April 27th:  The final grooming of the season in PLPP was done on April 14th in the South end of the Park.  A few cm's of snow fell overnight on the 25th, but it melted quickly where it hit bare ground, and shrunk to varying degrees where it landed o...

April 11th:  After 2 weeks of heavy snow during Mt Shark grooming, and last week when wet snow prevented snowcat transport, there is finally a day of Spring conditions with fresh grooming on the Mt Shark trails.  There were clear skies overnight with...

Good conditions.  Excellent for April. Marathon set for classic only but skating still doable. Have fun. 

April 4th  10 cm of new snow covers the previous groomed base. 10-15cm more snow is expected in the next 2 days. As of April 1 trails are open for all users. Conditions are good for ski touring.

April 2nd: Mild weather has resulted in the snow base melting rapidly, exposing dirt and pavement frequently. Remaining snow and tracksets will be soft and challenging to ski.

Grooming is done at Shaganappi for the 2023/2024 winter, but the main gates are open to the public this weekend and likely during the week. The ground softened a lot during the warm spell a week or two ago, and the City requested we stop grooming, as they hope to open S...

We have seen quite a bit of melting in the last week. There is still a decent amount of snow in the wooded areas but the open areas are getting very thin. Recommended to ski as it is mid day as it is quite hard when freezing and soft in late afternoon. 

At 4pm Sunday Jan28, Moist snow everywhere except a few well shaded locations. Soccer field melt has exposed several small and growing grassy spots. Most trails still quite skiable on previously packed areas, however track-setting has been limited due to low snow depths. Lake ...

Trails are all groomed and tracked, in good condition. Happy skiing!
