The Indy Pass represents independent resorts in 28 states and provinces and offers quality skiing and riding within a few hours of most skiers in North America. Explore our five regions and plan your own adventure discovering new mountains, ski towns and the best runs of your life. SLNC was the first Nordic Centre to join Indy Pass which has now created an Indy XC Pass for the 2024-25  season! Indy Pass offers a network of top cross-country resorts across North America. All Indy Pass holders will receive two trail passes at each resort in addition to their 2 days at downhill resorts. The information on this page is for Indy Pass XC only and does not include privileges at downhill resorts. Indy Pass developed the program in partnership with the Cross Country Ski Areas Association (CCSAA) and will donate 10% of pass sales to the non-profit group.

Effective January 27th, 2023 all Season Pass Holders, and Day Ticket Holders will have access to use the SLNC Dog Trail System, without additional charge.

Sovereign Lake Dog Ski Trails sit entirely within the limits of Silverstar Provincial Park. Most of our front-country provincial parks allow dogs/pets as long as they always remain on a leash. Leashing your dog keeps you, them, and other wildlife safe. Triple win! Be considerate of other users – ensuring your dog doesn’t bark excessively. These trails are for skiers only, no walking or snowshoeing  are permitted. Pets are not permitted in facility buildings or snowshoe trails. Please pick up after your pet and dispose of their waste in the garbage bins provided. For more information on appropriate dog use in our Provincial Parks please click HERE.

Dogs are permitted in the following areas ONLY, under the full control of their owners:

PARKING: All Dog Owners are required to use the lower parking lot.

Wylie’s Loop: This short loop provides great access for new dog users as the 400m loop is relatively flat and close to the parking lot.

Montezuma Complex (Montezuma, Montezuma Revenge and White Elephant): These ski trails offer more advanced terrain, but once lower into the system, the trails are quite moderate in nature and offer good sight lines for the most part. This area tends to see less general public traffic as well. These are the nicest ski trails on the entire network. They are for skiers only. No walking or snowshoeing.

ACCESS to the “Zuma’s: The route into the Zuma’s is from the south end of the lower parking lot next to the sliding hill. Once on the snow turn left on Wylies Loop staying right until you are in sight of the Stadium. Cross down on the left side of the Stadium Bridge onto Montezuma.

Dogs are not permitted in the following areas: If owners are caught on any other trails their ski tickets or passes will be revoked.

• On any SLNC snowshoe trails.
• On the SLNC stadium.
• On any non-designated dog trails including Gold Mountain, and SilverQueen.
• Inside any SLNC facilities.

DOG USE CODE OF CONDUCT

Sovereign Lake Nordic Club (SLNC) understands some individuals wish to ski with their dogs and also accepts that some individuals feel threatened by dogs. This policy attempts to find a fair balance between the interests of both. All dog owners using the Sovereign Lake “Dog-Friendly” Trail Network are required to be aware of this policy. All members, whether dog owners or not, should be familiar with the policy to support enforcement.

1. Dogs MUST be on a leash at all times which can be no longer than 3 meters in length and attached at the owner’s waist.
2. Owners are fully responsible for their dogs. Where an incident involving a dog takes place, the owner is responsible.
3. Aggressive behaviour towards humans or other dogs (e.g. charging, growling, snapping, and jumping on people or other dogs) is unacceptable.
4. The owner is responsible for ensuring he/she has adequate skiing ability to stay in control of their dog at all times.
5. The owners must clean up after their dogs and dispose of the waste in the available receptacles.
6. Report all unsafe practices to lodge staff immediately.
7. Respect the space of other individuals and keep your dog away from children at all times. This is especially important on Saturday mornings when the Stadium and adjacent trails have high volumes of children in our Youth Ski Programs.
8. Pass other skiers with or without dogs slowly and with plenty of warning.
9. There is an expectation that owners who bring their dogs to SLNC will take responsibility for policing the dog trail and will educate others who are not complying, as well as report situations to the ticket office.
10. All dog owners must possess a valid day ticket or season pass. Waivers for all dog owners are at the lodge. Please check in one time per season and review the terms of use. Trail passes are available at the lodge office, but we prefer if you book your tickets online HERE.
11. Dogs are not permitted in any SLNC Buildings.
