Circle R Ranch is a 220-acre Touring Centre with 15 km of pampered, groomed, and tracked cross-country skiing trails meandering through picturesque wooded terrain including a 5 km skating trail for "skate" skiing. Membership covers all trail fees for the ski season and includes reduced prices to winter events. Before hitting the tantalizing trails, skiers without their own equipment can suit up with Circle R Ranch's state-of-the-art equipment rentals at the full-service pro shop or overcome their commitment issues and buy some new or used equipment. With poles and hand warmers in fist, graceful gallivanters can enjoy a day on the snow and then warm up in the heated lodge with home-style treats from the snack bar. For snow explorers that are new to the slippery sport, Circle R offers intro lessons (adults $30, children and seniors $22) during which skiers learn the classic style diagonal stride and uphill and downhill techniques, as well as receive equipment and clothing hints.
