Windsor Park Nordic Centre 8 months agoBasically 0 conditions in the afternoon . Tried some different waxes but nothing really worked well . Finally went with Swix for dry snow and that worked out ok with skate poles for icy places . Suns rays are beating down in sunny areas and eroding the trails and in shaded areas trails are dry still. Probably best to go after sunset and colder…[Read more]

We plan to groom the trails as soon as possible following the…[Read more] -

Birds Hill Provincial Park 8 months 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 8 months 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 8 months, 1 week agoFriday afternoon (-3C) the Spruce trail was softening in the sun-drenched areas, and there’s a bare patch near the NW loop. Still good snow coverage and should be skiable for a while yet…enjoy!

Birds Hill Provincial Park 8 months, 1 week 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 .
