All skate lanes north of pumphouse refreshed this morning. 

Dec 21st: Plans changed for Friday as a large tree needed removed on Elk Pass, so trails in the South end were groomed, and mostly trackset as usual- there are still some places not fully trackset such as the top 200m of Blueberry Hill where rock is lurki...

Skate lanes groomed this morning. Should be good skating conditions. Track is missing in spots and in poor conditions. Some bare spots. Killer 5 and Marathon CLOSED due to lack of snow. Icy around lookout cabin. 

Marginal amount of snow last night. Rolling has begun for 2024-2025. We will begin grooming as conditions improve.

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...

Skiing not recommended. Conditions and snow coverage are poor.

Grooming is done for the year

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 ...

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.

Trails are in great condition for November!  Parking lot was plowed today. River loop is ski tracked.  Get out there and have some fun!
