Ski trail maintenance is expensive! Please remember to signup for a membership with Wostawea here. Membership fees are vital to allow the club to groom and maintain the ski trails. Thanks!

The plan is to roll the trails early this afternoon. Grooming and track-setting will wait until tomorrow so the surface can set up overnight. At least there isn't any more snow in the forecast.
I have been wondering if the groomers are getting tired, they have had very little rest between snowfalls. and this is volunteer time they are putting in. Do they get in a few hours skiing? How much longer will you be able to groom and trackset? A huge thank-you., The city groomers are also doing a great job at Killarney.
Completely agree with Margaret. I am a new member and really admire the dedication of the groomers. Hope they are finding time to enjoy the trails!! Killarney was delightful on Monday:)
A few of us are planning to ski from Kingswood at 5:30 tonight. If we start at the banner and stay along the highway heading for the Woodlot would there be open stretches requiring ski removal?
The groomers deserve a medal...thanks so much for the dedication!

Deletehi,is this for skate as well? Itching to get out
DeleteYou won't need to remove your skis on the main trail.
ReplyDeleteSo, no skate skiing today?
ReplyDeleteThe day that fresh snow is rolled means pretty soft conditions for skating (need to let it set overnight).
DeleteYup, thanks guys! It must have been non-stop work this to keep ahead of the snow this year.
ReplyDeleteI am visiting Fredericton in 10 days and am wondering where I can rent cross country ski equipment for adults and a 7 year old? Just for a day or two?
