Location: Falcon Ridge Ski and Recreation Area

Located on the shore of beautiful Falcon Lake in the Whiteshell Provincial park, Falcon Ridge offers beautiful views of the lake amidst a woodland Boreal Forest setting. Falcon Ridge has over 25 kms of maintained x-country ski trails connecting to the local Trans-Canada trail, and Provincial Park maintained West Hawk ski trail circuit which has endless kilometers of wilderness to explore. There are trails groomed for both classic (track set) and skate skiing.

Driving Directions: Google Map link

Falcon Ridge Ski Hill is located on the south-east end of Falcon Lake in the Whiteshell Provincial Park in Manitoba. To get there, turn off the #1 highway at Falcon Lake, about 7 minutes west of the Manitoba/ Ontario border. Once you’ve turned off the highway, follow the south shore road (past the golf course, the lumber yard and the marina) for about 15 minutes. Falcon Ridge is located right at the end of this road.

Falcon Ridge is about a 90 minute drive east from Winnipeg, and 45 minutes west of Kenora.

Schedule

 CCSAM Competitive Age Categories

Your competitive age category is based on how old you are as of December 31st in the current competitive season. For example, in 2013 – 2014 your age as of December 31, 2013 is your age for the entire 2013 – 2014 competitive season. Our Competition Model makes it possible for young skiers to compete in categories that are a better match for their development age if not their chronological age. For example, a Midget aged skier may race as a Juvenile whenever the athlete, their parents and coach together determine that to be the most appropriate competitive category. Skiers wanting to race in a category other than their competitive age category must notify Ron Pelletier, the competition secretary by e-mail by Jan. 8th at midnight.
