Canmore Park - teaching area was groomed and set last night. Coverage is good. Confed - snow farming was completed on the perimeter of the driving range last night, and skate lane and classic tracks were reset. The flat teaching area of the driving range was also groomed.

All trails were packed mid day yesterday, including Canmore Park.  Last evening the outside of the driving range and the orange, green and blue loops were groomed.  No track setting was done as there generally isn’t enough snow pack.  The new snow has improved conditions, but many thin spots remain.

Our amazing volunteer snow farming and grooming teams have been working their magic in what little snow we have left! The grooming we've been able to do for ski programs in Canmore Park has held up over the past week - we'll likely wait until the weather cools down again after Monday until we do … Continue reading Confed/Canmore Park update – January 13, 2019

Probably doesn't need saying, but Confed did not fair well with the Chinook this week.  The trails are not skiable until we get more snow.  Parts of the driving range are ok, but there are many bare spots and the entrance is quite bare and icy. The parking lot and entrances to the driving range … Continue reading Confed update – January 5, 2019

All of the driving range was groomed and track set last night. The purple and green trails were groomed for skating. The blue trail was groomed for skating, and a classic track was also set. There are still quite a few spots where grass is poking through, especially on the green and purple trails. Coverage … Continue reading Confed grooming update – Dec 31, 2018

Purple, green, and yellow trails were groomed last night - no tracksetting, as there is not enough snow. Please use caution if you ski the blue trail, it has been heavily trampled by folks out to see the Christmas lights. The rest of the trails had some holes from people walking on them as well, … Continue reading Confed grooming update – December 27

Thanks to some work over the last few days by a small but mighty snow farming crew, the Yellow and Purple trails were groomed and partially trackset last night.  Sections that have had snow added have great coverage, with others areas being thin in places. Our snow-making crew is looking for some additional volunteers to … Continue reading Confed – some trails groomed – December 19, 2018

The weather outside is frightful... if you're a skier at least! Given the warm weather and lack of new snow in the forecast, our grooming crew will be focusing all efforts on the driving range until we have more snow. The green, blue and orange trails are in poor condition. The purple loop still has … Continue reading Confed grooming update – December 17, 2018

The purple and yellow trails were groomed last night, with one track set in each. Watch for thin spots in the area between the driving range and the pedestrian gate off Constable Road. Volunteers will be out again tonight, shovelling snow on to the trails from adjacent areas to improve/protect the trail snow base. If … Continue reading Confed – east trails groomed – December 11, 2018

The green loop at Confed was groomed this morning, and Canmore Park has been groomed and trackset. We are hoping to open the parking lot soon, please be patient as volunteers finish setting things up for the season. Happy trails!
