Happy Monday! Grooming is still occurring on many trails as can be seen on the map at left. Machine-made snow trails and upper trails remain in the best condition. Please see the following note from the grooming team: Many areas now showing signs of thinning snow depth ...

Most trails rolled on Sunday. Grooming will likely continue as conditions allow. 

Trail Updates: East side trails reset with pistenbully.  Double track set on wagon, and single track set on coyote fox and owl. Be aware of dirt patches on some sections on fox and owl. West Trails not touched since weekend.  Skat...

March 31st:  Grooming under clear skies on Sunday night. Snow flurries over the past few days brought 3 to 10cm's of accumulation, depending on elevation. Warm temperatures prior to this snowfall caused significant melting and the trails may be icy under ...

Set tracks at Jarvis Lake: Meadow Run, Rolling Run and Pine Bay Road to Kelly's Bathtub.  Great condition.

In the past 24 hrs, approx 12-15 cm of new snow at WBC. The core has been roller packed and grooming will continue tomorrow. see the map for details of roller packing today. Enjoy, while it lasts. 

All Goldbar trails were packed again and trackset, including Woodcutters, with some soft skate lanes and the occasional bare spot in the classic track. Otherwise trails are mostly good. 

After getting the biggest snowfall (~30cm) of the year, this week...I groomed the trails. Large snowcat was needing repair so did it with the side by side and roller. Classic track is perfect and skate track is also good.  Ski hill and chalet are closed, but access...

All groomed and set this morning. Looks like a great track.....beginning of park road very poor...use grass to the west. Field trek traverse down big hill is probably unskiable.   Sorry skaters i could free up the groomer so no skate skiing. Looks like we get a great...

Trails have been tracked and groomed on the front 9 only. A trail has also been set for the Jack rabbit skiers near the Tin Cup Restaurant. Trails are in fair to good conditions.

5 to 7 cms new snow fell in the Ribbon area that has already been affected by sun poking through this afternoon. This fell over a very saturated and reduced base, so no grooming will occur and that will mean a wrap up for the grooming season. <...

With the warm weather we haven't been able to groom this week.  Normally we stop grooming March 31st,  so it looks like we're done for the season.   There's still lots of snow on upper trails so depending on the day, there may be good skiing for awhi...

March 27th:  Grooming took place at Mt.Shark on Thursday the 21st with all trails groomed and trackset. At that time abundant new snow had improved the base considerably, but there has been an extreme melt throughout the Spray Valley this week. Current co...

Side X side tracks lower valley entered off bear to squirrel then wolf trail up hill to wolf lower trail entry.  These tracks damaged the trail requiring repairs to top of base.  Additional tracks off deer onto upper wolf but not too damaging.

March 18, 2025 Ferguson Hill Road was groomed and trackset today.  Conditions are good with some thin and icy sections. Murray Hill Road, from the intersection with the Ferguson Hill Road to the Golf Course Road, was packed and groomed today.  Condition...

We received 10 to 15 cms of new snow over the past weekend so all trails got groomed today. The thin and slightly icy spots are covered with the newly packed snow. Don't wait to get out as the sun will really start to affect it mining towards the end of the week and the skiing...

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.

As of February 28 2025, we will not be grooming until there is another significant snow fall. 

Conditions are poor on our last remaining loop (Smeltzer) so all trails at the Broadmoor are now officially closed till we get a significant amount of snow.  We still have enough base to reopen, but we would need a large amount to justify opening this late in the season. ...

March 3 update: Get ready for golf season I suppose... Another winter come and gone; thank you to everyone for supporting Shaganappi Nordic Operations  Club's (SNO's) winter trails! If you enjoyed the trails, consider a donation through our website: ...

As expected the warm temps and sun have but melted most of the trails and we have decided to close. The only way we would be able to open again is if we have a dump of snow and some cold temps. Thanks for a great season and if you enjoyed skiing at Confed this year it isn't to...

All trails have been groomed today and 80% had enough snow to trackset  Snow is still extremely thin at the top of Pine Ridge loop as well as balsam, neither trail is recommended two small loops inside the Sandy  McNabb Campground on the road have been ...

Trails are soft in the sun, but otherwise wonderful!  Watch out on Cathedral, some hero on a snowmobile has wrecked most of the set track...
