From Al Stewart on Monday evening:
I skated some of the Biathlon trails, parts of High Lake and upper routes Sunday . Impeccably groomed as usual although the melt freeze temps made for a bit of frozen crust . A few rocks showing on the first portage descent on High Lake. I‘d advise walking down as it’s a steep fast chute. Really it still loo…[Read more]

Early Sunday afternoon we skied Orange, Green and Yellow. We tried to ski Blue, but it was blown in. At -2C tracks were fast and fun with lots of debris that did not stick to our skis. There were a few sun-drenched areas where the tracks were starting to soften, but there’s still ample snow, and these trails should still be skiable into April.…[Read more]

Trails around Ski resort have been groomed since last snow, in very good shape, shaded section icy and sunny section soft,. one bare/rocking spot near High Lake, very easy to get around. South shore trail has not been groomed since last snow fall, but still in good shape

From Al Stewart on Sunday evening:
I classic skied the High Lake trail on Sat and Sun this weekend. The trails were beautifully groomed for both classic and skate. Mid winter snow conditions and cold temps in the mornings but bright blue sky and mild in the afternoon. Next weekend should be great as well given the snow depth.

From Karen Nilsson, President of the Lac du Bonnet Cross Country Ski Club, on Saturday morning:
As of Friday, the Agassiz Provincial Forest trails were still in quite good condition. The light dusting of snow that morning covered the pine needles. It’s been a good season!

Lovely snow, trails are in great condition

From Karen Nilsson, President of the Lac du Bonnet Cross Country Ski Club, on Wednesday morning:
The cross country ski trails were groomed yesterday. Carl was able to groom the Blue trail as well.

Fresh groom on most trails after yesterday’s snow. Excellent conditions! Thanks to the groomer and team!!

Skied several south trails in RMNP lFriday last week – grooming appears to take place Thur & Friday; online grooming report describes which trail are groomed, and date (appears remote trails are notgroomed as regularly). The grooming was excellent. “Return trails” are double tracked; and direction of travel is clearly marked on one-way trails.And…[Read more]

From Karen Nilsson, President of the Lac du Bonnet Cross Country Ski Club, on Sunday evening:
The ski trails were groomed yesterday. The Yellow trail tracked very well where the truck had driven down it. The Blue trail is also tracked again.

Would have skied more than the trailhead and Blueberry – our first ski in 3 years – but the packed overnight drifting snow basically vanished away all of the classic trails so it was a fuller workout tracking it all. Hopefully conditions are better today after more hardy skiers are been around.

Trails groomed Wednesday after it snowed. Another inch or two of snow fell Thursday. Most of the trails have since been skied (skier tracked) so it’s in great shade. The beautiful forest sheltered me from the 36 km/h wind.

Trails freshly groomed and are in great shape.

We skied the full Beaver pond trail on Mon. 23rd. Certainly agree with previous post, trail that crosses Creek has never been groomed, I don’t think this year. Information of this should be posted at the parking lot and it would be nice if there were MAPS available, as we don’t ski this area very often. There was fresh snow overnight, trail was…[Read more]

We skied the full 13km Beaver Pond trail on Saturday the 21st. The loop that crosses the creek and back is definitely not groomed and wasn’t marked that it was closed where we entered it at the “7” marker. When we exited at the “8” it said trail closed. Woops! Luckily it was a beautiful day to track our way through a 3km foot path…

Trails are in good to very good shape with ample snow cover. Always enjoyable.

From Edward Zwingerman on Monday afternoon:
Skied Beaver and Squirrel. Conditions good but not great. Needs a little more fresh snow. Hills are hard packed but not icy so very fast but doable. Safe if you can snow plow. Skate skiing looks a bit better but far from ideal. With the terrain and scenery it’s still worth the drive.

40 members of the Charleswood Ski Club enjoyed a day bus trip to Falcon Ridge on Saturday. 97% of the trails had very good snow conditions. I saw one rock all day. A+ skate track. The classic tracks varied as per the Grooming & Snow Report dated January 13 at falconridgeski.com/conditions .

The classic tracks are in very good condition with the odd wiggle here and there. Beware of 2 rocks in the tracks. The skate deck is a mixed bag with some good areas and some not so good.
