about the club
club objectives
•Maintain and develop trails to provide recreational activities to members and the general public.
•Enhance recreation opportunities in the Princeton BC area and promote the Princeton BC and District Community.
Goals
•Increase accessibility and use of the China Ridge trails & facilities.
•Expand the user base of the China Ridge recreation area.
Solutions
•Increase the user base of the China Ridge Recreation Area through the expansion of the China Ridge Cross-Country Ski Association’s mandate to include year-round stewardship of the trail system and promote year-round recreation opportunities at China Ridge. This would involve the transformation of CRCCSA into an all-season society and changing the name to China Ridge Trails.
•Enhance trail network by developing small scale salvage skid trails into new user trails (ski, K9, snowshoe, and mountain bike).
•Develop 5 kms of mountain bike trails per year
•Launch a youth cross-country ski program.
•Offer downhill mountain bike workshops.

Welcome to China Ridge trails, Princeton bc
Breathtaking beauty for winter outdoor enthusiasts: cross-country skiing, skijoring, dogsledding, snowshoeing, and tobogganing. In the spring, summer, and fall experience mountain biking, hiking and horseback riding!
Working with professional trail builder Duncan MacKenzie, China Ridge has built 10km of new singletrack mountain bike trails to Whistler standards. The new trails allow various loop options including riding the KVR and visiting the beautiful white sands beach located on the Tulameen River.
