The Whiteshell Cross Country Ski Club maintains 40K of classic ski trails in Canadian Shield forest and on the Pinawa Golf Course. 12K of those trails also have a skate ski track beside the classic track. 1.2K of the trails is lit.
The Pinawa Club is open year round as a licensed restaurant and lounge. Skiers are welcome to use this facility. Food or beverages, not purchased in the Pinawa Club, are not permitted in the building (please save your bag lunches and thermoses for the trail). The Pinawa Club is home for many member and non-member activities – curling, bingo & club lunches to name a few. If your group is large please contact the Manager (204) 753-2294 prior to arrival to ensure that the facility can accommodate your party. It is important to the CCSAM and the Whiteshell Ski Club that all skiers respect Pinawa Club staff & members and comply with the rules and regulations. Maintaining our good relations will ensure the building remains available to us for special events such as the annual Manitoba Loppet.
The Whiteshell Ski Club maintains warming huts located on the Red, Orange, and English River Trails. Skiers may use them at their own discretion. The Club charges no fees, takes no bookings, and assumes no responsibility for the safety and well-being of the users. Users should be self-sufficient and be prepared to handle any eventuality (for example, lack of firewood, injuries, accidents, poor signal strength for cell phones, and the possibility of sharing the premises with others.) Donations help our non-profit, volunteer group to cover the cost of maintaining the trail network and the warming huts. For assistance in an emergency, call 911.

Pinawa 9 months, 2 weeks agoWe skied the outbound Orange, JGG Freeway and English River return yesterday. Orange had not been recently groomed so was a bit of a slog. At about the 3km mark we came across open water at the bottom of the 90 degree downhill (you will know what I mean if you’ve skied it). As it was very cold the slush immediately iced up on our skis. The…[Read more]

Pinawa 10 months, 1 week agoWe had a wonderful classic ski on the blue, green and part of the red trails early Saturday afternoon. While there was a light new snowfall on all of green (English River); blue and red were well skied in with great glide. The soft conditions made for safer downhills, and it wasn’t busy until later. The trees were beautifully coated in white and…[Read more]

Pinawa 11 months, 1 week agoThere is a Classic track set on the Red 7km trail. 2km and 5km loops not set. Warning: Many exposed rocks along the way which could wreck those brand new skis, so ski with caution or use rock skis. There is also a classic and a skate track set on the golf course which is likely a safer bet for good skis.
