Trail Plan
Our Trail Plan will be updated this winter 2024-2025. The previous trail plan was written in 2022 and looked forward to 2023-2026. See below for information that plan.
At the October 2024 AGM, we updated over 20 members about:
- major trail improvements made possible by support from the Destination Development Fund, Wetzin'kwa Community Forest, sponsors and club funds.
- proposed new trails and other projects
- a Training and Competition Trails Plan

We are asking for feedback so that we can prepare a new trail plan in December 2024. If approved by the Board of Directors, the new plan will guide trail improvements and planning of any new trails.
Please e-mail trails@bvnordic.ca to provide your feedback. Should the club make the proposed trails a priority? What should be the highest priority?
Are you able to help? We really need some volunteers to step up and help spearhead new trail projects.
Do you want to join a mailing list to engage further on trail planning topics?
Contact Roger McMillan about the training and competition trails master plan or Kevin Kriese for other parts of the trail plan.

PREVIOUS TRAIL PLAN
Download the Trail Plan for 2023-2026. This plan incorporates the results of a membership survey conducted in the spring of 2021 as well as input from members and the board of directors. Trail planning will continue to evolve as we receive feedback from skiers, First Nations, Recreation Sites and Trails and as we learn more from our planning and fundraising efforts.
Implementation of work identified in the trail plan is conditional upon volunteer leadership, government approvals, and funding.
The BV Cross Country Ski Club completed a trail plan in 2017 which launched a five year “Trails for Tomorrow” program. That program focussed on addressing risk from beetle-killed trees, improving drainage and grading, addressing climate change by creating an early season trail network, expanding the trail network, improving signage, and reducing the effort required to maintain and groom trails. From 2017 to 2021, the club undertook approximately $255,000 of work with major funding from:
- Recreation Sites and Trails BC;
- Wetzin’kwa Community Forest;
- BC Rural Dividend Fund; and
- BV Cross Country Ski Club
