Latest Updates

all trails groomed today. Except Diamond Express. Some windblown conditions in exposed areas

Went out last night and the trail is in pretty rough shape, most likely due to the city removal of Dutch Elm diseased trees and appeared as no grooming in some time due to that disruption. The Ravenscourt loop was the best of the trail but it was pretty soft and blown out in several spots. Hopefully will be back in ship shape soon, love this trail!

The outer trail and driving range is in good shape

All trails groomed today for skate and classic. Sunshine is making classic tracks pleasantly fast. Enjoy

A post on the A Cross Country Ski Club Facebook group says:
Skied Assiniboine Park on Sunday. Bumped into the trail setter which was cool and from what I could see I was the first person to use. Guess it pays to ski when it’s -40;)
I believe these are the first tracks of the year and so it was pretty slow/soft as the tracks aren’t packed from use…[Read more]

From Karen Nilsson, President of the Lac du Bonnet Cross Country Ski Club, on Sunday evening:
The ski trails were groomed yesterday. The Yellow trail tracked very well where the truck had driven down it. The Blue trail is also tracked again.

Has Wildwood been groomed after the recent snowfall? Thanks!

the outer trail has been groomed, the orange trail has not been groomed, we skied it and it’s in good shape

Jan 29/23 trail update – trails were packed and tracked yesterday. The sun is shining and there is very little wind on the trails, even in this cold snap, it is excellent skiing.

South trails are now groomed for both skate and classic. North trails are groomed for skate only.

Did Esker and Lime Kiln late this afternoon, trails in great condition since grooming, glide was ok and not many have ventured out in the cold by the looks of it.

Would have skied more than the trailhead and Blueberry – our first ski in 3 years – but the packed overnight drifting snow basically vanished away all of the classic trails so it was a fuller workout tracking it all. Hopefully conditions are better today after more hardy skiers are been around.

From David Lumgair on Friday evening:
Greetings to outdoor enthusiasts!

All skate trails were groomed today. Classic trails were all groomed except for Big Woods, which we missed, but we will get it skied in tomorrow.

Trails groomed Wednesday after it snowed. Another inch or two of snow fell Thursday. Most of the trails have since been skied (skier tracked) so it’s in great shade. The beautiful forest sheltered me from the 36 km/h wind.

Did west Bluestem Fri. mid afternoon.Freshly groomed.Wonderful sunshine and cold.Glide was fair,a bit jerky in spots with a wee bit of snow blown in in spots.More traffic would help so get out there and enjoy!

Trails freshly groomed and are in great shape.
