Our trails are in great shape again this morning, with everything groomed except the South 10 on the Woolner loop.  Conditions will be firm and fast this morning, but will soften and slow as the sun and warm temperatures do their thing.  Yesterday hard wax worked well in the morning, and then klister once the tracks became glazed in the afternoon.  We can expect a similar pattern today, but with that transition happening closer to 10am.  Skin skis really shine in these conditions.  Come learn about them, and check out the selection, in our pro shop.

Our snowshoeing and fat biking trails are in super shape also.  Come out and enjoy being outdoors today.  Call ahead to book a fat bike rental.

Our Valentine’s week “Feel the Love” sale is currently on, with 14% off all regularly priced in store merchandise*

Well, we didn’t do too badly after the past two warm days.  Things have firmed up overnight, allowing Chanse to get out with the big groomer and till everything, and set a new classic track.  We will have a mix of machine groomed granular, and machine groomed powder, that will make for excellent skiing today!  There are one or two, small, icy spots near the chalet, but once you get onto the network the trails are in great shape.

Our snowshoeing and fat biking trails are all in excellent shape as well.  You will find them firm underneath, but with a softer layer on top.  Come out and enjoy the day.  Bike and snowshoe rentals are available.  Call ahead to make sure we have one for you.

Our Valentine’s “Feel the Love” sale starts today with 14% off your total purchase.*

All trails are CLOSED today while we get through this weather system.  Hopefully we will not lose too much base, and will be able to update tomorrow with better news.  Thank you for your understanding.

Our pro shop will remain open.

Our trails did not do too badly with yesterday’s rain and warmth, but we are concerned about the forecast for tomorrow.

Chanse has re-groomed the skate lane with the ginzu, and it has come up quite nicely.  The classic track will be a bit icy early this morning until temperatures warm up.

Conditions will be generally quite fast first thing, and we are recommending that only experienced skiers come prior to 10AM.  Some Strava crowns may be available!

Our snowshoe trail will be open today, but fat biking will only be open until noon before conditions become soft.

We will be open for night skiing today.  The trails should be starting to firm up again by this evening, so it could be great skiing.

We will be CLOSED TOMORROW to try to preserve as much of our snow as we can given the forecast.  Hopefully the temperature will drop more quickly tomorrow, and we will get some new snow at the tail end of the system.  Fingers crossed!

Our Valentine’s “Feel the Love” sale is on starting this weekend.  Get 14% off your total purchase in our pro shop from Feb 11-20. Some conditions apply.  See store for details.

Chance has taken the snowmobile and ginzu out today to re-groom the skate lane.  The classic track is in good shape from yesterday, so we’ll leave it alone.

All of the ski trails are open today, but you can expect some drifting on the Woolner loop given today’s forecast wind.

Our snowshoe trails are fully open.

Our fat bike trails will be open this morning, but will close at noon in order to protect them with the warm temps.  Come and ride early.

Chanse has used the big machine today, and the trails are in perfect condition right now!  After two days of wildly different temperatures, today’s weather looks ideal.  Bring your sunglasses and sunscreen.

We do have a bit of a weather rollercoaster ahead of us this week, but with nighttime temperatures staying below zero, conditions should remain good.

Our snowshoeing and fat biking trails are also in great shape.  We have rentals available if you don’t have your own equipment.  Call ahead to reserve.

What a difference  a day makes!  We are out of the deep cold and into a totally different weather system for the next few days.

All of our trails are in fantastic shape, but with these warmer temps skating will be really good today.  Conditions will be best in the earlier part of the day.

The snowshoe trails and fat biking trails are also in top shape, with just a few soft spots where there are drifts.  The fat biking will be best earlier in the day, as the trail will soften as things warm up.   Fat bike rentals are available.  Please call ahead so we can reserve one for you.

_________________________________________________

The snow conditions are really good right now!  The Husky has done a great job of smoothing out the drifts and firming up both the skate lane and the classic track.  It will be cold to start the day, but remember, “There’s no such thing as bad weather…”  Cover up, and enjoy winter in Canada now that it has arrived!

Our lower loop of fat biking trails will be open today, but there are a few large drifts on parts of the rest of the network making it too soft for riding,.  Only 2km open for riding today.

We are open for night skiing tonight (Saturday), but the lights are not programmed to come on on Saturdays, so be sure to bring a headlamp, or ski under the full moon!  Come and enjoy the magic of night skiing, snowshoeing, or fat biking.  That will also be the warmest part of the day today!

_________________________________________________

CONDITIONS UPDATE:  We will be closed for night skiing tonight due to the weather.  If you are coming for a ski this afternoon, please be sure to be on your way home by 4:30pm, so that our staff can also drive home in the daylight.

It will be a cold day out there today, with winds out of the NW that will make it feel considerably colder.  Best bets today are going to be the trails that are in the woods, where the wind chill will not be as severe. We can also expect some drifting, so sections like the Woolner loop would not be recommended. Perhaps try snowshoeing today, just make sure that you’ve dressed warmly and covered up any exposed skin.

Our fat biking trails are too soft for riding, and will be closed today.

The lights will be on tonight (Friday), and tomorrow night (Saturday), so come and enjoy the magic of night skiing, snowshoeing, or fat biking.

Black Bellows Brewing Co. will be at Highlands Nordic on Saturday night, Feb 4. Come and enjoy a ski or snowshoe followed by a flight of beer and a charcuterie board. Tickets are $40. Please rsvp and pay in advance by Thursday, by calling 705-444-5017.  Families are welcome.  Non beer drinkers $25
