Everything groomed for skating. No classic track yet. Stay posted.

Much work has been done on the driving range, grooming and new tracks. Yellow and purple skate lanes were also groomed, a few icy patches persist.

The Spruce Coulee Trail and Highline Trail were packed and groomed today.  Conditions are good but there is some drifting occurring because of the wind. The Ridgetop Trail was groomed and trackset today.  Conditions are good but will probably deteriorate quick...

Rain impacted the quality of the trails over the weekend, resulting in some melting and the formation of some ice. We then received 3 cm of snow cover, which helped alleviate this impact. Ski Trails were groomed this morning/early afternoon. Trails were groomed 3x over,...

Conditions are still looking good out there. Some thin patches are starting to show especially in the Discovery Canyon area, so use caution when you see dirt or grass poking through the snow. Hopefully there is some more of that coming soon! Reminder, trails will not be groome...

We will be grooming this morning but waiting for more snow to fall for best conditions. Trails will be ready by 11am. 

The trails are still cold hard packed snow after another cold night of -25 temperatures.  The classic tracks are solid and in very good condition.  The skate lanes have been             re-scraped this morning and are in very good shape....

All areas have been groomed and trackset this evening, most areas are good. Capilano was groomed before the snow stopped, and therefore has some fresh snow on top of the groomed and trackset trails.  The grid closest to the pavilion has also been set an...

Where have all the groomers gone...? You may be wondering how it can happen that it's almost mid-January and not a single track has been set on WBC ski trails. After the early snow was roller packed, there was (and still is) a fantastic base on which the skiing ha...

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.

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.

The grooming and tracksetting that was done yesterday is excellent in some place and terrible in others. There was a lot of debris blown off by the strong winds, that was then covered by the snow, as well as numerous trees across the trails. There are several places that the g...

All groomed and tracked this morning. Lots of snow. Everything looks great. Thanks to the Townsends for stacking a bunch of wood. Also thanks to county operator for plowing road on already.

All trails have been groomer packed.  It’s still thin in areas.  

Trails are VERY icy, use caution, especially on the hills.

Snow base is very low in the Ribbon Creek area and with some freeze / thaw temperatures, conditions are marginal and make for challenging skiing.  Please note that Ribbon Creek parking lot and some trails in the area are closed for prescribed fire...
