You can always hear the crunch of the snow more clearly without the whir of the lifts getting in the way. And thanks to the 20km of cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails at King Pine, you can hear a whole lot of that satisfying sound. With access to Purity Spring XC & Snowshoe Reserve, you’ll find trails that wind through the forests around Purity Lake, traverse the grounds of Purity Spring Resort and twist through tall pines in the adjacent Hoyt/Audubon Wildlife Sanctuary. Our grooming is minimal, there is no skate or classic track grooming, and our trails are open from sunrise to sunset and our terrain ranges from intermediate to advanced. Snowshoe equipment and cross-country ski rentals when conditions permit are available at the King Pine Rental Shop. And Nordic trail passes and tickets can be obtained online or from the King Pine base lodge.
We do not allow dogs on our Nordic trails on weekends or during holiday periods. However, well-behaved dogs can join their owners for adventures midweek during non-holiday periods. We simply ask that owners have a leash ready when passing others and are considerate of other trail users’ experiences.
In our opinion, no winter getaway feels quite complete without a few laps around an ice-skating rink. Fortunately, the Tohko Dome Ice Skating Rink is conveniently located just across the street from the King Pine Base Lodge. And it’s open on weekends and holiday periods whenever weather conditions permit. It’s family-friendly and welcomes skaters of all ability levels. And it’s outfitted with a warming station to help keep you nice and toasty between laps.
Use of the Tohko Dome Ice Skating Rink is included in all lift tickets and season passes as well as our Skate & Trails ticket. Limited skate rentals are available from the King Pine Rental Shop, or bring your own. A full list of rules is posted outside the rink, but please be aware that the use of hockey sticks and pucks is strictly prohibited.
Please note: All winter activities are weather-dependent and subject to change without notice.
