Birds Hill Provincial Park 8 months agoFriday 6-9pm. Classic tracks good, icy and some side crust in sunny sections, hard snow in shaded. Red wax worked well over a 15 km ski. GUR skate track looked awesome. Not many people out at the best time of evening. Would have stayed longer to do some skate skiing after dark , but did not pack donuts and coffee. Dumb… Fail…

Windsor Park Nordic Centre 8 months 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.

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] - Load More
