Maintained by the Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW), Nordic skiers can check out excellent groomed and trackset trails through Lost Lake Park and the Chateau Whistler Golf Course.

The Lost Lake cross country ski and snowshoe trails operate on a user fee system and are not open to walkers or dogs during the winter season.  Dog owners are reminded that they are responsible for knowing and abiding by the municipality's dog regulations.
