Mar. 18, 2022 Trails/Grooming

We are into spring skiing mode now:  expect icy/hard/fast mornings, look for a possible sweet spot of the trails softening to ideal spring conditions as the temperatures bridge onto the plus side, then slushy/wet conditions once temperatures are above about 5C, especially in sun exposed areas, with ice forming in melted areas, particularly in the shade and when temperatures start to cool in the late afternoon and evening.  

Overall, faster/harder trails with some ice and glazing.  Downhills and uphills icy.  Use caution. 

Goldbar:  No grooming last night.  Look for the sweet spot of timing your ski, as the sun reaches the trails and they soften somewhat. 

Capilano:  No grooming last night.  Look for the sweet spot of timing your ski, as the sun reaches the trails and they soften somewhat. 

Goldstick: Significant ice flows and icy trails. Not recommended. 

Southloop: Significant ice flows and icy trails. Not recommended. 

Happy trails from your Edmonton Nordic Grooming Team
