Trail Etiquette
Kaslo Nordic Ski Area Etiquette
If you are snowshoeing or walking please avoid stepping
If you are snowshoeing or walking please avoid stepping
or walking on the set ski tracks.
Up hill skiers should give way to down hill skiers by
stepping out of the tracks. Also please step out of the
tracks for waxing, resting etc.
Please...for skier safety and courtesy…..Dogs on short
leash on the BLUE trail to the warm-up/equipment shed.
Dogs off leash go on the GREEN trail to the east of the shed.
Skiers only on the RED trail to the west/north of
the shed (refer to attached trail map). The combination
of fast moving skiers on hills and dogs can cause collisions
resulting in potential skier and dog injury. If there are
cars in the parking lot when you arrive with your dog,
you should travel east on the Green trail to avoid
potential collisions.
Pick up or flick dog poop off the trail area. No one
likes brown wax on their skis!
Dogs walking on the ski tracks (especially if freshly
groomed and set) break the set tracks apart.
