April 18

Happy Saturday! A number of man-made snow trails were groomed and trackset overnight - including Banff Trail, Banff Loop, Bow Tear Drop and Olympic Easy Way Down. Expect sugary soft snow with a thick layer of ice underneath. This has led to tracks varying from full to shallow in places.

A selection of natural trails, e.g. Meadoview, have been groomed, but these are not showing on Nordic Pulse. Please use caution. 

Conditions are expected to deteriorate with warmer temperatures over the next few days. Enjoy the skiing!

Today is 'Bear Day' at the Canmore Nordic Centre, so expect a busy daylodge and parking. 

We are now on our spring grooming schedule - two groomers on weekends and one on most weekdays, so expect fewer trails groomed during the week as we wind down our season.

Parking lots are icy, please use caution. 

Please note that lights are off at Lynx-Salt Lake area of the Night skiing Loop until further notice. 

The bears are out with bear prints observed in the snow. Please make noise, be aware of your surrounding, travel in groups and don't forget your bear spray!
