Welcome to the CSTC Website

Club History

A Quesnel cross-country ski club, the Cariboo Ski Touring Club (CSTC) was formed in 1975 to further all aspects of cross-country skiing in the Quesnel area, and has been in continuous operation since that time. The current club membership is approximately 400 members. 

Ski trails at 10 Mile Lake Provincial Park have been track-set maintained and improved by the CSTC since 1980. Active track-setting and trail improvements at Hallis Lake Community Pasture began shortly after that, on a less structured basis, and has continued to expand to the present day. The club has undertaken several initiatives such as the Jackrabbit Program, to provide lessons for 50 to 100 young skiers each year. Also, the junior racers and biathlon programs provide coaching and development for teenage youth to pursue these activities. The club has also constructed and maintains three backcountry ski cabins in the Barkerville area. 

Hallis Lake

In 1995 the Ministry of Forest was approached and engaged in preliminary discussions regarding the development of a full cross-country ski facility at Hallis Lake. The executive of the CSTC believed that the location would be ideal. Hallis Lake is only about 15 km, by paved road, southeast of Quesnel. The area offers excellent skiing variety with hills, wetlands, view-points and an abundance of wild life. The prime function of the facility is cross-country skiing, but any non-motorized sport is also welcomed; hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, running, etc., use of the facility takes place in all seasons.
