CROSS COUNTRY SKIING

Situated on the slopes of Mount Tecumseh are 30 km of trails for all levels of skiers.
The Allison-Chinook ski trails were developed in the late 1970's by the Crowsnest Pass Lions Club and the Alberta Forest Service, using portions of an existing network of logging roads and seismic lines. Trails extend through Deadman's Pass into B.C. making it one of the best country ski areas in Canada. There are also endless trails that weave throughout the Pass that are just waiting to be explored.
