Dog-friendly ski trails
At all times, dogs are supposed to be leashed. The exceptions are West Bragg Creek and Nipika. If I’ve missed any, leave a comment or send me an email.
- West Bragg Creek – dogs are allowed to run off-leash on the trails, but must be leashed in the parking lot.
- Mount Shark
- Ribbon Creek
- Healy Creek
- Lake Louise – Pipestone trails, Bow River and Campground loop, Lake Louise Shoreline
- Yoho – Yoho Valley road, Lake O’Hara fire road(this trail is not trackset but is usually well-packed)
- Nipika Mountain resort is totally dog-friendly
- Ungroomed trails in Kootenay National Park: East Kootenay, West Kootenay, Simpson River

Another fantastic place to cross-country ski where dogs can be off-leash is Kelowna Nordic – there is significant mileage available & the grooming is done often and is awesome
Wish I lived closer to it! Good place to go holiday

I checked the Kelowna Nordic web site. It looks like 15km of the total of 75km is available for dogs.
They say on the canine trails page that they have 16km, but that is one-way, so if you skied all & returned to start you’d have 32km.
