Fabulous spring cross country skiing
Apr 2017 • Couples
We had a marvelous time- first weekend in April and still lots of great snow. The 15K universal loop is gentle enough for a timid skier and interesting enough for more capable people- so you can all go together! It was silent and beautiful- and the dogs on the trail were- for the most part- well behaved ( I do wish everyone would keep their dogs out of the tracks though..). This is gorgeous country and all kinds of interesting trails to try out. Just about a fifteen ,minute drive from Whistler-- its where they have the sled dogs ( in season) as well...

Plenty to do and see
Jan 2015 • Couples
Great to see all the families being active and enjoying nature ! Was a birthday party at the sliding park, large group learning to cross country lower parking lot, plenty of trails for skiers and snow shoeing. Being a busy Saturday suggest avoid Lodge at noon as good size lineups for food and tables.

Excellent biathalon adventure
Jan 2015 • Couples
This was the surprise of the year for us. We decided to explore Callaghan ski/snowshoe/ski jump area and were absolutely delighted. We came for the downhill but we are avid x-country/snowshoers and we have a dog. The man at the gate was engaging and informative. The visitors centre was bright and airy with a nice cafe, small gift shop and rentals. We had left our gear and rentals were reasonable--e.g. tickets $25-30 and rentals about the same--but then she recommended the biathalon shooting experience for $20 each. We had a blast. Tho I am rather against guns, our instructor, Clay was clearly an expert and made it fun and challenging. Target shooting on the Olympic range was exciting, interesting and we could only imagine what it would be like with heart rates fresh from x-country racing. For the price, the whole experience was awesome, but then she also recommended just walking one "dog-friendly" loop. It was gorgeous, about 2 km, and the dogs were clearly having a blast. As a wonderful new experience, option for the future and a break from downhill on an average day, this was an excellent adventure! We will be back!

Amazing views!
Mar 2016 • Friends
I went snowshoeing and did two trails that make one big loop: "real life" and "fingerlakes". Trail conditions weren't optimal because the snow was very slushy and slippery. We couldn't find the start of the fingerlakes trail so we opted for doing the real life first. This is a super easy trail, looks more like a wide road. It's easy except the first kilometer is all uphill. It doesn't have much of a view but still very enjoyable.
Fingerlakes is beautiful and a real trail between old growth cedars and a few gorgeous lakes. The only problem was that because we are late in the season much of the snow had degraded and was very slippery. We came across a bridge ( really just a log about of the size of one snowshoe accros), unfortunately it was very slippery leading to the log and I fell into the water. Thankfully I had a change of clothes as I still had two more hours of trail to do.

Once I advised the staff of the state of the trail they decided to close it immediately. They were very nice but one of the staff mentioned that another coworker had already mentioned that particular beige to be bad, which made me question why they had not closed it before. That being said it's a beautiful place to go snowshoeing and skyinng and I'll definitely return.

First time skiing
Dec 2013 • Couples
Visited this place after our skiing lessons in Lost Lake got cancelled and absolutely enjoyed it. It was our first time skiing so we decided to take the mini-lessons first. Tara, our instructor, was really friendly and we had such a blast learning all the basics from her. We enjoyed our first cross country skiing so much that we decided to come back the next day. This place has a lot of really nice, well-groomed trails so make sure you spend at least a day here. Next time we come back we will probably do some downhill skiing lessons.

Great Skate Ski Lesson with Bill
Dec 2017 • Couples
What a great first experience XC skate skiing! Our instructor Bill took the time to ground us in the fundimantals in the short period of time we had together. He was professional, positive and productive with us. We didn't rock our first lap without him but we are well on our way. Our only advice to the facility is to provide a cash machine or another way to tip the instructors since we don't carry cash. Bill helped make our day in the Callaghan.

The BEST
Mar 2017 • Family
I would say it is a once in a lifetime experience. Our kids had a 3 day ski camp, which was awesome. They put them in the perfect level and the slopes were challenging and fun at the same time. The view from the mountain was incredible. I would certainly recommend for any skiers of any level.
