Wildwood Community Centre 1 week agoThanks for the update Harvey. I’d never skied at Wildwood so gave it a try. Some places were too icy, others too soft, others too watery, but some stretches were just right. Classic tracks looked done. Skating will probably be done after tomorrow. Saw two others skate skiers out before dinner too.

Windsor Park Nordic Centre 1 week, 2 days agoWent for an evening skate at about 9 pm and 1 degree. It was pretty good!

Hecla Provincial Park 2 weeks agoSkied at Hecla last weekend (March 13-14). Tracks had enough fresh snow and were in very good shape. Not sure if they’ll get the snow we’re expecting in the south now, or if it will be groomed again, but tracks are in good condition and it seems like a decent destination for last season skiing.

Camp Morton Provincial Park 1 year agoLate season kudos to the Gimli XC Ski Club! Wasn’t really planning to ski today, but on our way home from Hecla, we pulled in to take a peak at the W side trails, never been there before – stove was on, cabin was neat, maps were there, the tracks were fresh & perfect, -3 and big flakes falling, so we couldn’t resist!! Tracks were mid-winter…[Read more]
Where to Ski in Manitoba!
Last year this time we found the west/inland trails at Gimili to be great as well. We didn’t get the chance to drop in this trip, but assume they are good late season and may still go!
