About Troll resort
Quesnel's closest downhill skiing and snowboarding area is just a 40-minute drive away. Famous for its hugs and cinnamon buns, Troll Resort is the legacy of one family and it still has that family feel today. Not to mention, epic shredding on 35 runs spanning 1729 vertical feet. Go once and it'll feel like family, go twice and it'll feel like home. Open five days a week (closed Tuesday and Wednesday) from December to April.
