehensive Nordic skiing experience in the Callaghan Valley.

Together with the new Olympic Nordic venue we will offer more than 60 km of Nordic trails including over 40 km of recreational trails to suit skiers of every ability level.

With the Olympic venue's world-class Nordic and ski jumping facilities combined with Callaghan Country's pristine wilderness setting, spectacular scenic qualities, full-service backcountry lodge and range of winter activities, the Callaghan Valley promises to become one of the premiere destinations in the world for Nordic skiing and self-propelled winter recreation of every kind.

The Easy Way Up
We operate a snow shuttle service from our base to Callaghan Lodge for those wishing to save their energy for the upper valley trail network, and for those preferring to go snowshoeing or alpine ski touring. The shuttle service is via our snow coach, a modified F350 crew cab truck with a passenger pod and rubber tracks, or via our snow cat (seats one in the cab and up to 4 on the deck). The 9.5km shuttle will take you to the junction of Upper and Lower Wild Spirit at the Provincial Park boundary. From there it is a 2.5km ski to Callaghan Lodge.

Shuttle departures are weather dependent as the shuttle cannot travel in heavy snow conditions. Please call us at 604.938.0616 to inquire about shuttle availability and departures.

Great snow in November, 2007.
