The team has groomed all trails tonight, in addition to starting to maneuver the man made “snow whales” into Nordic ski trails.

Capilano: skate lanes freshly groomed with the fresh natural snow skier tracked into the machine set classic tracks.

Goldbar: all skate lanes freshly groomed with the fresh natural snow skier tracked into the machine set classic tracks. The Northshore area is the thinnest area – caution advised with some possible icy areas where the snow is windswept. 

Goldstick:  all skate lanes freshly groomed with the fresh natural snow skier tracked into the machine set classic tracks where we were able to make them. Classic skiing skier tracked only on the switchbacks and the south loop.

Snowmaking: note the team has made snow in 3 locations: in the stadium area just south of the Goldbar Pavilion, at the top of retaining wall hill heading west on the Hadhirgaan, and on the two-way trails that parallels Goldbar Park Road just across from the City Parks Compound. The team will be removing the snow-guns as the temperatures rise. The “humps” of snow will stay in place to “cure”. Watch for the team working the humps into flat ski trails late this afternoon/evening. In the meantime, caution advised around the humps. Recommend skiing Goldstick/woodcutters and/or Capilano.

Happy Trails from your Edmonton Nordic Grooming Team
