The Toby Creek Nordic Ski Club is proud to promote and maintain the Lake Windermere Whiteway. The Whiteway is a 34km groomed track that runs all the way around the lake and connects the towns of Invermere and Windermere.
The Whiteway has tracks for classic cross-country skiers, a groomed skate skiing track, and a cleared ice-skating track.
There are three official entry points onto the Whiteway; one at Kinsmen beach in Invermere, one at the Invermere Bay Condos in Invermere, and one at Windermere beach.
Each entry point has a large timber frame sign which provides user information, maps, information about the local Nordic skiing club, and a donation box.
Discover a cross-country skiing destination like no other. The Columbia Valley is home to three diverse nordic skiing experiences, offering over 100 km of classic and skate skiing trail systems for you to explore.
