Whistler, BC: Good and bad news for cross-country skiers: From Monday, March 16 onwards, Ski Callaghan will reduce its operation from seven to five days a week. Furthermore, Whistler Olympic Park and its trail system will be closed starting Monday. However, cross-country skiing will still be possible on the upper Callaghan trails of the joint venture between Whistler Olympic Park (WOP), and Callaghan Country Wilderness Adventures (CCWA)! Callaghan Country’s Journeyman Lodge will remain open until April 6th.
Five days per week (open Fridays to Tuesdays, closed on Wednesdays & Thursdays), skiers can access all upper Ski Callaghan trails surrounding the Journeyman Lodge through the Callaghan Country gate and via the Mainline trail. A shuttle up Mainline will be provided on weekends to transport skiers from the Callaghan Country Base to the snowline. The upper trails are still in great winter condition due to their high elevation, and Ski Callaghan hopes to keep this area available to public until Easter Monday, April 6.
