Join Nelson Nordic’s Track Attack and Junior Racers at our popular annual Pumpkin Hunt to raise funds for our youth ski programs!
We will hide 150 pumpkins in our Enchanted Forest. Children 12 years and under are invited to hunt for a pumpkin, with our ski team athletes to guide them into the forest. FUN for the whole family!
Rubber Boots are recommended:)
Admission of $20 includes one pumpkin, one hot chocolates and one hotdog.
In order to spread out participants and make it a fun and safe event, we will have three sessions, one beginning at 10:00 am, second at 10:30 am, and third at 11:00 am. All tickets must be purchased online in advance at nelsonnordicski.square.site
**Please remember to bring your own mug for hot chocolate and your own drinking water. Special thanks to our generous local sponsors; Pink Dog Design, Save-On-Foods, Safeway, Kootenay Coop, Oso Negro Coffee and Kootenay Bakery!

Nelson Nordic Ski Club does some heavy lifting through your help!
Your contributions to our ongoing Nordiq Canada fundraiser help us smooooooth the way to better trails! All donors who contribute to the Nelson Nordic Ski Club through the Nordiq Canada fundraiser link below will receive a tax receipt for their donation.
Check out how your contributions made a difference this summer to help build your Club to be better.
Anderson Bridge (fondly known as the Dipper Bridge) has had a full makeover; ensuring that groomers, skiers and all things aquatic are protected.
Trail re-surfacing is ongoing (smoothing the way to that ultimate glide).
Busk Bridge 1 has a new approach (smoothing the way for our grooming machines:)
Trail Bridge deckings are undergoing repairs.
That is not all though!
We always want to keep you gliding on your skis no matter what Mother Nature has in store, so, our long-term goal is to further expand and upgrade our trail system. These types of large infrastructure projects will require a significant amount of Club and partner funding to implement.
Preliminary reviews of future trail expansions possibilities are underway, but no final project area has been determined at this time.
The Club is reviewing the feasibility of expanding along the Hall Siding corridor, and initial plans and estimates for this expansion are upwards of $270k or higher. Alternative areas that connect to our trails are also being investigated.
We have already begun writing grants to secure funds for future expansion projects.
