Skied yesterday, 12 Feb. Thanks to the groomers! Lovely having 100% grooming and the hard work repairing the ATV damage made for a good ski. 5 is in fact groomed however it is a bit dicey, maybe “early stages” and will take a few more snowfalls before it evens out.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to come in from Two Nations depot? Thanks for fixing the surface Jeff, more snow needed to fill the ruts underneath I think.
With the new snow coming, it might be time to get the Pisten Bully out? Would help with the upcoming events.
I noticed on the weekend #4 was never groomed, too bad, it is a favorite of a lot of skiers. Also noticed that maybe the weekend groomers drive too fast as it seems snow is removed from the surface. Point in case the top of the ski terrain park where rocks still showed up at the surface on Saturday morning.
Most of the damage mentioned in the previous post has been repaired by Jeff. The “Intruders” who maliciously damage our trails should get the message soon as a new, bigger gate is being installed tomorrow to keep them out. If you see some tire tracks on the lower trails today or tomorrow (Wednesday) it is the city bringing in equipment to do the work necessary. Great skiing today! Snow in the forecast!!
I headed up 7 at 1:30 today. The city was replacing the 5 k gate that had been stollen earlier . Jeff had just finished repairing 7 and just before I arrived today at 1:30 pm , the trail was yet again ruined in broad daylight for anyone to see. Assuming they would be coming down again in heaven knows what condition, I turned around . This is not safe , let alone ruining the work that has gone into getting the trails ready for us to enjoy.
Overall great classic ski on Monday. Thanks groomers!! Ventured up 7 by the Lone Pine to 6 and could not ski, ATV completely destroyed it and much of outer 7. Deep tire marks. When the weather turns warm and the snow freezes it will be impossible to groom. Difficult job for the groomers to keep this groomed. Fat bikes, walkers, dogs, ATV’s, etc. and in between there’s skiing.
Today, some new snow, fresh grooming, some sun and temps a bit warmer than this morning made for a great ski. Snow is in the forecast so skiing is looking great going forward! Thanks to the groomers!
Afternoon ski today, Thursday 6th. 1.30-3.30, trails 10, 4, 7, 6, 8, 9, 7 and 1. Overall very good conditions, snow a little soft on the sides in places, classic tracks mostly good. Still need to be vigilant if you have new skis, there are still a few rocks poking through or gravel near the surface, here and there, especially on lower sections of 9 and trail 7 downhill that 9 joins to. Freshly groomed today.
Some adjustments were made to Nordic Pulse today and it appears to be working! This could be the best weekend of the year so watch NP for the grooming and get out to ski!
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL SKIERS:
Please note that when skiing the Kingswood trails, you must stay on the groomed portion of the trails. Do not deviate from these sections as you are putting our access to the Kingswood trails at risk. Thank you for your cooperation.

Nordic Pulse App, like some tech, is acting up and the city is working on getting it sorted out. Don’t rely on the report, the city was grooming the last time I was out and the skiing was remarkably good given the minimal snow since the last storm.
Pisten-Bully is out doing its excellent work!
Wahoo!!!

What a wonderful winter day to be out skiing! Jeff was out grooming the skate lane so I got to “Ski the grooming”! Not too cold.

Looks like excellent coverage after the snow last night. When can we expect to see the piston bully out grooming?
NP shows they groomed most of the day.
Is piston bully out of commission?
No. PB cannot be used with the low snow cover we have had so far. More snow is needed.

I emailed the city regarding NordicPulse not working in real time and the response was that it was Wostawea’s app to manage. Is this correct?
Despite nothing on NP there has been fresh grooming at Killarney today.

Skate conditions today on the freshly groomed trails were amazing: best at Killarney so far this year.

The city is out grooming right now according to Nordic Pulse. So, it looks like the tech issue has been sorted out! Take a look.
