THE BEAR MOUNTAIN NORDIC SKI ASSOCIATION

We love snow. (See 'Why?' Here...)

The Bear Mountain Nordic Ski Association [BMNSA] is a non-profit recreational association created to provide access, facilities and opportunities for all ages to learn and experience the sport of cross country skiing in the South Peace Region in the Peace River Regional District Area. We are volunteer based with no paid staff.

The trails are also available for other all-season use; we encourage snow-shoeing, hiking, cross-country running, wildlife-viewing, mountain biking, horseback riding, orienteering, outdoor environmental studies and similar non-motorized   recreational activities. ...(more)...

BMNSA would like to say thank you to the Lake View Credit Union
for awarding our club with a $7000 grant to be used towards upgrades to our solar system which will allow for us to light up our new Terrain Park and our stadium.
Our facilities director, Pat O'Reilly, attended last weeks presentation of the grants. (November 18, 2019)

Ski Conditions

28 November 2020
In addition to last weeks grooming, we have packed track with the sled and roller
West Wolf beyond Wolf shelter and down Wolf hill to the Hauber Hut.
Bissette is tracked to the cabin and up Log Cabin trail to Lynx
Marten, Mink, Bear, Marmot, Bear, Wolverine and Fox have a packed track.
Lynx is not good and Grizzly between the shelter and the top of Weasel is not good.
Weasel is not useable right now.
South Loop closed.

6 June 2021 Update
Sorry but we are a little bit short of snow right now. So try slipping on your hiking/jogging boots!
The rest of the world is complaining of overcrowded wilderness due to COVID avoidance,
while we have unspoiled wild trails right here. If you do want to see people, be sure to bring a friend.
