3 great places to ski in Saskatoon (and area)

Our Three Favorite Cross-Country Ski Spots in and Around Saskatoon

 

Winter in Saskatoon is perfect for cross-country skiing, and these three spots are our go-to favorites for different reasons:

 

1. Gordie Howe Golf Course

 

In winter, this golf course transforms into a skier’s paradise with groomed trails that are great for all levels. The open areas and tree-lined sections offer a nice balance of relaxation and challenge.

 

Why we love it: It’s close to the city, easy to access, and well-maintained—perfect for a quick afternoon ski.

 

2. Kinsmen Park

 

Located right in the heart of Saskatoon, Kinsmen Park is ideal for a convenient, quick ski. The shorter trails loop around, offering scenic views of the river without needing to leave the city.

 

Why we love it: It’s perfect for a quick ski session after work or with the family, offering easy access and beautiful scenery.

 

3. River Ridge Trails

 

A bit outside the city, River Ridge offers a more adventurous ski with rolling hills and gorgeous views. The varied terrain makes it great for skiers looking for a challenge.

 

Why we love it: The combination of rugged terrain and peaceful surroundings is unmatched, making it ideal for a longer, more scenic outing.

 

These spots each offer something unique, whether you’re looking for a quick ski or a full winter adventure!
