May 4th:  Grooming finished for the season in PLPP on April 21st. Trails at low elevations are a mix of bare ground and patches of snow and ice.  There is still deep snow on some high elevation trails, but all (or at least mos...

Good Morning! Our final grooming has taken place with marginal conditions to be expected. Fat bike conditions will also be marginal with ice and muddy sections. Be sure to take care when you're out there!

May 4th:  Grooming concluded for the season at Mt Shark on April 18th.  Trails are now a mix of snow covered, ice and expanding bare ground.

Wagon & Owl were groomed this morning for skate skiing, but conditions are poor to fair. The rest of the trails are very icy, with dirt patches and puddles. Rock skis are recommended. Grooming will no longer continue for the rest of the season due to poor conditions. We wi...

Skate lanes groomed this morning. This will be the last grooming of the season. Despite the great base, we're definitely into late season conditions. Classic track is getting pretty icy in spots but skating should still be very good.  Have fun. Ski safe...

April 4th: Yet another bonus groom! With around 10 cm of moist snow falling around Kananaskis Village over the past couple of days, the village trails were groomed and tracked one more time. Conditions are decent but expect the base to melt rapid...

Most trails rolled on Sunday. Grooming will likely continue as conditions allow. 

In the past 24 hrs, approx 12-15 cm of new snow at WBC. The core has been roller packed and grooming will continue tomorrow. see the map for details of roller packing today. Enjoy, while it lasts. 

After getting the biggest snowfall (~30cm) of the year, this week...I groomed the trails. Large snowcat was needing repair so did it with the side by side and roller. Classic track is perfect and skate track is also good.  Ski hill and chalet are closed, but access...

All groomed and set this morning. Looks like a great track.....beginning of park road very poor...use grass to the west. Field trek traverse down big hill is probably unskiable.   Sorry skaters i could free up the groomer so no skate skiing. Looks like we get a great...

Trails have been tracked and groomed on the front 9 only. A trail has also been set for the Jack rabbit skiers near the Tin Cup Restaurant. Trails are in fair to good conditions.

The trails are now closed for the season, we hope you enjoyed this extra long season of skiing. Have a great summer! 

With the warm weather we haven't been able to groom this week.  Normally we stop grooming March 31st,  so it looks like we're done for the season.   There's still lots of snow on upper trails so depending on the day, there may be good skiing for awhi...

Side X side tracks lower valley entered off bear to squirrel then wolf trail up hill to wolf lower trail entry.  These tracks damaged the trail requiring repairs to top of base.  Additional tracks off deer onto upper wolf but not too damaging.

March 18, 2025 Ferguson Hill Road was groomed and trackset today.  Conditions are good with some thin and icy sections. Murray Hill Road, from the intersection with the Ferguson Hill Road to the Golf Course Road, was packed and groomed today.  Condition...

We received 10 to 15 cms of new snow over the past weekend so all trails got groomed today. The thin and slightly icy spots are covered with the newly packed snow. Don't wait to get out as the sun will really start to affect it mining towards the end of the week and the skiing...

Crew was on the trails today packing the recent snow. No tracks set at this time as sticks and leaves were coming to the surface. Still need a little more snow in the treed areas.

As of February 28 2025, we will not be grooming until there is another significant snow fall. 

Conditions are poor on our last remaining loop (Smeltzer) so all trails at the Broadmoor are now officially closed till we get a significant amount of snow.  We still have enough base to reopen, but we would need a large amount to justify opening this late in the season. ...

March 3 update: Get ready for golf season I suppose... Another winter come and gone; thank you to everyone for supporting Shaganappi Nordic Operations  Club's (SNO's) winter trails! If you enjoyed the trails, consider a donation through our website: ...

As expected the warm temps and sun have but melted most of the trails and we have decided to close. The only way we would be able to open again is if we have a dump of snow and some cold temps. Thanks for a great season and if you enjoyed skiing at Confed this year it isn't to...

Trails are soft in the sun, but otherwise wonderful!  Watch out on Cathedral, some hero on a snowmobile has wrecked most of the set track...
