Skiing with a Dog
The Bulkley Valley Nordic Centre has 11 km of dog-friendly trails for skiers with or without a dog. The dog trails are accessible from the lower parking lot. Dogs are not allowed on any other trails, in the upper parking lot or in any of our buildings. As with all our trails, skiers must carry a valid season or day pass when on the dog trails.
To ensure that all skiers and dogs enjoy their experience and stay safe on the dog trails:
- Dogs must be on a leash in the parking lot and until after the tunnel
- Dogs have the right of way on the dog trails so ski cautiously and behave courteously toward each other and toward the dogs
- All skiers should anticipate encountering off-leash dogs and remember that dogs can act unpredictably
- Dog owners are responsible for their dog’s behaviour and should act accordingly:
- Pick up after your dog in the parking lot and along the trails
- Do not bring untrained dogs to the trails
- Dogs should be under voice control or on a leash
- Do not bring aggressive dogs to the trails
- If your dog becomes disruptive, leash it and leave immediately
- Don’t bring an unspayed female in heat
- Skiers with dogs must ski in the direction posted; skiers without dogs may ski in either direction
- Maximum of 2 dogs per skier and 4 dogs per group of skiers
Our Dog-friendly Trails are
- Pooch Paradise
- Wild Dog
- Hound Heaven
