We’ve been incredibly fortunate to have had a long season with our last groom being on Mar 22nd.
A huge shout-out to one of our key sponsors, the Crystal Beach Lakeview Community Association. Thank-you for coming on board again this 2025-26 season with some funding that will help us continue to bring you the OWWT next season and beyond.

Nous avons eu l'immense chance de connaître une longue saison, notre dernier entretien des pistes ayant eu lieu le 22 mars.
Un grand merci à l'un de nos principaux commanditaires, l'association communautaire de Crystal Beach Lakeview. Merci de nous avoir à nouveau soutenus pour cette saison 2025-2026 grâce à une aide financière qui nous permettra de continuer avec le SHOO dans la saison prochaine et au-delà.

As KSWT says..
Please fill in the survey.
Thanks!
(PS if you’d like a new organization to extend the trail in Bells Corners, please tell the NCC as we’re all tapped out with our current territory)

Comme le dit KSWT…
Merci de bien vouloir répondre à ce sondage.
Merci !
(P.S. : si vous souhaitez qu’une nouvelle association prolonge le sentier à Bells Corners, veuillez en informer la CCN, car nous avons déjà atteint nos limites sur notre territoire actuel)

K-Trail, and every other multi-use urban winter pathways across the city are NOT the National Capital Commission but we are important and essential partners. We could not operate our respective trails without their blessing, partnership, support, financial contribution and encouragement.

Tell them what you think about urban winter pathways here: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17tPgyoZgi

Survey closes this week.

Mother nature keeps on giving and our OWWT groomers keep on grooming. Still great coverage, a few exposed sections getting down to pavement but passable on skiis via shoulder
Get it while you can. - - Cyclist Sam

Groomed and reset tracks where possible in the core from March to Moodie (Watts Creek). Thanks to Groomer Kurt for giving Rifle road and Christmas loop a pass as well. Conditions are thin but quite skiable, especially for skate.
Enjoy! -Groomer Tom
