We skied the full 13km Beaver Pond trail on Saturday the 21st. The loop that crosses the creek and back is definitely not groomed and wasn’t marked that it was closed where we entered it at the “7” marker. When we exited at the “8” it said trail closed. Woops! Luckily it was a beautiful day to track our way through a 3km foot path…

trails where groomed today (Friday)

From Syd Jones, Birds Hill Park’s Park Operations Supervisor, on Friday afternoon:
The trails are in not bad shape all considering (lack of snow). The tracks may be icy so be careful, and any hill areas may lack snow coverage in spots.

Classic trails today excellent at Windsor. Beautiful day for a ski

We skied all the classic trails yesterday. All are in good shape except for a blow out of the track at the bottom of the hill on Blue Jay. All skate trails in good shape

Weds.a.m.,did west Bluestem.Any new snow has been well worked in.Excellent conditions and lightning fast.

Tuesday afternoon, Birds Hill Park — Chickadee, Esker, LimeKiln, Bluestem, east Aspen (all classic trails except west Aspen), -10°.
~1 cm of snow had fallen on the trail system overnight. The new snow was in various states of having been skied-in, so yesterday’s fast trails were slightly slower to much slower today.

The City of Winnipeg Forestry Branch expects to be working on removal of Dutch Elm Diseased trees on the Wildewood Golf Course for the next couple of weeks. They will try to avoid ski tracks.

Monday afternoon we skied parts of Chickadee, Esker and west Bluestem. Tracks were firm and fast with excellent conditions. Lots of other skiers out enjoying them too. Thanks to BHP staff!

From Edward Zwingerman on Monday afternoon:
Skied Beaver and Squirrel. Conditions good but not great. Needs a little more fresh snow. Hills are hard packed but not icy so very fast but doable. Safe if you can snow plow. Skate skiing looks a bit better but far from ideal. With the terrain and scenery it’s still worth the drive.

the trails are blown in, in a few section other good shape

40 members of the Charleswood Ski Club enjoyed a day bus trip to Falcon Ridge on Saturday. 97% of the trails had very good snow conditions. I saw one rock all day. A+ skate track. The classic tracks varied as per the Grooming & Snow Report dated January 13 at falconridgeski.com/conditions .

Kildonian Park golf course should be closed, or at least warning signs posted. Where the trail hasn’t been cut through it has been obliterated provide a road for park vehicles. Several of the cut through areas are at the base of hills, skiing across a narrow road with 18 inch sides may not seem like much, but it’s more of a challenge the my ski…[Read more]
