Snowflake Loop is a 1.5-mile cross-country ski trail that makes a loop in British Columbia, Canada, inside Nickel Plate Cross-Country Ski Trails Recreation Site. It runs between about 6,190 ft and 6,240 ft above sea level, with roughly 260 ft of climbing over the route. It is mapped as an easy route. It is a lightly prepared backcountry track rather than a machine-groomed trail. The nearest town is Hedley, about 7.4 miles northeast of the start. Peaks within about 3 miles include Mount Riordan, Beaconsfield Mountain and Green Mountain. There are 25 other mapped trails within about 3 miles, so you can combine or extend the outing. Distances, elevations and the trail shape here come from OpenStreetMap and the Copernicus 90 m elevation model. Grooming and snow conditions change daily, so check the local trail report before you go.
