All the do not walk on the ski trail signs are up, just a few foot prints on the trails.-

Birds Hill Provincial Park 1 week, 3 days agoThe 3 classic trails that have been groomed continue to provide excellent skiing at BHP. Firm tracks with very little debris. Thanks to BHP for deploying the snowmobile based grooming equipment in the absence of the PistenBully. As we know , the PistenBully makes durable tracks that are second to none but under low snow conditions , the snowmobile…[Read more]

I have been advocating for years for the use of light equipment in early season and low snow conditions. It is clear that great trails can be made with light equipment. Having multiple tools for different conditions is the best.
I agree a this should be permanent tool for grooming options.Thanks again parks

Birds Hill Provincial Park 1 week, 5 days agoBluestem double tracked and in superb condition! The grooming was so good that it makes me wonder if the PistenBully has returned from Calgary. No noticeable seam in the middle of the 2 tracks and a perfect transition the whole width all the way! Thanks BHP staff!

Birds Hill Provincial Park 1 week, 6 days agoBHP Bluestem was surprisingly a good ski this morning. Firm groomed double tracks all around the 14 km loop. Just a few spots with some grass poking through the snow. Used our good skis. No problem. chickadee was also double tracked and did not appear to have any walker damage yet.
GUR didn’t look to have been recently packed and there a…[Read more]-

There are just the two trails groomed chickadee and bluestem,
i’m thinking nothing will be done on the group use road till the work is done and the trucks are off the road. It was plowed from the gate heading east today. So if you are on bluestem where it crosses the road by the gate, it is bare pavement.

Wildwood Community Centre 1 week, 6 days agoNicely skier tracked for classic and pretty fast this morning. Very pleased that walkers have their own pathways and the skier track is mostly free of footprints. Great place for an in-town ski!

La Perdrix trails – Birch Mountain Sports Inc (Notre Dame de Lourdes) 1 week, 6 days agoNov 22, 2022 – Snowshoe trails are in excellent condition with enough snow. Ski trails were packed and tracked on Saturday Nov 19, 2022. Trails are skiable but there is a considerable amount of small twigs sticking up. Field portion has canola stubble sticking out. Recommend using “rock” skis at this early stage of the ski season.

Windsor Park Nordic Centre 2 weeks agoSkate skied Windsor today and it was quite good! All areas are packed and firm, and with the temperature today, fast conditions! Well worth heading down for skate skiing. No classic tracks at all yet. I used my rock skis but could have probably even used my good skis. Just be careful around the gravel paths as I saw a tiny amount of gravel…[Read more]

BHP – Group use road. Tried to skate ski the GUR. Just too much snow. That’s right tooooooo much snow. Not sure why it wasn’t packed for the weekend. Whomever decided to pack about 300 meters east of chickadee a few days ago and then stop. Rest of road was not packed aside from two or three 18 or 24 inch tracks. Not sure…[Read more] -
