Map: Kelowna Nordic Core
Generally flat terrain (for the west coast) with terrain undulations of around 20 meters. Small portions are in recent clearcuts, but the majority of the map is in 40 year old mono-culture lodgepole pine forest. This vegetation type makes for excellent runnability, no deadfall, and limited visibility as the low branches of the pine trees are rarely more than 8 feet off the ground. A medium to low density trail network, widespread marshes, scattered boulders, and a mix of detailed and broader contour features complement the vegetation perfectly. This terrain is rated by John Rance as a world-class 10/10 for a middle distance event.
