Latest Updates

Hello! Anybody knows how the conditions are today after the snowfall of the last couple of days? Did they groom the trails? (too bad the nice work that was done last week is probably all covered up with snow!)

Fresh snow, high winds tonight. The nordic center will be closed this evening. Grooming will comence Wednesday morning.

Classic skied GB on Monday and agree with Andy’s report. Just want to add that the Beaver Pond trail is only groomed up to the north warming hut (which is closed due to covid), where the groomer made a loop around the hut and went back the way he came.

Today we skied the 11.2km Moose Lake Trail, right at the extreme SW tip of the park. A lovely forest trail, especially beautiful today with hoarfrost on tall trees.

Ski conditions were not bad at all: it hasn’t been groomed for at least a week and several snowfalls… but it’s been well skied, so tracks are holding up decently although pole plant…[Read more]

Jan 16, 2022 trail update – The portion of the trail that had blown in with yesterday’s strong South winds was packed and re-tracked today. We have a full moon night ski and snowshoe on Monday Jan 17th. Meet at the trailhead for 7:00pm.

9am skied all of Bluestem which was in stellar condition! The high winds hardly made a dent anywhere along the path. Tracks were lightning fast!! I also skate skied the GUR twice around and the trail was perfect! The 2 bays were in great shape as well and again, very fast conditions. Lots of people out this morning. Kick sledders, dog…[Read more]

Checked in today with the landowners, and the Rivendell trails have NOT been groomed this year.

The nearby Frank Skinner Arboretum trails apparently are being groomed: we’ll check them out later this week.

While in the neighbourhood, we visited the Madge Lake ski trails (about 45min north, and just over the Saskatchewan border). The trails h…[Read more]

From Edward Zwingerman on Sunday afternoon:
First time skiing Teulon. Nice grooming, especially considering wind. Plenty of snow. We classic skied, but there is skate skiing. Trails are short so we did a few loops. Some short steep hills which were fun. People we met were very friendly.

From Andy Dwilow on Sunday afternoon:
Classic skied Grand Beach today. The single classic track was chiselled, firm, and fast – excellent! Terrain and course layout – world class!
The skate ski lane was, for the most part, soft, rutted, and uneven, with periodic areas of something pink (engine or hydraulic oil?) on it – poor! Interestingly, I…[Read more]

Did the Transcona Nordic Loop Sunday afternoon. Groomed trail is visible for about 80% of the loops and we balled the other areas for everyone!

Did the Transcona Nordic Loop this afternoon (Sunday). Groomed trail is visible for about 80% but we blazed the other areas!

I heard this was groomed around the 13th. Today trails were skied in, a few places were blown in by all the wind, but overall a fun ski. Worth the trip.

All trails have been groomed first thing this morning.

Lots of people out at Birch today for the continuing epic Birchkin Pumpski week and the race on the South trails. The Birchkin Pumpski trail will be around tomorrow and then at the whimsy of future snowfalls, so if you wanted to do it before its gone, Sunday would be a good day to do it.

Thanks for all the veterans and newcomers skiing the…[Read more]

Classic skied starting at the farmhouse on Omega to Archie’s Swamp, Deep Woods, down Coyote to Cranberry, back up to Cottonwood, Red Hill and back to Archies and Omega avoiding the big wind. The grooming was perfect, the hills safe, and 10.5 km. a little more than an hour and a half. Yesterday, we did most of the other classic trails which were…[Read more]

33 Charleswood Ski Club members classic skied the Red, Blue, and English River trails on Saturday. -13° to -8°. Extremely windy, but thankfully most trail is deep in the forest. Nice soft snow. Good grooming.
The skate track on Red looked very appealing, so I tried a few strides (on my classic skis) — beautifully flat and firm.

Just did 3 classic laps of Wildwood.. track is there but in several places starting to get blown in (mostly along oakenwald and the inner loop where its more exposed to the wind).. Skate lane narrows in places and overlapped the classic trap from the blowing snow.. deep snow along the right most track as well for poling.. its all from the blowing…[Read more]

The day has finally come. Grand has been groomed and has tons of snow. Very good conditions !
