Merry Christmas frol the crew at Confed and Foothills Nordic! Most of the trails hane survived the recent warm spell but spots are down to grass and the trails are very icy right now. Until we get more snow we will move to our "low snow route" trails and we will try our best t...

The lack of snow and warm weather is taking its toll. Track is icy and dirty. Skate lanes only were groomed and expect will be fast and icy. Ski with caution and hope we get snow in 2025. 

Skate lanes refreshed

Dec 27th: Light snow brought about a cm to the Park on Thursday, with about 3 to 5cm's accumulating on the trails over the last week, and most trails have no more than this amount of snow over the last grooming. With the thin base at low elevations, inclu...

Dec 19th: About 3 to 5cm's of new snow had fallen on the Mt Shark trails over the last week, just enough to get all trails snowcat groomed and the majority mostly trackset. Goomed only were Ursa Major (steepest hills and thinnest base) and Hercules (steep...

The Spring Creek Trail system was groomed and trackset today.  Conditions are fair to good with a few thin sections. Ferguson Hill Road, Murray Hill Road, and the Willow Creek were packed and groomed today.  No tracksetting was completed.  There are still...

While we did receive 22 cms of snow last week, once roller packed it became less than 10 cms of base.  We roller pack in the early season to take away the insulating properties of loose snow to drive the frost deep into the ground. This is a critical step in our base prep...

December 15 update: Chinook Glaze is here... unfortunately, due to the 12+ day Chinook Calgary has experienced since December 2nd.  Think if you sink!!!   If you are sinking into the snow, please t...

All groomed and tracked this morning. Road and trails are in good condition. Bear lake looked good but snow was drifting a bit. Field is getting better. Road campsite and bear lake groomed for skate skiing. Looks like going to be a very nice weekend. See you on the trails.

Regular volunteer-based grooming on over 50km of trails, accessible from the Jasper townsite, will continue through the winter season as conditions allow.  Want to support this project and flat-packed trails in Jasper National Park? Click the desktop button above ...

Crew was on the trails today packing the recent snow. No tracks set at this time as sticks and leaves were coming to the surface. Still need a little more snow in the treed areas.
