Use the Dashney inset on the Kingdom Trails winter map to plan this outing. It identifies the ski-center base and nearby loops; the much larger Kingdom Trails map also includes other venues and winter activities with different access rules.
Trails & terrain
The Dashney inset marks easy green routes such as Frost Hill and Candy Bar Hill, with blue options including Chickadee and Trillium. It places parking and the Nordic Center together near the base loops. Follow the direction arrows and numbered junctions. Darling Hill’s Nordic routes and the wider fat-bike network are separate parts of the regional map.
Lessons & getting started
Choose an initial loop using the Dashney inset’s difficulty colors and ask the center about a suitable route. A scheduled lesson program was not confirmed in the reviewed operator resources. Arrange instruction before relying on it, and distinguish ski trails from the regional map’s other activity routes.

Arrival & parking
Use the Dashney Nordic Center at 838 Dashney Road in East Burke. The winter inset identifies center parking and restrooms. Do not substitute the Kingdom Trails Welcome Center in the village or a Darling Hill trailhead for this ski arrival. Buy membership before an outing that starts outside staffed-center hours.

Passes & trail etiquette
A Kingdom Trails membership is required. Ski and snowshoe use is allowed on the Nordic trails, with no fat bikes or walking. Snowshoers keep to the side opposite the set track; descending skiers have priority. Follow the winter dog policy, leash and cleanup rules, map exclusions and any posted closures rather than extending Dashney’s dog access to the whole regional network.
