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:
New members(or if you don’t have your old card)
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.
Returning members
If you already have a membership card from previous seasons, you may visit either kiosk (Busk/Clearwater or Apex) to get a 2025-26 sticker for your card (you must have your card with you). If you no longer have your membership card, please come to the Apex Kiosk.

We know you are waiting with waxed skis and hope to glide into the weekend sooo… while we are NOT officially open we have been able to groom Cottonwood trail for 5 kms: entrance at Cottonwood Lake for your ski enjoyment!
At Nelson Nordic your safety and ski/snowshoe experiences are our main concern, please respect our closure of all other trails and facility areas. We have more snow in the forecast and will be expanding our opening as soon as possible! Please review the following:
