Lots of Snow Left at the end of March

Grooming is scheduled again Saturday morning, March 28. Last full grooming was March 22. Smoothed out the surface for fast skate-ski conditions. Existing tracks were avoided, so they remain along the majority of trail sections where they had been set last week – tracks are icy, due to the thaw/freeze cycles, so be careful and bring klister. Whichever your ski technique, be extra cautious on the downhills – even after deep renovating with the Ginzugroomer teeth, these sections still ... More

WCP – Grooming March 14

With the exception of trail 5 and the trail to the hydro line, all main skate trails were renovated and are in good condition with a firm base.   Trails had significant ruts due to be skied on when the base was very soft; this doubles the grooming time.  We can extend the season by staying off the trails if your skis are sinking several centimetres; wait until it gets colder.  Be cautious if using trail 5 as it is rutted and there are exposed rocks. Some trails east of the railway have ... More
