The classic trails are icy in places so we will be grooming them tonight and early Sunday morning. The skate trails are in better condition but still crusty on south facing hills, so we will be grooming them likely also early Sunday morning.

Due to the warm condition and full sun today, the classic trails are likely to be icy tomorrow, so please exercise caution if you are skiing and avoid the big hills. We will check it out in the morning, and post an update.

Classic and skate trails are both in good condition. With temperatures not forecasted to rise above 0C tomorrow, we are not planning to groom the trails for the weekend. Hope to see you on the trails!

If you left a bag of waxing gear at the Nordic Centre on Sunday, please let me know.

Skate trails were groomed this morning and are in very good condition. East side classic trails were groomed this afternoon and are in good condition, except from the Nordic Centre to the Ski Hut which is in fair condition (groomer error).

Come join us for a womens recreational ski – Sunday. Feb. 26th, 1pm from the Nordic Centre. Weather looks good and the trails will be in good shape! Give a quick post if you want to come so I have some ideas of numbers. Hope to see you there!

Change of plans: the remainder of the classic trails will be groomed Thursday afternoon. The skate trails will be groomed Thursday morning.

We received another 13 cm of snow on Monday. Tuesday evening the western classic trails were groomed, including Cottonwood, North Star, Calebs Way, and Blues Trail. They are in very good condition. The remainder of the classic trails and the skate trails will be groomed on Wednesday.

We got about 2.5 cm of snow in the freshly set classic tracks which will soften them nicely! Skate trails were groomed tonight just after the new snow fall. Hope to see you all out to our Family Ski Day tomorrow!

All East side classic trails were freshly groomed last night. West side trails are being groomed right now and will be ready to ski this afternoon.

Skate trails were groomed today and with two exceptions are in good condition, although the corduroy is crumbly. The first exception is Two Deer Hill which has minimal corduroy and should be approached with caution. The second is the classic trail skaters use from Badger Hill to The Bridge, including Coyote Hill and Timberdoodle; these tracks are…[Read more]

Currently, skate and classic trails are generally icy. Unfortunately we did not receive any of the snow that other regions close to us got yesterday. Skate trails are to be groomed Thursday morning. Tentative plan right now is to groom the classic trails on Saturday, after the above 0 temperatures expected on Friday have passed.

Expect icy sections on classic trails in the morning due to the warm weather. Skate trails should be in better condition but still may have some icy patches.

Skate trails were groomed this morning. They are in excellent condition. Classic trails were groomed a week ago, but the track remains solid and in good condition. Short sections of south facing hills may be glazed due to recent warm weather, making them fast. Reminder to avoid skiing the classic track when the temperature is above 0 to reduce…[Read more]

Just a reminder to please stay off the trails if possible during the above 0 weather. If you wish to ski, try to do so in the morning when it is still below 0. This will help us prevent damage to soft trails and icing up.

Classic trails are being groomed right now. Skate trails will be groomed tomorrow morning. Let’s hope the wind behaves itself so they don’t all blow in again!

All skate trails were groomed today. Classic trails were all groomed except for Big Woods, which we missed, but we will get it skied in tomorrow.

Bittersweet received 3-4 cm of light snow today. Nevertheless the classic trails are still providing good skiing. With more snow in the forecast Tuesday and Thursday, currently we plan to groom the classic trails on Friday, with the trails skied-in until then.
We plan to groom the skate trails Tuesday afternoon and will assess whether they…[Read more]

We skied La Perdrix trails today for the first time. Heavy hoar frost made the woods a winter wonderland, and added an inch or two of soft fresh hoar-snow to be skied-in on the classic tracks. These gently rolling trails in sheltered woods are very enjoyable. The stuffies throughout the trails were an added surprise; Snoopy on skis was our…[Read more]
