About This Trail

Golden Bow is a 1.82-km cross-country ski trail within the Morice Mountain Nordic Ski Club Trail Network. The trail forms part of the interconnected routes around the Go Big or Go Home Junction, offering skiers an opportunity to explore the forested terrain of Morice Mountain. It can be combined with nearby trails such as Sawdust Loop and Trespass to create a longer skiing route through the network. Golden Bow is not included in the club's regular grooming groups, so conditions may vary.
