Great day skiing yesterday at Blueberry Lake! The conditions and weather were so lovely! We appreciated the more natural trails/snow here and the mellow atmosphere compared to more wide groomed "corduroy" trails and a ski center experience. As other reviewers have mentioned the trails are a bit narrower than today's ski centers but they were fine for all in our party.
In 2.5 hours or so we skied most of the more steep side/expert trails. We started skiing out Trail 5 and then to Trail 10, and then we climbed and looped around 11 clockwise (so we climbed the steep section and skied down the more gradual slope). Then we went on to ski all of the 6, 7 and 8 loops and back to the center. This was around 6.5 miles of skiing. In the afternoon after lunch we returned and skied both loops of Trail 4, then Trail 3 and 2. This was intermediate/easy and around 3.5 miles.
So glad that these trails are available to us...

The trails were well marked and groomed. It was a bit icy which made it challenging (especially with no experience and an excitable dog!). A beautiful area.
Lots of folks on a Sunday with dogs on and off lead - all friendly and well behaved mostly (some came up to our dog but sniffed and moved on quickly), and didn’t see much un-cleaned up dog residue. It was great for us, but if you don’t like dogs or have a reactive dog, might not be the best choice.
Overall a great experience and would...
   Read moreMy girlfriend and I were staying in the area and looking for things to do. Came across this place and decided to check it out. Neither of us knew how to cross country ski. But, the friendly staff gave us some pointers and told us if we were not enjoying it, we could trade in our rental skis for snowshoes. As poorly as we did. We had a blast. If you're new to the sport. This is a great...
