Wednesday 28-Jan '26 8:15 AM
.
SHORT VERSION: -3.3°C @ 8:00 AM. Snowmobile/ginzoo grooming of skate lanes. Good conditions.
.
LONG VERSION: Skate lanes will be a little firmer than yesterday, just what you want. Lots of relatively fresh tracksetting from the last few days should be in good condition. We were able to use the rubber tracked snocat & Peter's magic compactor bar on many of the higher elevation trails yesterday to compact the Sun/Mon snowfall, in preparation for the upcoming warm spell. So skate lane skiing at higher elevation might be OK today, but don't expect much in the way of useable tracks on those higher elevation trails.
.
PARKING: The senior snowshoe (Explore More) crowd will be out in full force today for their 3rd session, so the premium parking spots will be a bit clogged up from 12:30 to 3:00PM. Lots of space in the other lots.
* The Loop: The artificial snow covers a CLOCKWISE 1.2 km loop: Cross Country Stadium, Biathlon Stadium, SuperSprint, Snoopy's Corner, Paranordic Cutoff, Nite Rider west to Canada Cup Junction, & then back to the Cross Country Stadium. Or you can take Homecoming for a swifter, steeper return to the stadium.
.
TRAIL DIRECTIONAL CHANGE: Up the Creek can also be known as Down the Creek temporarily. Until the Hickory Wing West (closed) situation is sorted, Up the Creek is a TWO (2) way trail, for the balance of this season anyway. TAKE CARE! There is a blind steep hi speed corner. Keep to the right, uphill skiers have the right of way.
