Phoenix Cross Country Ski Society

Established in the 1970’s by a group of Nordic Ski enthusiasts, Phoenix Cross Country Ski Society manages the Marshall Lake XC Trail System in co-operation with Rec. Sites and Trails BC near the site of the historic town of Phoenix, BC. The Marshall Lake XC Trails are located between Grand Forks and Greenwood and provide 15 km of groomed trails for all skill levels. We encourage skiers to become members to support the activities of our society. More recently we have been encouraging Snowshoers to use our trail system and ask that they also buy memberships. Memberships help pay for the grooming that you enjoy when you use the trails.

Area History

The city of Phoenix was once a very large establishment based around a large copper mine. The original downhill ski area is located on the slope behind Marshall Lake [Telemark Hill] until the 1960’s when the T-Bar was moved to the north facing slope we enjoy today. In the year 2000 a group of dedicated cross country enthusiasts build the Dacha for the enjoyment of skiers. Press the button for more…
