WINTER WONDERLAND
Muskeg Flyers
Offering excellent
cross-country skiing through
beautiful rolling foothills forest, the
Hornbeck Cross Country Skiing Forest
Recreation Area is located 15 kilometres
Northwest of Edson.
Follow highway 16 west from Edson about 4 kilometres, and
then turn north on the Schlick Road (Range Road 181A). Follow the
Schlick Road 8.5 kilometres to its end at a T-intersection, then turn left and
follow the signs to the ski area.
The Hornbeck Area is a legally designated Forest Recreation
Area reserved for non-motorized recreation under the Alberta Forests Act.
Volunteers of the Edson Muskeg Flyers Nordic Ski Club maintain the trails and facilities, with support contributed
by industry, municipalities, and individuals in the district.
The 30 kilometres of trails in the Hornbeck Area are groomed for both skating and classical skiing. There are trails
for both novices and intermediate skiers. The staging area provides a warm-up shelter with a wood stove, picnic
tables, pit toilets, and a parking lot.
