Windsor Park Nordic Centre

Skied from 7-10pm, and almost didn’t get a parking spot, it was a full house tonight. As Kevin reports, classic was fast, icy in spots to the point I re-applied kick wax on the trail. Skating in certain places was fast, others slow. Counted about eight white tail deer, they looked fat and happy.

From Andy Dwilow on Wednesday evening:
Skate skied today. Still cold slow snow but grooming impeccable and classic track looked great. Thanks to Jim and crew.

As of 9am Saturday, most trails have been groomed and trackset after yesterday’s high winds. All set for a great weekend of out door, fresh air activity. Come ski!

We took the window of opportunity to ski the Green Loop a couple of times this afternoon at 1:30 p.m. with no wind and freshly fallen snow; we were 15 minutes slower as we had to brake trail in some spots, and climb over a few drifts, but it was so worth it. Once again it was an absolutely gorgeous afternoon for a ski at the Windsor Park Nordic Centre!

All trails at Windsor Park have been groomed for classic and skate as of Wednesday afternoon. With the exception of Brent Sloop Black diamond express and big dog. All the teaching grades will be completed on Thursday along with the rest of the trails.

Fresh snow, high winds tonight. The nordic center will be closed this evening. Grooming will comence Wednesday morning.

-5C yesterday evening and the groomed trails were more than amazing! Was nice to see lots of people out at the nordic centre night skiing. Lots of deer gathered over on Brent’s loop. It seemed as though everyone from kids to families to couples to biathletes and groups of people together were skiing and enjoying the nice weather. Nothing short…[Read more]

Trails were groomed again today. Hopefully winds won’t cause too much drifting. Work continues on the SKIPLAY area. Hope to get the trails all fine-tuned for the warmer weather forecast for later this week.

All trails have been groomed for skate and classic as of 4PM today. Main Grid has also been groomed and trackset. Happy Skiing!!

All skate lanes were all groomed / refreshed on January 2. Including Jimmy’s Dip and Gord’s Grind. Coyote & Blue Oval grids were set. Games area was groomed along with skate lane around the main grid. Prep work is being done on “BIG DOG” (experts only) and the new Jackrabbit Play area. Great to have all of this fresh snow to work with!!

All trails were groomed for skate and the classic track is excellent.

All trails are groomed for skate, and classic track was excellent.

Just want to give a shout out to the hard working staff at Windsor Park and thank them for all their efforts in improving the trail system. Pretty much every trail has been improved by adding additional loops, grooming a better line to avoid off-camber skiing or traditional trouble areas, improved signage and safety (closing the dangerous wooden…[Read more]

Skied a couple laps of Blue this evening. Bit of a moot report, given the forecasted snow, but just wanted to send a hats off to the groomer. Conditions have been really good since our early Nov snowfall. Classic was very good this evening, and the skate was good also. My last ski there was the morning of Dec 24, so it was groomed some time…[Read more]

Took the family on the 24th and must say I was disappointed. Classic tracks have disappeared in many places and in general classic tracks seemed worse than just a week ago.

ALL trails have been packed, and trackset as of 3PM Thursday, December 23. Both creek crossings are open: Jimmy’s Dip and Moonrise. Conditions have never been better!

Trails freshly groomed Dec 21 and in great shape. Enjoy, everyone!

I went late last night, did 10km, and had a good time. Snow conditions were mixed, a lot of ice, and after today’s heat, I’d probably wait until another good dump falls. There were a few questionable areas with some ground starting to show. Was quite surprised to see so many deer on the trail, it made me hungry.
