The China Ridge Ski Trails are located 8.5 km northwest of Princeton, British Columbia, on a north-south upland ridge. The highest point on the trail system is 1310 m (4300 feet). The area features 40km of trails (20km groomed; 20km untracked for the backcountry ski enthusiast). Portions of the trails follow old roads or skid trails through open timber, across natural grassy slopes, and through a variety of forested terrain. The skier will often experience clear sunny days, dry snow conditions, and outstanding vistas of the valley below. There are two shelters on the trails where one may enjoy an outdoor fire, and there is a warming hut about ten kilometres from the trailhead. While the terrain is undulating, most of the trails would be considered beginner to intermediate. The fine ski trails are maintained by the hard work of China Ridge Cross-Country Ski Association members. This is a non-profit society, and donations are greatly appreciated to help pay for the expenses incurred by the society for this service. A donation box is located at the trailhead.
