November 12, 2026 - Early-season skiing on Frozen Thunder at the Canmore Nordic Centre opened on October 17. Access to Frozen Thunder is being coordinated by the new CNC Volunteer Society this year. Full details, including information on purchasing a Frozen Thunder bib, are available at the link below.
What’s staying the same?
- A Frozen Thunder bib is still required for access between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., and skiing during this period remains primarily intended for high-performance users.
- Skiers must also hold either a Canmore Nordic Centre Early Season Pass or purchase a Canmore Nordic Centre Day Pass, available at the Day Lodge.
- Events taking place before January 31 are required to pay a Snow Enhancement Fee to help offset rollout and maintenance costs.
- Skiers with a morning bib may continue skiing in the afternoon. However, morning access is restricted to those holding a morning bib.
What’s different this year?
- Anyone accessing Frozen Thunder after 12:00 p.m., including users after 5:00 p.m., must purchase either an Afternoon Event Bib or Day Bib.
- Ski clubs using Frozen Thunder for programming are asked to contribute toward funding the facility. Please contact your club administrator for more information.
Frozen Thunder is open until Nov. 14 and then becomes part of regular trail access at the Canmore Nordic Centre.
