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…
