Windsor Park Nordic Centre

The MEC Wednesday night races is postponed to Thursday night.

Classic and skate skied this morning. Classic not groomed and slow with a light dusting of new snow overnight. About 1/3 of skate touched up by Jim this morning. These spots are excellent and fast, and include main drag, Brent’s loop, and all of green other than the graveyard loop. All of blue not groomed, except for Jimmy’s dip. Lots of deb…[Read more]

All trails groomed on Saturday, Feb 15. Excellent conditions for skate and classic. Entire center is open for regular hours. Trails lit til 10PM everyday!

Groomed today but very cold with hi wind chill values. Trails open. Building will be closing this afternoon. and will be closed this evening.

Excellent conditions for both classic and skate now.

Our trails are packed but not tracked. Once it stops snowing grooming should happen. Come on down it’s a beautiful mild day today! 🙂

No drop lesson tonight, too much snow not enough track!

Trails are freshly groomed and in great shape for both Classic and skate. The forecasted snow event today is eagerly anticipated. Packing and tracksetting will be the primary focus on Saturday, January 18.

From Bill & Pat:
Windsor nicely groomed!
Thanks Jim!

Jim started grooming at 2:00 AM and has now gone home to nap before starting over again. Lots of fluffy snow, warm temps and happy skiers today means the trails won’t “look” groomed tonight but at least we have SNOW to ski on! Enjoy friends.

If you are planning on skiing after dark, we recommend wearing a headlamp because we do have some lights out around the trails that should be fixed in a couple weeks! Sorry for the inconvenience.

Update 4:45pm: Jim is still out there. Grid is groomed. Skate and classic on green trail. Skate only on blue.

SNOW!!
Jim the Groomer is out working his magic (probably cursing all the skiers behind him but who can blame them). You won’t see perfect corduroy or crisp beautiful tracks until people stop skiing on fresh groomed trail but for now we are just thrilled to see SNOW!
Skating is excellent. Track setting is next.

Holiday hours (this week and next) M-F: 10-10. S/S: 9-6. Closed 1pm Christmas Eve. CLOSED Christmas Day. Closed 9pm New Years Eve.
Conditions are the same. Really hoping Santa brings us some snow soon!
Due to Hydro project in neighbourhood we have no power east of Seine River. NO LIGHTS on except for the areas closest to the clubhouse. Hydro…[Read more]

I skate skied at Windsor Park late on Monday afternoon. Considering how little snow is on the ground, it’s fairly good. I generally agree with a report I read this morning on a Facebook group:
“WP was decent last nite… the training grid was actually really good since theres been a large amount of traffic on it.. from Bonivital to the Seine is…[Read more]

You can skate, for the little bit of snow, its decent.. lots of low spots on fairways, so until we get snow to fill in the low spots its wavy.. some portions are really good, other places fair…. no classic tracks set in case anyone is wondering. It had probably snowed a few cm since before I left…

Yes, doors opened yesterday and today. Consider this a “soft” opening. Not all trails are skiable, especially in the river loops. Very little snow to work with. If you do come this weekend, please SKI WITH CAUTION. We will officially announce our opening when we are confident all levels of skiers can enjoy a safe ski on all trails. We may hav…[Read more]

Thanks for the snow dancing everyone! It appears to be working. We will update our status again soon – stay tuned!
