Windsor Park Nordic Centre

Had a lovey skate ski last night with friends. Snow conditions are holding up well! I’d rank the trails I skied on (a little bit of everywhere) as excellent to ok. Some lights need fixing so there’s a few more dark areas than usual.

Skated multiple laps of training grid tonite, well packed in for sure and pretty fast.. probably didn’t need the rock skis on the training grid, don’t know what the rest of its like though…

Skate trails freshly touched up Friday Morning. All trails and creek crossings open and in very good,early season condition.

Windsor Park Nordic Centre, Saturday morning, -6°.
– Many skiers. Great to see so many kids (and parents) in Red River Nordic’s numerous Jackrabbits groups.
– A+ skate track, given the amount of snow that we’ve received. I’m glad I used rock skis. Otherwise, you’ll need to be aware to avoid potential gravel in a number of places, and/or you might…[Read more]

It’s HERE!
Ski Season at Windsor Park officially starts tomorrow – Saturday December 1st!
We can hardly believe it. It didn’t seem that enough snow had fallen earlier this week but Jim the Groomer says we’re good to go. Thin in spots but WE CAN SKI!
Some of us are out breath tonight, busy shovelling some of the thin areas, and the river crossings.…[Read more]

Your snow dances have worked! Jim was out packing yesterday and again today. He’s letting things set up and will try to set a classic track tomorrow.
No firm opening date as yet.
Stay tuned!

From Steve Scoles:
Went crust skiing at Windsor Park on Tuesday evening. The crust is not so good in most places, but found a few spots along treed areas that were fun. The St Boniface Golf Course had a few spots that were good. But in general, you have to find the spots and will find most spots breaking through. Also lots of very hard icy areas.…[Read more]

All good things must come to an end. We’re closing on Wednesday Mar 21st. Come by for one last visit (and look for your lost items)!

I received the following report from a friend on Thursday afternoon:
Don’t put your skis away yet! Windsor Park has excellent skiing conditions. As you know, they have plenty of snow and they are still grooming, so the conditions are ideal. Based on the long-term forecast it appears that we will have good conditions for a while yet.
What with a g…[Read more]

Conditions here continue to be excellent with Jim grooming daily. Enjoy while it lasts!

Packing continues! There won’t be classic tracks until tomorrow. Parking lot cleared this evening at the earliest. Take care everyone.

Perfect ski day today….bright sunshine and trails in good shape

Sorry folks, somehow the weekend trail reports didn’t get published here. Jim’s been busy with this new snow (finally!). Things are looking great. Of course some areas will be windblown. Jim will be hard at it again after tomorrow’s snow/wind storm!

Conditions are icy but skiable. Think spring skiing. Creek crossings and jimmy’s dip are closed.

Yes!! We are open!! Trail condition report to follow…

Conditions are good out here. Classic trails are a little shallow, but nothing a giant dump of snow couldn’t fix!

Classic and skate trails are fast and in good condition. But maybe everyone could do a snow dance, just so we can have a little more!

Thursday evening, -5°.
Skate: Icy fast. Nowhere near the iciest track I’ve skied on, but balance was a challenge, although very stiff skis helped. My ski bases may have one or two new very minor scratches. A few degrees milder and it’ll be a very nice track. A few degrees colder and no thanks.
Classic: Icy fast. Very well defined tracks. A 0° to +…[Read more]

Everything was groomed yesterday and touched up today. Conditions are beautiful!
