It was a great morning to get out with a bit of fresh snowfall! Thanks to everyone who joined the BBQ and ski return!

Grooming is now done for the season and construction will begin on Monday. The road (mainline) will be plowed so access to trails will only be on foot and access may be restricted due to construction. Please obey construction and closure signs. Cars will not be allowed beyond the lower gate in the day use parking lot by the hatchery. We do not know the expected construction completion date.

Rainbow trail (first on the right to the lake) will still be accessible by foot. If you want to sneak in another ski from the main parking lot get it in this weekend before construction starts!!

Well we got a little snow refresh ❄️ yay!!! Let the skiing continue a little longer 🤞

Join us next Saturday April 1 anytime between 11am and 2pm to return your skis and/or just join us for the end of season BBQ! You may be able to sneak a last ski in if we are lucky!! Right next to main parking lot at Allison Chinook.

It is truly spring skiing with a lot of ice and slush however if you snowshoe or brave your way on skis to views in the sunshine you most likely won’t regret it. If you do ski just remember what goes up must come down 😬

Need to recharge? We have some amazing bench view

Need to recharge? We have some amazing bench views for you to enjoy! Come on out, conditions are fantastic today with a light dusting of fresh snow over fresh grooming from the last snowfall ❄️ It’s a sparkling, sunny snow kind of day!

Trails are in A-moosing conditions right now with a new dump of snow as we speak! There is a moose with 2 calves that have been around both campsite loops and up and around mill trail so be sure to make some noise and give them the space they need! Also watch for a few sections where the moose tracks have broke up the ski tracks quite a bit.

With the fresh snow and the temperature looking like it will come up a bit it should be a fantastic weekend to get out and enjoy! ❄️

Congrats to our very own volunteer extraordinaire

Congrats to our very own volunteer extraordinaire Larry Hennig! Larry was instrumental in bringing a new standard of grooming and trail maintenance, and he did so in a collaborative manner, a task not easily accomplished for a team comfortable in their ways! In his 6 years in the board of the club he has researched and recommended the purchase of all equipment for grooming and maintenance of the trails, widening the trails, equipment that improve the efficiency of the grooming process, or where we can get the best bang for the buck for equipment and it’s maintenance and repair. One day he spent almost all day on the phone trying to find a replacement fuel tank for our 2012 sled!

Larry’s ability to work well with other’s has enabled him to put together a team of people that will groom trails and/or repair sleds and other grooming equipment in the winter and do maintenance on the trails in the summer.

This is for the volunteer of the year, however Larry should likely have been nominated for this award for 7 years!! His dedication to the club and support for non-motorized recreation of all ages is something that is truly to be commended.

Thank you for all you have done and do Larry ⭐️

It was a super fun day today with our Jackrabbits and Bunnies as we finished up our last lesson. We saved some time for a 50m sprint and an obstacle course at the end! Many thanks to all the parents, participants and coaches for a great season!! We really enjoyed seeing everyone’s progress and look forward to meeting again at the year end wrap up/gear return 😊

After a pretty good snowfall this week trails were mostly groomed and still being groomed as I left late afternoon and in amazing condition. With the weather forecast this weekend I feel like there will be some prime conditions and big smiles out there!

Although the first hill up mainline is still icy, beyond that trails are in fantastic condition for the most part after 7-10cm on upper trails a couple days ago!! I feel like many are the best they have been all season. Let’s hope it doesn’t get too warm for a while and we can enjoy this !!!🤞🤞🏿🤞🏽

Yay our snow dances are starting to work and we go

Yay our snow dances are starting to work and we got a bit of snow!!

With this little bit of snow we ask that you PLEASE follow these signs and keep all multi use to the side and not down the middle which is groomed for skate skiing as well as whenever Classic skiers need or want to come out of the track. It can get dangerous for skiers to be skiing on groomed area with deep foot punctures. This privilege is reserved for wild life only.

Moose ✅
Humans not on skis ❌

The groomers have done an amazing job keeping a track with scant amounts of snow the last few weeks so keep doing the snow dances and hopefully we will get some more snow! There are still icy areas especially the first hill up mainline and the hill down to the lake on mainline so use caution. Layer up if you are head out to enjoy the trails this weekend, it sounds like it could be crisp ❄️

Despite some dicey sections our bunnies and jackra

Despite some dicey sections our bunnies and jackrabbits were out yesterday in the beautiful sunshine playing games, having snacks in the trees and of course, getting more confident on their ski’s!
