SEASONAL XC PROGRAMS, CLINICS, & TOURS

Experience the magic of winter at Raven Lodge.

Mount Washington is rated as one of North America’s top Nordic Centres. Perched on the edge of spectacular Strathcona Provincial Park, the Nordic Centre features Raven Lodge, a quintessential timber-framed ski lodge with full dining, retail, and rental options. XC skiers are treated to unparalleled views along 55 km of machine-groomed and classic set XC trails

Explore the wilds of Strathcona Park as you meander through the snow-covered trees surrounded by rugged ice-capped mountains. The quiet serenity of the old- growth forests will do more for your well-being than a day at the spa. Snowshoeing at Mount Washington will transport you to a magical wonderland featuring 22 km of meandering trails with stunning views. Trail passes, rentals, and maps are available at Raven Lodge
