SNOWSHOE NICKELPLATE NORDIC

Despite the grim conditions around these days for alpine skiing etc. I know that NICKELPLATE gets more snow than other areas because of its altitude. It will be fine and I have a really fun trail to take you on to a lovely little cabin where we will stop for 10 mins before heading back

It certainly looks like snowshoeing season has arrived and I know that Nickleplate Nordic has as much if not a lot more snow than other areas closer to Kelowna. Yes it is further away than say Big White or Sovereign but not much more than 15 minutes.

Day ticket costs $12. We will take the Claim Jump trail which at most is easy/moderate, a nice one for the first snowshoe of the season, mine at least. Most always you can do this doggie trail, as it is referred to without paying.

Directions take 97 to Penticton and once you are on the channel parkway watch on your right for Green Mountain Rd. And turn right. Continue on that for at least 20 minutes until you connect with Apex Rd. Continue on this passing the Apex Ski Resort and in 5-10 minutes you will come to Nickleplate. On the left is main parking but I will park on the right as that is where the trail starts. Time from Kelowna 90 minutes.

Following the event we will return to Apex resort for lunch before heading home. Dress for the weather as it is much colder there than here in K town.
