Birds Hill Provincial Park 5 months, 2 weeks agoTuesday, 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]

Windsor Park Nordic Centre 5 months, 2 weeks agoThursday afternoon, -4° to -2°, sunny. Skate. A fair number of skiers, both classic and skate. Very good grooming, but the track ranged from very soft to moderately soft, which of course resulted in some loss of push power and also glide. I sure like skiing in these temperatures … on good snow … and in April.

Birds Hill Provincial Park 5 months, 3 weeks agoBirds Hill Park, Monday afternoon, -8° to -5°.
Bluestem, Chickadee, Aspen, Esker, Lime Kiln: 1 cm of fine grained snow fell on the trail system overnight, so the previously icy/ice tracks now have a nice soft surface. Glide is slower than it has been, but it is still good because the new snow is now well skied-in. We really enjoyed today’s s…[Read more]-
Yes, quite the afternoon in BHP. Skate track glide improved a lot probably due to the snow filling in the pores made by all the suns rays and also covered all the dirty snow . West Bluestem was quick. East Bluestem and Aspen seen lots of weekend use and was worn in places. Probably last chance tomorrow for a good ski in BHP , before the…[Read more]

Birds Hill Provincial Park 5 months, 3 weeks agoSaturday:
The Group Use Road was very firm at 10:45 AM (-3°, sunny), and still quite firm at 2:45 (-1°, sunny). The surface was extremely flat/level, with some remnants of corduroy from Wednesday’s grooming visible on the edges. The two interior bays were not quite as good. -

Birds Hill Provincial Park 5 months, 3 weeks agoFrom Al Stewart on Thursday evening:
A beauty of a day at Birds Hill Park. Lime Kiln and Esker had chiseled tracks this afternoon. Top notch grooming! Kudos to the BHP staff.-
Agreed. Best conditions all year. Red wax worked well for grip today . Looking for purple klister that no one uses anymore and wants to get rid of. I need purple klister for the days ahead.
….skate on GUR was very good too. Can use skate skis and double pole on classic tracks .

Falcon Ridge 5 months, 4 weeks agoFrom 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] -

Falcon Ridge 6 months, 1 week agoFrom 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. -
