10 Ways to Play - Step & Slide

With the flurries start to fly it's time to head out on the trails - only this time you'll have to strap on some snowshoes or skis!

Squamish has long been a popular hiking destination in the summer it's no surprise that we draw almost as many people to the trails all winter long. 

First you'll likely want to head north to the Olympic Park, which features over 30 kilometers of marked snowshoe trails and almost 90 kilometres of nordic ski trails- each ranging in difficulty for all abilities, ages- there are even dog-friendly options!

Snowshoeing and Nordic Skiing are activities that is suitable for the whole family, from children to grandparents. Snowshoe tours with knowledgeable guides are available, as are snowshoe and ski rentals as well as chariot child carriers so even the little ones can come along.

If you know more the the lay of the land in Squamish, you can always bring your own gear or rent snowshoes from Escape Route or Valhalla Pure Outfitters. We encourage you to be informed before go, before you take this route. Safety first!
