KLP SKIER COMMENTS 🌟
We’ve created this new post so skiers can share their tales from the trails.
Happy skiing everyone!
Groomer Update: # 1, 2, 3 and E are groomed
Groomers reporting that Killarney trails #1, 2, 3 and E are groomed. Beat tomorrow’s weather system with a ski on the trails today!
SATURDAY UPDATE - TRAILS #1, 2, 3 AND STADIUMS GROOMED FOR LESSONS/CLINIC
Please note that groomers have rolled trails #1, 2, 3 and the stadiums to allow for our youth and adult ski lessons and skate ski clinic to be held today. These will take place throughout the morning and up to 2:30 pm.
Nordic Pulse was not activated this morning as the trails were groomed for lesson purposes.
🌟 UPDATE RE: WEEKEND GROOMING 🌟
We’re pleased to report that City groomers are planning to go out in the morning to roll the trails and the stadiums so that kids lessons, adult lessons, and the skate ski clinic can take place.
They don’t expect to groom all trails and what they do will depend on weather and trail conditions at the time.
The present plan is to also go out on Sunday to groom and set tracks using the ginzu as the trails should have firmed up by Sunday.
Thank you to the City groomers for helping Wostawea launch our lessons and clinic this weekend!
❄️ 2022-2023 TRAIL CONDITIONS BLOG ❄️
We direct you to the Nordic Pulse Tracking page for up to date reports on grooming. You’ll find the link on our Trail Conditions menu.
This blog will remain open should you want to post your own comments on conditions.
We look forward to another awesome season on the trails!
MONDAY UPDATE - NO GROOMING THIS WEEK
Unless Mother Nature sends us unexpected snow and ski-friendly temperatures, the word from groomers is that there won’t be any grooming scheduled this week.
If anything changes, we’ll post right away.
We share your disappointment that the season has been shortened and hope you had lots of memorable days on the trails.
FRIDAY UPDATE - GROOMING UNDERWAY, NO GROOMING ON WEEKEND
Groomers are out on the trails and have just groomed and set tracks on 2 and 4 and are now going over to groom and set tracks on 6, 7 and E.
There will be no grooming on the weekend.
Get out on the trails and have a great ski!
MARCH 10 UPDATE
The groomers have reported that trails E and 6 are groomed and tracked and 7 should be completed by days end.
GROOMING PLANS: THURSDAY, FRIDAY and WEEKEND
Today’s afternoon message from groomers confirms that:
Groomers will be grooming for 2-3 hours tomorrow and will do so again on Friday providing conditions are favourable. We understand they will be grooming E and 1 and will not be setting tracks.
Based on the weather forecast, they will not be grooming on Saturday or Sunday.
Thanks for sharing your comments here so other skiers can plan their spring skiing outings.
TUESDAY UPDATE - PLANS TO GROOM TOMORROW
Groomers at Killarney are planning to groom tomorrow with the Ginzu and will focus on E and #1.
They are hopeful to get out on the trails again on Friday.
MONDAY UPDATE - GROOMING PAUSED, DAY BY DAY ASSESSMENT
As you may expect, with yesterday’s weather and today’s temperatures above zero, City groomers will not be out on the trails.
This week’s weather predictions are not looking that great and so the team will make grooming decisions based on the amount of snow pack available and weather.
We share your ski frustration and hope to have better news to report soon.
THURSDAY UPDATE

Have a good ski!
