The Valhalla Hills Nordic Ski Club promotes cross-country skiing in the North Slocan Valley. We groom and maintain approximately 12km of trail, 4km of the rail trail in Hills, BC and 8+kms at Valhalla Hills Ski Trails midway between Nakusp and New Denver (24km:24km).
For all date and timetable information, please go to ‘Kids Programs’
Non Members welcome
You don’t have to be a member to use the trails we groom, but we ask that you sign the liability release form at the trail head and leave us a some money to help us cover the cost of plowing the parking lot, and grooming the trails. Dozens of new skiers come and go and yet there is only $10 in the box. Nelson Nordic found that when the stationed a person at their trail head to collect fees their non member contributions went up ten times. We don’t want to do that, but we would like fair contributions to keep us grooming. After 15 cm of snow our grooming costs are about $200 between fuel, machinery and groomer.

Hey skiers, as of 8am Dec 20 main power line trail is groomed and mostly track set. All side loops have been snowmobile packed and one pass with groomer has been made on loop above parking lot. Hope to get back to finish grooming by morning of Dec 21. Thanks for being patient with the new guy on the groomer. Wes.
All trails groomed and ready for action. Have fun!
Dear Valhalla Nordic ski club
We are touring the west kootenays and are hopping from xc ski trail to xc ski trail. We luckily found your trails near summit lake today. We really lucked out as one of your volunteers had just finished grooming. We skied every inch of your trails and loved it. I was a ski coach with my kids in the 2000s in Kamloops at stake lake trails. Your hilly black trails are the best “terrain park” I have ever seen for xc skiers. You did an amazing job laying out those trails and then clearing them. We had so much fun……. and we are in our early 50s. Your kids are lucky to have such dedicated parents and volunteers to make this happen. Your trail building skills are fantastic. The Ginsu also works great on the trails.
Happy skiing,
Klaus and Rachel
We have enjoyed the trails so much this year. Thanks for the great maps and we love the new signs. The whole project is so well done. Many thanks!
