It is going well!  A whole lot better than it was.  No classic tracks.  Not enough snow and it is all crushed ice anyways.  Skate skiing, walking and biking would be excellent.

Trail conditions on trail 101 are fair, trails 103 and 104 are "early season good". No tracks set, the base is thin and hard, but the surface groomed well. No grooming to the parking area , but don't let that fool you, ski season is here!

Good track throughout the park, reset in various stages since the last big snowfall.  Watch out for many low-hanging trees on the first big downhill section of Wild Rose, there is no track set and it's a bit of an obstacle course until they get cleaned up.

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.

Groomed and track set after nice snowfall Sunday/Monday. Grooming done by Parks staff.

5km loop and Summit Loop still have willows and some bedrock exposed due to low snowpack. Not advisable to ski these loops. All other loops less than 5km are groomed for skate.

All trails groomed and in good shape.

Trails within Blackstrap Provincial Park are currently closed until park personnel are able to groom/pack. We are currently making repairs to grooming equipment and expect to have trails opened by early December.

Most trails in great shape. South McRae a bit bumpy and a few exposed rocks
