Village of Telkwa - Things to do

If you are looking for well groomed cross-country ski trails in a spectacular setting – you will love the Bulkley Valley. The Bulkley Valley hosted the 1998 Junior Nationals Cross Country Ski Competition and offers a variety of trail lengths and terrain to suit every level of ability. Experience the thrill of gliding through a spruce forest dotted with snowshoe hare, mink, and moose tracks.

Bulkley Valley Nordic Center
Home of the 1998 Junior National Competition, the Nordic Center on Hudson Bay Mountain offers a day lodge, waxing huts, lighted night skiing and over 35 kilometers of well groomed cross country ski trails. The trail loops vary in distances of 1.5 km. to 27.5 km. in length and provide flat and hilly terrain. Before heading out choose your distance and terrain preference by checking out the map posted at the site. Passes are required. For ski rentals check out the local ski shops downtown before heading up the mountain.

Other Cross Country Trails
Cross country ski enthusiasts flourish in the Bulkley Valley and leave their mark at the Smithers Golf and Country Club and many nearby lakes such as Tyhee, Kathlyn and Seymour. There is no charge to ski in these areas and tracks are usually well set. Tyhee Lake Provincial Park has two covered shelters fully stocked with tables, and wood for the wood stoves. After an exhilarating ski, gather round the fire to roast a hot dog and sip some hot chocolate. Each year, during Telkwa Cabin Fever Days, a candle-light cross country ski is offered at Tyhee Lake Provincial Park free of charge.

For more information on cross country ski adventures, see "adventure tours" in our Businesses section.
