Hope you’ve been enjoying the trails! Coverage is getting a little thin, so today (Feb. 2nd) will be the last groom until we get more snow.

Hey Bob, “Pretty Good” is understating things. The Woodlot is in “Great” condition today. The classic trails were fast yet grippy to kick. The skate lane looked great too. Sure, a little snow would help but I loved my ski today! Thanks!
Trails have been touched up. Woodlot is pretty good, Lian connector needs to be skied with caution. Kingswood, Stonehenge and Kingswood connector are very poor, use caution.
The ripple effect can’t be avoided until we get some new snow. The knives on the ginzu are spring loaded and they bounce on the hard packed base and cause the ripple. Just have to suck it up until new snow comes.
Skated most of the trails that Bob groomed today and the going was smooth and fast. Lian St access required some finessing (I mostly stayed in the classic tracks) but was fine once I reached the top of slide down to Kent Road.
I went for a skate ski Sunday in the woodlot and was so surprised to see the trails in such great shape. There seems to be more snow in the woodlot than at Killarney. Great job at grooming.
Conditions magnifiques ce matin dans le boisé de UNB.
Thank you groomers.
At one point it was mentioned that grooming would be suspended until there is more snow but our grooming team was out and it was superb this morning! The classic tracks are still there in great shape as well. So, get out there and ski while it is great! Thanks to the groomers!
My daughter lives in Ontario and my son in Nevada. I was telling them today about the stellar trail work you guys do. Impressive and appreciated
Glad you are back Greg. Stay away from the ditches, too hard on the ribs.
Thanks Bob, I will try to avoid ditches, trees etc
Skate surface has been touched up. Except Stonehenge.
Conditions were great today for classic skiing. Thank you groomers!
Noon hour ‘gang’ was out today and it was absolutely fantastic. We we doing classic, but the skating surface looked nice as well. Awesome what you guys are doing with the snow that we have.
I don’t understand how the trails are as good as they are but… I’m not complaining! The groomers were out again today and doing a fantastic job. Excellent skiing out there.
Classic ski yesterday in the Woodlot with great success. Sure, some snow would be nice but given what we have, it is pretty great. Entering via Liam required a bit of caution but very doable. Groomers, thanks for all your hard work. I understand that you even went out today.
With no snow in the forecast we decided to groom the trails very lightly. The skate deck has been groomed and the track has been refreshed in the Woodlot. P
What is the best access to the woodlot right now?
Lian is okay. Don’t go too fast until you get to Kent Road. Kingswood is very thin at the start for 500 meters and then thin on the Connector. Once at Lollipop you are good to go. The
Without good access, I really just stay away. Most people still go in off the NM highway or run across at KENT from what I can see. I think the club should move on from the UNB Woodlot
Thanks for the update, Bob! The trails have been fantastic this season, and I totally agree with the earlier comment – the grooming has been top-notch. Fingers crossed for some snow soon!
Minimum effort required to just fly out there today! The skate skiing was awesome – the classic track looked pretty great too. Perfect grooming, as always 🤩. Thank you Bob and Rex!
Rex/Bob-Because of the thin snow cover today will be the last groom in the Woodlot until we receive some new snow. Kingswood will not be groomed today for the same reasons.
