We also offer a full line of rental equipment for cross country skiing-skate and classic and snowshoes. We also have onsite professional instruction with certified CANSI instructors (pre-booking is required).
The Nickel Plate Nordic Centre, with its existing trail system and cabin, was developed and built in 1989 by the Nickel Plate Cross Country Ski Club, a volunteer non-profit society, assisted by of a large number of companies, individual donors and volunteers, and government agencies. All monies received through membership and donations help pay for operating, maintaining and upgrading the Nordic Centre. Happy Skiing at Nickel Plate, where everyday is a good day!
