Another snowfall, another groom! Most of #skiheritageeast has been done today, Tweedle Rd to Hillsdale.

Snow drifts tamed and tracks set, Green's Creek to P5. It's cold, but still quite a few skiers, walkers, runners, and fat bikes out this afternoon!

Our new (to us) #HappyTrails groomer did a great job on the drifts!

Morning grooming with Emma from @ncc-ccn.gc.ca Beautiful snow conditions, chilly temps!!! #SkiHeritageEast

A chilly and windy night for a groom, but we got most of it done! Tweedle to Hillsdale is in great shape, some will have blown in by morning but we're sure you'll find it and use it :-) #SkiHeritageEast

About 19cm of fresh snow at the start of last night's groom (measured by the car underbody drag marks..), and more coming! More grooming today, tonight, and through the weekend! Get out and enjoy!

Most of #SkiHeritageEast has been groomed today, with more grooming and track setting in the east this evening. Temps are dropping, conditions are good!

Most of #SkiHeritageEast has been groomed tonight for your morning ski! We'll be out again likely Wednesday am with new snow. Wolves or Coyotes (big!) on the river, deer on the trail, near p27.

Ski Heritage East center skate track has been groomed west of Radisson. Beautiful day, and a balmy -18c. Lots of skiers out braving the cold!

Full groom today, end to end. West side stops at Hillsdale at the moment, sand on the trail and construction west towards the River House. Nice firm conditions, classic is thin in places but good overall. Skate should remain smooth even with foot/bike traffic. #SkiHeritageEast

Full Ski Heritage East groom underway! We've made it from Trim to P5 and are working our way back east with the ice tiller. It's windy out there! #skiheritageeast

We're back! Ready for another great season!

Most of #SkiHeritageEast has been groomed tonight from Tweedle Rd to P5. Conditions will be good for your Saturday ski!

Construction wraps up at the NCC River House late Dec, beware of a plowed trail there for the time being.

The National Capital Commission has asked us to postpone snow grooming until mid-December. Today's snowfall is a positive sign of good things to come.

It's almost time! Not quite enough snow to groom the trails, but enough to demo the equipment to some Stittsville based volunteers looking to expand Ottawa's Urban Winter Trails network. Hoping for enough snow in ~2 weeks to begin grooming!

Thanks to all our sponsors, donors, supporters & users for another great season! Special thanks to the City of Ottawa and NCC for trail access & behind-the-scenes assistance! We can't compete with #spring, so we're wrapping up grooming for the season. See you next season!

West end of @SkiHeritageEast groomed! Skate from p27 to the @ncc_ccn River House, classic from Raddison to Blair, including the Canotek access. Enjoy it while it lasts!! Coyote spotted at the @avspacemuseum
March 15, 2025 at 5:25 PM
You don't need your rock skis yet, but you might want shorts this afternoon! Final? groom of @skiheritageeast underway. Skate only, Greens/p27 to @ncc_ccn River House

AI shortened msg from the @skiheritageeast treasurer:

Great news! We've hit our $10K goal and bought a used #Skidoo Skandic 900 Ace. After mods, we’ve almost covered the $12K total. Thanks for your support! Still time to donate if you can. #ThankYou

The west end of @skiheritageeast was groomed this evening from p27 to the @ncc_ccn River House. The p27 loop is 80% nice, classic & skate set well. West of there, skate was improved, a little, & classic was too hard to set. Use it while it lasts! Still 20-50cm packed base!
March 14, 2025 at 12:00 AM
Almost the whole @skiheritageeast trail has been groomed today, from Tweedle Rd to the @ncc_ccn River House. Conditions are good overall, with some short icy bits. The drifts have been tamed in the west, but it's single track along the water near p27/Green's Creek.

Groomer Andy was out this evening, east end done from Green's Creek to Tweedle Rd. Decent conditions despite the rain/freeze. More grooming tomorrow! @skiheritageeast #skiheritageeast

The Ski Heritage East Trail is closed near Ogilvie road, including the P7 parking lot. For the next few days, the best conditions will be between Shefford and Tweedle, we'll get back to the west end when conditions and weather permit.
March 3, 2025 at 9:39 PM
Ski Heritage East has been groomed from end to end. Skate and classic. Conditions are soft, and windy! Bonus points if you can find the track everywhere ;)

Groomer Andy was out this evening and cleaned up the @skiheritageeast skate track from Tweedle Rd to Green's Creek. The weather forecast looks good for grooming and skiing the next few days, should be great for the weekend!
