Snowshoeing Onion Lake
Snowshoeing at the Snow Valley Nordic Ski Club 2022/2023 Winter Season!
We offer about 5 km of wilderness snowshoe trail. Sorry, no dogs allowed! The loop is a total of 5+ km, with many cross over trails to access shorter versions for your adventure (Map below). New to the 2022/23 season is a day shelter with a wood stove at the Onion Lake viewpoint. Both skiers and snowshoers can access this shelter for rest, warmth, and a social gathering.
​
Snowshoe passes are available in the ticket booth at the front gate entrance. Snowshoe tickets are $5 per person.
​
Snowshoe rentals are available on weekends when the rental shed is open: Saturdays 10-4, Sundays 11-4.
