Our knowledgeable and engaging team invites you to come and explore the vast wilderness trail network of the Upper Callaghan and Solitude Valleys.

Callaghan Country

All trails are classified according to their relative difficulty compared to each other within Ski Callaghan. While gradient and direction of travel are big factors, consideration to trail width and average snow conditions are taken into account. Skiers are reminded that this is mountainous terrain and was once an Olympic competition venue. Difficulty ratings may differ from other ski areas.

Double Green Circle - EasiestSuitable for first-time skiers, young families and parents pulling pulks.

Green Circle - EasyExpect gradual hills and long run outs. Basic climbing and descending skills required

Blue Square - IntermediateExpect moderate grades with corners. Competent climbing, descending and cornering skills required.

Black Diamond - AdvancedExpect significant elevation changes and corners. Precise maneuvering on hills with tight and high speed cornering skills required. Physically demanding.

Brown Triangle - Wilderness / Backcountry RouteExpect no grooming whatsoever. Wilderness ski touring skills including travel, navigational, terrain, weather and avalanche assessment knowledge required. No Ski Patrol. Persons are responsible for any cost of rescue service.

Wilderness Skiing Advisory

Ski Callaghan includes vast expanses of hazardous backcountry terrain. If you leave the groomed cross country ski trails, you are entering a backcountry wilderness area which is uncontrolled, unmarked, not inspected, not patrolled and involves many risks, dangers and hazards including avalanche. Be prepared for any and all eventualities including: avalanche danger, terrain hazards, changes in weather and/or snow conditions, nightfall and the possibility of a medical emergency.

Ski Callaghan is extremely large and while ski patrol is an integral part of our service, visitors are advised that trails are not always travelled frequently.

To facilitate prompt emergency care in the event of a mishap, visitors are advised to carry a fully charged cell phone and be aware that there may be areas of poor reception and/or transmission.
