Canada's a big place, but generally speaking (I'm in the US) to be skiing by Thanksgiving (November 26th) depends on what kind of season we get. If it's early then yes, if normal maybe, if a light/late snow year probably not. If you narrow it down to a province or two maybe someone from there will reply. The place I've skied the most in Canada does have cross country skiing: http://www.whistler.com/cross_country/ Of course, you still need snow. Also, this group is pretty dead these days, a lot of people have moved over to http://www.telemarktips.com, you might try asking there. hth; DCraig. |

Cross Country Skiing in october/november
I live in the Okanagan Valley British Columbia and the local resort Silver
Star, generally makes mid to end November their target opening day. Sovereign Lakes is the dedicated x-country ski facility there and with an early start to winter, it will be very good. Silver Star Resort also has Nordic trails and several years ago they merged that part or the operation with Sovereign Lakes, providing one of the largest Nordic facilities in Canada. It is known for reliable early season conditions, but didn't happen 'til mid December last year. A number of national Nordic teams make Sovereign Lake their early season training facility. Sun Peaks resort is a little farther north outside of Kamloops and they have snow making so they may open earlier, but off the top of my head, I don't know if the snow making applies to the Nordic trails. Kamloops is about a 1 hour drive from Silver Star/Sovereign Lake, so that would minimize the risk provided they make snow on their x-country trails. http://www.sovereignlake.com/ http://www.skisilverstar.com/ http://www.sunpeaksresort.com/winter/nordic.aspx -- Mike wrote in message ...

I would check out Whistler/Blackcomb. With the Olympics there in February,
2010, they will likely make snow and have stuff happening. Probably expensive lodging then as Olympics preparations make scarce housing worse? "vibrationsbog1" wrote in message ...
