Nordic Pulse

Around Junction 88 (Frozen Thunder) the snow is very soft, so minimal grooming has taken place here and there is no track set in this area.

All ski trails groomed and track set. Haul groomed and track set from the Tecumseh parking lot. Dog trails and snowshoe trails groomed. Have a great weekend! 

Jan 18th:  After about 2cm's of snow fell at low elevations on Thursday, light snow started falling around dark on Friday, accompanied by high winds, and mostly tapering off around midnight after another cm accumulation.  This snow was less than fore...

Trails have been fully reset  Classic tracks are in great condition  Skate lanes are in great condition  Minimal debris on the trails now  Dress warm and enjoy your skiing! - The midnight groomer 

About 3cm of new snow fell on Friday which will really help the trails. The Blue, Green and Orange trails were groomed to try and get the hard pack/ice layer to bond with the new snow. Snow is too hard underneath for new tracks. We will see on Saturday how it does. There are l...

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...

One pass with the roller. More grooming on the weekend. No classic track.

The Spring Creek Trails were packed and groomed today.  No tracksetting was completed.  Conditions are good but  will deteriorate quickly due to blowing and drifting snow. The Murray Hill Road from Ferguson Hill Road to the Golf Course Road was packed and...

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.

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,...

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.

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...

Good conditions generally. Still the occasional thin section. Ski with care. 

Jan 17th: Grooming took place at Mt Shark on Thursday with snow flurries falling throughout the grooming shift. When grooming was completed some of the trails groomed earlier in the day had accumulated about 2 to 4cm's of snow on top of the fresh grooming.&nbs...

Trails on the front and back nine on the St.Paul golf course are in very good condition and very fast due to the ice crystals created during the last grooming cycle. If you happen to ski on this trail this morning you may have seen this sun rise or the sun set this evening.

January 7th update: +9 at 11:50pm January 7th means soft trails everywhere, unfortunately.  Please do not skate ski or bike when trails are soft.  Walkers please only walk on the dedicated walking trai...

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

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

Went for a ski today and we had about 3 cm of snow followed by some rain and then wet snow. The classic track is quite good as it has been skied in well. Skate skiing would ok but much of the snow is loose on top of the previous grooming. Will look to groom once it gets cooler...

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...

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 ...
