Birds Hill Provincial Park 10 months, 3 weeks agoGood news for skate skiers. GUR was freshly combed today.
Classic trails? Let’s hope that BHP can freshen them up tomorrow.
Why wait for -25c? Let’s go skiers!-
On Thursday I heard that the Spruce trail has been freshly combed as well. We skied parts of Bluestem, Chickadee and Esker; and tracks were all in really nice shape with a light dusting of new snow.

Birds Hill Provincial Park 11 months agoA post on the A Cross Country Ski Club Facebook group on Saturday says: “BHP GUR skate is in really good condition, a light layer of fresh snow from yesterday morning and a grooming probably done Thursday. The two humps that ran down the the road last week have been groomed out. Flat and smooth now. Except for the vehicle that went down from t…[Read more]

Birds Hill Provincial Park 11 months agoFriday afternoon, Birds Hill Park, -13°, light wind, snow flurries.
Chickadee, Esker, Lime Kiln, west Aspen.
~1 cm of fluffy snow slowed down the tracks a little bit. Conditions were A+, as they have been for the past two weeks. Quite a few people were skiing, including a few families.

Birds Hill Provincial Park 11 months, 1 week agoTrails are fine. Lime Kiln has been groomed. Skating path is ungroomed 🙁 . Dont know why this wasnt groomed. If enough skaters would come out and pack the 2-3 inches of snow down , would probably be ok, but not counting on that anymore,as in past seasons. Restaurant was open to public. Only a few skiers out today.

Lots of snow this past week, very frigid temps, many windy days => lots of blowing snow => it made sense to wait until Friday to groom for the extra long weekend. With everything else that had to be done in the park on the Friday before an extra long weekend, perhaps there wasn’t enough time, or perhaps it’s unlikely many people would choose to…[Read more]

Birds Hill Provincial Park 11 months, 2 weeks agoAs Kevin has reported BHP classic [only] trails were groomed yesterday p.m. Within a few strides you will know that the Pisten Bully is back as well. Deep firm tracks that haven’t deteriorated one bit since they were set. Good glide at -20c and next to nothing for wind.
This is what we’ve been missing!-
Just want to add to Gary’s report that, contrary to Manitoba Parks website, Blue Stem looks to be track set west of Chickadee, as well, and also I did not see any evidence of grooming on the Group Use Road. Excellent conditions.

Birds Hill Provincial Park 11 months, 2 weeks agoBluestem, Chickadee, Aspen and Esker all appeared to be ungroomed.
Bluestem was worst, unstable track, easy to fall off the side. Chickadee was better because of more traffic.
Wondering if BHP will delay track setting until the Pisten Bully is back? -

Birds Hill Provincial Park 11 months, 2 weeks agoSo, I arrived at the stables lot at noon Dec 18, and tried the recently groomed trails. It was a good news bad news situation. The good: it was great to ski Aspen in its entirety, there is lots of snow for the Bully to manipulate, the sun was peeking through a slight haze, and the forest looked like a Christmas card with the snow sitting on…[Read more]

Birds Hill Provincial Park 11 months, 3 weeks agoA lovely ski this afternoon, the trees decorated in snow. I would add that the group use road has been packed (looks like snowmobile tracks) but is likely too lumpy for skate ski. Everyone I chatted with was happy to be out on the trails, groomed or not.
