Hi All! Found this page helpful in the past so thought I would join and share my 2c. I took the old fish scales up to BHP today, unsure of what to expect. Followed D Baniak’s tracks, it’s wet snow but really not terrible once you get past where the horse manure is. given it’s only november can’t complain too much. Season’s open, I’d say!

So,I arrived at the park restaurant bldg at 12:30 with my “talking” skis. Set off on the Esk trail:nobody had been down it. I weaved my way around horse tracks and droppings breaking a trail where it seemed best. By the time I arrived at the junction with Lime Kln the horses were gone and I broke trail on the left side of the trail to the lookout,…[Read more]

Some skied in trails at Wildwood today – but definitely rock ski conditions There is the usual early-season 400-metre Lovely Little Lawler Loop skied in for skating on the east side of the main course.

See details above about our Trail Clearing Day on Oct. 21. Come if you can!

I’d like to echo what some have said from time to time: THANK YOU to the BHP trail groomers for an absolutely amazing ski season!!!!

So, me and the G-man started today at 9:30 Apr 12 at the stables parking lot. Skied east Bluestem to the lookout, Chick loop,and Esk back to the parking lot. The ski track was very melted and shrunken, with the base of the track collapsing under my skis from time to time. I had decent luck keeping one ski in a track and placing the other…[Read more]

Tuesday, 7:00 to 10:30 AM, -1° to +6°, sunny, Group Use Road, icy to moist, needles and other forest debris reappearing, hoof prints, foot prints, and a kick sledder’s track that sank as deep as 5 cm in many places. Overall, good skate skiing. The current very warm temperatures and forecast rain late this week will accelerate the melting, but I t…[Read more]

I was out at 7:20 a.m. Mon. -1c. Chickadee had lots of footprints so I turned around and did West Bluestem in reverse direction. Still in pretty good shape and icy/crusty at that time of day. Lots of double poling and a very satisfying ski with effortless glide.
Good snow base so who knows how long it will last.

Wildwood skate track groomed this morning Hole #8 included. Classic was not groomed but it’s still in good shape with the exception of Hole #8.

Great ski Saturday morning on Bluestem, Esker, Lime Kiln and Aspen! Conditions were firm and super-fast when we started, but softening by noon. Lots of skiers out there enjoying the beautiful sunny day, and possibly last classic outing. Hope it cools off enough so the trails will still be skiable!

The skate trails will be groomed early Sunday morning. Conditions for skating will be best likely until late-morning Sunday when they will start getting slower and sticky.

Trails groomed again this morning, April 8. South-exposed slopes (Black Diamond, Creekside, Foxhole) are icy. otherwise conditions are remaining excellent for spring skiing.

Friday 6-9pm. Classic tracks good, icy and some side crust in sunny sections, hard snow in shaded. Red wax worked well over a 15 km ski. GUR skate track looked awesome. Not many people out at the best time of evening. Would have stayed longer to do some skate skiing after dark , but did not pack donuts and coffee. Dumb… Fail…

Awesome ski in Windsor Park today, early afternoon, with my skin skis. Much appreciate the post-storm grooming!❄️
