April 18th: For the final time this season, the Core Village trails received one last bonus groom to refresh last night’s work. Tracks are limited on some lower trails, such as South Kovach and Ribbon Link. Expect a few icy sections and patches of expose...

HNC main gate is now closed. Trail access is still available via the K9 trailhead. 

Tracked tight behind sled. Good track. Should be fast this evening. Tracked field to moose then beaver onto road and northbend to outside campground. Can't do all as machine heating up too often. Last weekend. See you out here

Due to unexpected equipment issues, trail grooming at SWC is temporarily unavailable. Skiers may still access the trails but do so at their own risk. No on‑site safety or rescue services are available, and emergency response t...

Grooming is complete for the season.  Thanks to everyone who helped make our grooming a success.  We're already preparing for next season and summer trail maintenance days.  Stay tuned.

Not grooming, just out for a ski and getting a rough estimate of the distance. 

Some people went skiing on Saturday and reporting lots of snow and decent conditions. Best time to go is between 10 and 12, when the snow starts to soften up but yet not too soft. Skate skiing is recommended. Have fun. 

 The front and back 9 at the St. Paul Golf Course, has been tracked and groomed.  🎿 conditions are excellent due to recent snowfall. However, the last part of Jamie's long drive has a water hazard at far SE corner and it is closed. It has been rerouted to loop back ...

Groomed the skate lanes and set some new track on the low Snow route. Conditions are generally quite good where it was groomed. Monday will be the last day for skiing at Confederation Park with the latest warm weather coming. The snow we have will not last long as the days are...

Lower trails were groomed today. The upper trails were partially groomed today.

Hi folks! After a glorious three days of brilliant skiing last weekend, the latest chinook blew in decimating the snow on our trails, and bringing down a lot of forest debris. I hope that many of you were able to do some sliding when it was good as it seems unlikely that condi...

We tried our best to do something with today's snow, unfortunately it was very wet and the moisture in the base was not easy to work with. The conditions are considered bad to terrible and are barely skiable. There is still snow on the trails, but skiing is not recomme...
