From the days when signs were made by hand and people crashed a lot. @parcnakkertokvdm

1983 was the year the Gatineau 55 was first held in Gatineau Park. For this year's virtual @gatineauloppet we skied the course from that year. People must have been HARD in those days! #outaouaisfun @ Gatineau Park

Take the day off. @ncc_ccn #outaouaisfun

If you want to see more frequent grooming on the Rideau Winter Trail, consider supporting their Funding Campaign!

There are close to 100 km of groomed winter trails in Ottawa thanks to the Urban Winter Trails Alliance/Alliance des sentiers hivernaux urbains: SJAM Winter T...rail , Ottawa West Winter Trail / Sentier d'Hiver de l'Ouest d'Ottawa, Britannia Winter Trail, Rideau Winter Trail, Ski Heritage East, and the Orleans Ski Club. To ensure we can all continue to enjoy our time on these trails: Follow signage and public health directives Learn the rules and #ShareTheTrail; be careful and avoid the ski tracks Parking lots can fill up quickly, always have a Plan B Visit at off-peak times, like weekdays Be courteous and respectful of all users More about the groomed multi-use winter trail network: https://ncc-ccn.gc.ca/plac/groomed-multi-use-winter-trails : cody_emm /ig

Presenting the Rideau Winter Trail - 9 kms of free recreational trail for skate and classic cross country skiing, snowshoeing, fat biking and walking. Orange i...ndicates a pavement base, ideal for all users. Blue indicates a grass base, less favourable for fat biking and walking. Access points are also marked on the map. Now we just need some more snow! See more

Good news! This year six of Ottawa's Urban Winter trail groups have banded together to create the Urban Winter Trails Alliance (UWTA), providing a focus for the planning and funding of multi-use winter trails in the National Capital Region.

We may be skiing very soon - thanks to snowmaking at Nakkertok Nordic!
