Nordic Pulse

March 29th: After about 5 days of almost constant melt, snow flurries returned to the Park Thursday afternoon, with 2 to 8 or so cm's having accumulated (depending on elevation) by the time grooming started Friday evening.  Snow intensified sho...

Winter has returned! All man-made snow trails were groomed last night, however most grooming will now have some fresh snow. Please note, Albertville has been closed. Be cautious of melted areas resulting in puddles as the day progresses. Happy Skiing!

All Goldbar trails were packed again today, but it continues to snow and they probably will be snow covered again tomorrow morning (not a real problem)  We will be out again tomorrow to pack some more and hopefully get ahead of all the falling snow. 

With all the fresh new snow we can ski a little longer.   There is a single classic track on Wagon, Owl, Fox, Multi purpose and Moose.  The other trails were groomed with skate lanes.   Both classic and skate are good but be...

Rolled the Rotary Trail from 50th St to Pumphouse. 

The Nordic Centre has received a lot of snow in the last 48 hrs. Grooming is proving difficult. Will try again Saturday morning. Snowshoe conditions are excellent. Access road has not been ploughed. 

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.

Went for a ski at 10:30 today and the conditions were still quite good. Some south facing parts of the trail had seen some melting, the rest still had fresh snow. Tracks good for classic and skating. 

St Paul golf course has been tracked and groomed on the front and back nine. Ski conditions are fair to excellent depending on which trails you ski. The Tin Cup and Woodland loop are excellent condition. Jamie's long drive is in fair condition with the odd bare spots. The Jack ra...

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

All tracked and groomed this morning. Tracks look great. First 200m of park road not good, take the trail just to left of road. Field trek has  a few short poor spots in it. Have a great ski.

1-2 cm of fresh snow at WBC in the past 24 hrs. East and West Crystal, Loggers and Sundog West have been trackset. Mountain Rd to Moose Connector to Mountain View, roller packed and cordoroy. No track set. Mountain Road to Blue Bridge is poor. Recommended...

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...

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 ...
