Winter Adventure
Snowmobiling
Mackenzie is a winter wonderland with impressive snow conditions for a variety of outdoor activities for everyone to enjoy. There is a dive
rse trail system available for snowmobilers that includes close to 100 kilometers of groomed trails that allow you to cruise through alpine meadows, conquer local hills and frolic in virgin bowls. For out of town guests, there is a fenced, monitored compound next to the Recreation Centre, where you can store your snowmobile when not in use. In the morning head out directly from the compound on the groomed trail that will take you to Morfee Mountain. You will also find plenty of snow and excitement on the trails located in the Pine Pass. Visit
Canadian Avalanche Centre for updated information on avalanche bulletins/warnings and safety information.
Cross Country Skiing
Enjoy 30 km of groomed cross country ski trails that start out at the Mackenzie Golf & Country Club with an additional 10 km of trails in John Dahl Regional Park. Enhance the evening with a dreamy ski excursion along 2.5 km (1.5 miles) of lit trails, or take away the wintery chill with a stopover at one of the three warming cabins.
