Wostawea, the Nature Trust of New Brunswick and Crabbe Mountain are co-hosting the Slippery Mitten Sunday Ski Tour at 1:30pm on February 23.

Skiers can enjoy exploring the classic groomed trails on the Slippery Mitten Nature Preserve, followed by a campfire with s’mores, hot dogs and hot chocolate at “Party Korner.” These gentle trails are great for beginners and provide a beautiful nature experience.

We recommend parking at Crabbe Mountain and skiing to the trails to meet up at Point B on this map: http://www.crabbemountain.com/files/directions_to_slippery_mitten.pdf. Please note that it is recommended to take your skis off when crossing the road.

Cross country ski rentals are available at the Crabbe Mountain Lodge. Please note that Crabbe Mountain is a 45 minute drive from Fredericton. Address: 50 Crabbe Mountain Rd, Central Hainesville, NB E6E 1E3.
