Dawn Mountain Snowshoe Trails
December 14, 2025
The snowshoe trails are open for the season! Our amazing club volunteers have worked hard packing the powder so we have a beautiful path to follow. Enjoy the tranquil time in the forests and wetlands.
Here is a link to our trails fees or snowshoe trail map.
Below are a few notes about using the snowshoe network at Dawn Mountain.
Before heading onto the trails, please sign-in and pay your trail fee (included in Golden Nordic Ski Club membership).
Please keep your snowshoes on at all times: to the trailhead, on the snowshoe trail, and when crossing ski trails as walking on the trails creates holes and damages the trail.
When crossing ski trails, please walk beside the ski trails and step over any ski tracks (grooves in the snow) to keep them intact for the cross-country skiers.
Use the trails at your own risk.
We do not allow dogs on any of the Dawn Mountain trails, including the snowshoe trails.
Golden Golf Course Trails
The Golden Golf Course ski trails are now OPEN
Trackset January 4, 2026
Good conditiions
Below are a few notes about using the ski trails at the Golden Golf course.
Before heading onto the trail, please pay the $2 cash per person trail fee (free for those with Golden Nordic Ski Club membership). Donation box is at the trailhead.
The golf course is set for classic skiing only.
Please no dogs or walking on or along the trails.
All skiers are required to stay on the trails and not venture off-trail; this is an expectation with the Golden Golf course that needs to be adhered to in order to continue the use of the trail there. There is a large trailhead sign outlining this.
There is no outhouse/washroom facility at the trailhead. The nearest washroom is at the intersection of Kicking Horse Trail and the Golf Course Road at the CBT trailhead.
