Windsor Park Nordic Centre

From Esther MacKinlay:
I was speaking to Laurie Penton today at Windsor Park. He is looking for a work party to help close down Windsor Park ski for the season. The work party takes place this Thursday, March 21, from 1600-2000 hrs.
Many hands make for light work.
See you there.

Just classic skied Windsor. All groomed except training grid and Hole #1 of golf course.. Seine river at training grid is no longer passable. Classic tracks generally very good, a few portions on Blue Loop and Graveyard loop that were in the sun all day had iced over by 530PM. Skate track looked great.

Blowing snow yesterday left heaps of fresh snow for excellent tracks and skating – freshly groomed this morning. our last official weekend looks fabulous!

Trails are freshly groomed each day.

Sunday: wooded trail sections are fine, blowing / drifting in open areas today. Grooming will resume after winds settle

Trails are in excellent shape, last groomed Saturday, Feb 23. Firepit and hot chocolate were a big hit on Saturday as well.

Trails were excellent on Tuesday, as planned, but now with 5cms of Fresh Snow overnight: Grooming is in progress….again. Skiers have been out this morning and conditions are quite good, as the base is SOLID

Yipee: more Fresh Snow. Packing of the fresh snow is in progress since early this morning. Tracks will be set Tuesday morning. Parking lot may be challenging

Groomed Friday. Skate trails are excellent. Classic trails: slightly glazed
Occasional bare spots, but still very good condition. Looking fwd to fresh snow Saturday night.

Skied at 9 this morning. Trails were being groomed. Green was finished, and Jim was working on Blue. By the end of my ski, Blue Oval, Black Diamond, and Dog Tooth were finished, with Jim heading for Deer Leg. What was groomed was excellent for classic, and the pristine corduroy for skate looked tempting, but far too cold for skate. Those looking…[Read more]

All Trails are OPEN and in excellent condition. Daily grooming since Christmas. Improved signage on the Blue River Loops. Firepit is ON and toasty today.
