Site Description: Black Jack is considered one of the premier cross-country ski facilities in western Canada due to the excellent grooming, variety of trails, abundant reliable snowfall, and convenience of our proximity to Rossland. Blackjack offers Approx 40km of expertly groomed trails for both classic skiing and skate skiing, 2.5km lit night. Cross-Country Skiing Blackhawk Ski Club is home to over 2 kilometers of dedicated nordic ski trail (skate and classic) made with artificial snow base. Portions of the trail are adjacent to alpine slopes which makes for fantastic training ground. If cross-country skiing makes you think of kicking lazy laps across your local golf course, it's time to change your image of the sport. With thicker skis and beefier bindings, today's backcountry nordic gear is capable of handling steeper trails and rougher snow than its inbounds counterparts. Black Jack Ski Team From first strides on snow to international competition, the Black Jack Cross Country Ski Club runs one of the country’s top cross country ski development programs.
