Bulkley Valley Cross Country Ski Club

Bulkley Valley Cross Country Ski Club Keep up-to-date with news and program updates! (Directions ) Another 20 minutes drive past the Nordic Centre is Ski & Ride Smithers, the alpine ski centre.

Perched in a spruce forest immediately above the picturesque alpine town of Smithers in northwestern BC, the BV Nordic Centre is an easy 10 minute drive from town, at 9km on the Hudson Bay Mountain Road. The Nordic Centre is renowned for excellent snow conditions and a lengthy ski season, due to a) elevation and b) location in a snowbelt area between BC’s cold interior and damp coastal climates. T

he Bulkley Valley Nordic Centre features a 52 km network of trails through sheltered spruce and pine forest. 5.5 kms of lit trails provides excellent opportunity for skiing after work or school. Trail lights are on until 9:30pm every night. 11 km of the trails are dog friendly. Every trail is groomed for both classic and skate skiing and maintained regularly with state-of-the art grooming equipment. The trails are well-marked and range from fairly flat with a few gentle slopes, to challenging routes with steep climbs and hairpin turns. Facilities include the beautiful Buchfink Memorial Lodge complete with a kitchen, indoor washrooms, ski lockers, change rooms, and a roomy seating area upstairs with great views of the stadium and nearby trails. The Gary Murdoch Memorial wax hut provides a warm and functional space for waxing.

Skiing is still wonderful but we do have one trail closure to tell you about: Wetzin'kwa Trail, because a breeding Goshawk pair have been observed there! The Goshawk is a species at risk and right now they are entering their breeding season, and disturbances create risk to their breeding success. Therefore, to reduce stress to these amazing animals, we are closing the Wetzin’kwa trail from the junction at Broadway to the Demo Forest. We ask that skiers ski somewhere else for the remainder of the season. Check the map on Nordic Pulse (available through the window at the lodge) to be clear. Thank you! And let's wish them good luck during their romantic getaway at BV Nordic.

The BV Nordic Centre will close April 19th, but there is still great spring skiing to be had prior April 19th. At that time the main gate, lodge, waxhut and all other facilities will be closed for the season at 6 PM. All trails will show closed on Nordic Pulse. All ski lockers must be emptied on or before April 19th by 6 PM. Grooming will be sporadic up until then and only if temps are in favour of doing so.
We would like to thank every one skier that has visited the BV Nordic Centre this past season. Without your continued support we would not be able to keep the trails in the high quality we strive for. Thank You and see you November 2026 again.
