You are cordially invited to our fabulous and popular Tour de Soup!
On Saturday, January 24th, 2026 from noon to 2 p.m., come join us for a gourmet ski experience!
Visit any of our warming cabins at Apex, Euphrates (Busk) and Clearwater and sample a delicious cup of soup at each. Soup is offered BY DONATION, with proceeds going to Kidsportand to support our youth programs and Ski Team.
Please bring your own cup or mug for soup! (Suggested min. donation: $5 per cup.)
At 7am on the shortest day of the year, it is -1c at our club with 15cm of fresh snow. We should see a mix of sun and cloud today with a high of 0c. Grooming is complete on the Apex side, with Cottonwood/Rail Grade, Night loop and Apex loop refreshed. Clearwater is just getting underway, and should include the loops. Busk/Euphrates will follow. I am not certain if East Busk will get a pass this morning.
Ginzu grooming is in progress on Busk-Euphrates! we know that you will appreciate the update and refresh to those “oreo” patches on the trails! Happy skiing it is a beautiful day enjoy the trails:)
SKI FOR FREE IF YOU HAPPEN TO SHOW UP ON SITE TODAY:
The Moonlit ski has been postposed due to inclement weather. See you on January 31, 2026 Instead! We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Join us for a beautiful ski by moonlight (and Tiki torches!) to the Euphrates Cabin. We’ll have an outdoor bonfire, hot apple cider and plenty of good vibes! The cabin will be open.
Please be sure to bring your own mug for cider, as well as a headlamp. The route will be partially illuminated with Tiki torches back from the cabin along the Rail Trail.

A fundraiser for our Nelson Nordic Youth Programs!
Nelson Nordic Ski Club kiosks and select trails will open on Friday, December 12, 2025!
We are thrilled to welcome back our members, staff and volunteers for another fun and eventful ski season:)
We have early season conditions on our trails therefore some trails are likely to remain closed. For an up to date lowdown…or should I say snow down on trails visit our: Nordic Pulse Live Feed 🙂
We encourage members to avoid the line-ups to register for a membership at the kiosk and sign up online. This will help save you, and others, time at the kiosks.
Membership CardPickup
If you have waited until your first ski to pick up your membership card or annual sticker, please note:

If you’re a new member, please come to the APEX Kiosk when you arrive for your first ski of the season. Our Apex parking lot is located at the base of Whitewater Road, 10 minutes south of Nelson. The kiosk attendant will take your picture out the window of the kiosk and then print you a card, which you will retain for this year and future seasons.
