Dawn Mountain Snowshoe Trails
March 28th, 2024
Spring conditions bring variable conditions. If the sky is clear overnight and the temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius, you can expect trails to be icy in the mornings and then trails softening between 10am and 12 noon. Best to avoid snowshoeing by around 2pm to avoid punching in deep with the isothermic snow conditions!
We do not allow dogs on any of the Dawn Mountain trails, including the snowshoe trails.
Please keep your snowshoes on at all times to the trailhead and on the snowshoe trail and when crossing ski trails as walking on the trails creates holes in the trail.
When crossing ski trails, please walk on the side of the ski trails and step over any ski tracks (grooves in the snow) to keep them intact for the cross-country skiers. Thanks!
Don’t forget to pay your trail fee (included in Golden Nordic Ski Club membership) to support the maintenance of the snowshoe trails.
Golden Golf Course Trails - CLOSED FOR THE SEASON
March 21, 2024 Trails closed on the evening of Sunday March 17
End of season was March 17 at 6:00 PM. The golf course plowed all trails beginning on Monday March 18, in preparation for the summer season.
Thanks for your donations this season! They help us pay for the fuel of grooming at the golf course.

*** The golf course is set for classic skiing only.
*** Please no dogs or walking on the trails.
*** At this time there is no outhouse/washroom facility at the trailhead. The nearest washroom is at the intersection of Kicking Horse Trail and the Golf Course Road at the CBT trailhead.
Please bring some cash (free for members of the Golden Nordic Ski Club) to deposit into the donation box (suggested $2) at the trailhead to help with the snowmobile fuel cost.
Grooming at the Golden golf course is done by volunteers of the Golden Nordic Ski Club.
Thank you for your support!
