Bittersweet 5 months, 2 weeks ago
Robin egg blue sky, pristine white snow and excellent groomed trails made for a very enjoyable ski today. Tracks are holding up nicely and are well formed. Conditions should be very good tomorrow but you would have to ski early as possible in the day. Thanks, Lynn for the timely and descriptive reports all winter long and the dedication you and…[Read more]

The trails looked like they were groomed Saturday night and possibly Sunday morning and are in very good shape. There is lots of snow and it is cold. It was not getting soft when I left at 2:00 with temps at -2. Should be good for the next couple of days at the very least.

Trails were very good to excellent here Sunday. The Red Trail has not been groomed past the Horse Pond.

An inch of snow has fallen on the classic tracks since the last grooming but they are now skied in and will likely get groomed this Saturday. A new batch of hoarfrost (or whatever they are calling it these days) lies heavily everywhere.

Grand Beach Provincial Park 8 months, 1 week ago
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.

Near perfection grooming at Birch today. The skate deck is as firm as I have ever seen it making it excellent for skating. Come enjoy it this Saturday for the Birchkin Pumpski where you have the opportunity to ski both trail systems, Birch and Pumpkin Creek.

Excellent grooming at Birch today with a firm skate deck. The new grooming equipment is doing an excellent job.

2 inches of snow fell on today’s (Thursday) grooming but is now skied in. The Beaver trail is packed but not track set between Jack Pine junction and where it joins with the Squirrel Run.

Beautiful winter wonderland at Birch with tons of snow. Grooming was very good, particularly classic tracks. Was snowing lightly as I left.

Camp Morton Provincial Park 1 year, 5 months ago
Don’t put away your skis just yet. We were pleasantly surprised to find almost 2 inches of FRESH snow and grooming in progress on the WEST side trails. The groomer said the EAST side trails were not groomed and would likely not get groomed for the rest of the season. The 5 km skate deck looked very good. The grooming should set up nicely…[Read more]

Grand Beach Provincial Park 1 year, 6 months ago
Parks’ answer as to why the north end of the Beaver Pond trail was not groomed this winter:
“North of the creek has been difficult to access with the groomer (due to low water level and access/egress onto & off of creek). 4×4 trucks get back in there in the fall and have made a terrible mess of the trail with large ruts throughout the area. We a…[Read more] -

Parks has informed me that they plan on grooming the trails today. They are also planning on attending the CCSAM Grooming Workshop at Windsor Park. Let’s hope this leads to new grooming equipment for Grand Beach. The present groomer is from the ’80’s.

Lots of snow on top of Thursday’s grooming but there is now a well skied in skier track.

Yesterday’s grooming on the green, black, yellow, grey and grey connector was excellent. There are a couple of new trail diversions (to bypass issues I’m guessing) on the northeast section of the green trail.

Windsor Park Nordic Centre 1 year, 8 months ago
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]

Pumpkin Creek 1 year, 9 months ago
On Sunday there were high winds and blowing snow in Winnipeg, but in the valley at Pumpkin Creek, the conditions were ideal. The wind was minimal, the snow was good and the trails were sheltered and in very good condition. We skied the Blue Moon in the morning and the other trails in the afternoon. Well worth the trip.

It was a clear, crisp day when 5 Charleswood Ski Club Members arrived at Shannondale to temps ranging from -18C to -16C. The cold was never an issue as we were very sheltered in the valley so very little wind. We were greeted by David, as usual, always a pleasure to have a chat with. David and “Groomer” Gord are magicians who make trails that…[Read more]

La Perdrix trails – Birch Mountain Sports Inc (Notre Dame de Lourdes) 1 year, 9 months ago
15 Charleswood Ski Club members headed over to Perdrix after skiing at Birch (15 minute drive) to find lots of snow, excellent conditions and expert grooming. It is a fun place in the forest to ski the loops 3 or 4 times. Thanks to Audrey Comte for being welcoming and even building us a bonfire.

Birch 1 year, 9 months ago
15 Charleswood Ski Club members skied at Birch today in fantastic conditions on expert grooming. Birch has worked on additional trail building this summer on the North trails and they were groomed and ready to go today adding 5 plus kilometers to go with the 5 kilometers of south trails. This addition makes Birch an even more worthy place to visit.

You are very welcome, and great advice about getting out there early tomorrow. Thanks for coming today!
