Cross-country skiing at FKOC.

Trail facts.

Twenty-two named trails cover about 40 kilometers, groomed for both classic and skate technique. Twenty-five of those kilometers are FIS and IBU homologated race trails, the same loops used for biathlon and Nordic competition, and they are open to every skier with a pass. A 3 km paved loop beside the stadium carries roller skiing once the snow is gone. Printable trail maps →

Grooming and trail reports.

Our groomer’s GPS reports to Nordic Pulse throughout the day, so the trail report shows what was actually groomed and when. Check it before you head out, on the trails page or in the Nordic Pulse app. Today’s trail report →

Snowshoeing and fat biking.

Snowshoe trails have their own map and their own network, and leashed dogs are welcome on all of them. Skiers who want to bring a dog can use the marked pet-friendly ski trails: parts of the Volunteer Trail, Mickey’s Way, and Piste Acadienne from the Red Barn trailhead, and the lower Green Bean Trail from the Lonesome Pine trailhead. Dogs are not allowed on the Lodge Trails. Fat-bike routes are marked on the trail map. Dogs on trails →

Learning to ski.

The Jalbert Youth Ski Program teaches children in grades K–6 to cross-country ski at no cost: trail passes, ski rentals and instruction are all covered, thanks to Phyllis Jalbert. Sessions are usually Saturday afternoons twice a month from January to March, and dates are posted each year once the trails are skiable. Classic technique is the best place to start, and most participants use classic skis.

Adults can rent a full ski package at the lodge on weekends and school holidays, noon to 3 PM, and members can rent for the whole season. Jalbert Ski Program →

From first race to post-graduate.

The homologated loops and the 30-point range host biathlon and Nordic races through the winter, and FKOC runs programs from U10 development through a full-time post-graduate training program for skiers and biathletes aged 18 to 23. Training programs → · Race calendar →
