China Ridge Trail
The China Ridge Trails are a series of popular cross-country ski trails located just outside of Princeton, BC. In summer, the trails are also used for mountain biking and hiking.The trails are managed through a partnership with the China Ridge Trails, formerly the China Ridge Cross-country Ski Association (CRCCSA).The area features 40 km of trails (20 km groomed; 20 km untracked for the backcountry ski enthusiast). Portions of the trails follow old roads or skid trails through open timber, across natural grassy slopes, and through a variety of forested terrain. Skiers usually experience clear sunny days, dry snow conditions, and outstanding vistas to the valley below. There are three shelters on the trails where one may enjoy an outdoor fire, and there is an emergency warming hut about ten kilometres from the trailhead. While the terrain is undulating, most of the trails would be considered beginner to intermediate.
