There is an outdoor biffy, fire pit, and warm up shack.

We skied La Perdrix trails today for the first time. Heavy hoar frost made the woods a winter wonderland, and added an inch or two of soft fresh hoar-snow to be skied-in on the classic tracks. These gently rolling trails in sheltered woods are very enjoyable. The stuffies throughout the trails were an added surprise; Snoopy on skis was our…[Read more]

Nov 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.
