More snow would be welcome of course but there is good coverage and no bare spots or obstacles poking through. Trails have been trackset: the grooming is on the older side, but that actually made it easier to ski fast but in c…Read more

The grooming has held up well: the classic tracks are shallow but consistent (best on Fox Den and Jackrabbit). I didn’t have amazing kick, but double poling was great. Skating conditions were excellent! I couldn’t have asked for better. No walking damage at all.

The club had groomed while it was warm, then received some fresh snow and groomed again: the result is deep firm tracks with lovely fresh snow texture.

The only detail I’d add to Birch’s update below is that there is still a ton of snow here! There were only one or two tiny patches of ground peeking through, in exposed areas of North loop.

Typical spring skiing: crispy in the morning, and then soft in the afternoon. There is still lots and lots of snow, and trails are mostly in good shape.

Conditions were decent, with fresh snow over Thursday’s grooming. Nearly everything had been well skied in, and glide was good. Exceptions were Black (hadn’t been skied since the last snowfall) and Blue (hasn’t been skied in a looong time). Beautiful day!

Looks like it hasn’t been groomed in a little while, but obviously has been regularly skied. There’s a solid base with a fair bit of new snow on top.

We stopped in on our way home from the Whiteshell yesterday. The road is definitely impassable to normal vehicles after the Discovery Centre.

I skied North Star, Blue’s, Cottonwood, Oak Ridge, Crossover, the Ski Hut Trail, Blue Jay Hill, and return. The folks had obviously worked hard to groom their usual impeccable deep classic tracks, only to receive a big dump of fresh snow.
