Windsor Park Nordic Centre

The warm temperatures have taken a significant toll on the ski trails. Sunday will be the last “official” day of the Windsor Park ski season. Access to the trails will remain, however, for anyone wishing to continue skiing. Thank you to everyone for making this past season so wonderful. See you next season!

Friday was another great spring skiing day. Trails were icy until about 10:AM Then a nice soft top layer, great for skating until about 1PM. a bit mushy midday until the sun went down when things got fast again. Skiers can expect similar on Saturday after the -5C overnight low. Trails are continuing to hold up well: thin in exposed sunny…[Read more]

All skate trails freshly scratched and renovated as of 9AM Wednesday. Excellent spring conditions!

Trails were groomed and trackset today before things got too soft. Trails are holding up well. As of 4PM today things were getting fast as the temperatures were dropping. Non-operating lights of DOG TOOTH and BLUE OVAL have been repaired.

WARM WEATHER FORECAST may be hard on the trails this week. There are no plans to close this week, as this could be the last few days of the season at the center (we hope not!). The anticipated freezing each night will help a great deal in keeping the snowcover as long as possible.

All trails groomed on Friday night. 3 cms of fresh snow has made a world of difference to the ski trails. Great looking corduroy on the skate trails. Expectations are that trails will be in great shape until, at least, early next week!

Over all: good to excellent skiing conditions

TRAILS OPEN. PLEASE USE CAUTION. Jim has done what he can with the skate trails. Renovated some areas of the green trail. Classic tracks appear to have held up well. RIVER CROSSINGS ARE CLOSED. You can cross the river at Stone Bridge and Steel Bridge only. Skier reports will be helpful. Be careful and enjoy yourselves out there!

Jim out there fixing and assessing. Hope to open later today. Will update soon.

TRAILS CLOSED MONDAY (Feb 22). Hopefully just a 24 hour closure. We’ll assess after the warm day. Trails lights are out – electrician coming Monday. Hope to see you all out skiing again very soon. Stay tuned!

Jim groomed all the skate this morning and touched up the classic. “All good”, he says. Have a great day everyone!

Skate trails groomed early this morning.

Jim has groomed EVERYTHING today!

Jim has packed all the fresh fallen snow. He’s set tracks on the practice grid and is waiting for this very strong wind to calm down before setting tracks everywhere else – sometime tomorrow.

Classic tracks still in great shape. Jim renovated the skate trails today. Happy skiing everyone!

A little bit of snow is better than nothing at all! Trails groomed this morning. Everything in great shape. We plan to organize a snow shovelling party this weekend to patch up some thin spots that need TLC.

Trails are holding up amazingly well considering the warms temps and lack of new snow! Ski conditions are excellent. Hopefully more snow is in our immediate future.
Thanks to St. Vital Councillor Brian Mayes, two heated portable toilets are now installed in the parking lot next to the garage. Happy skiing everyone!
