Stuart Lake Nordic Society

Stuart Lake Nordic Society Our club is tiny! We are your link to cross-country skiing at Murray Ridge and along the lake shore. We aim to groom Wednesdays and Saturday mornings.

But our goal is big: to bring inexpensive (or free) access to Nordic sports, such as crosscountry skiing, snowshoeing, speed skating, kicksledding, and nordic walking. Please share this page and come here for grooming updates.

Beautiful spring skiing at the Murray Ridge Nordic Trails. Come out and get a tan@!

Still wonderful skiing out at the trails thanks to Jim!
On your way up you will come past a fancy new log loader ‘forwarder’. Just be patient if the operator doesn’t see you and stops the machine; wait it out and enjoy watching. Don’t pass unless you are sure they know you are there and the machine is not moving!

There is a skiff of snow on the crust, but not enough to set a new track. I tried but turned around as it was only messing up the old track.
Still very beautiful up here, already blue sky!
Skate skiing should be good!
classic ok, just a shallow track.

Jim just started grooming and said it’s beautiful up at Murray Ridge! He asked to post this asap so people have time to plan to enjoy a ski this afternoon, especially with the longer light.. for now he is planning to groom the Beaver and Lynx trail, so he has time left to enjoy a ski himself!
This pic shows him doing a pass down the middle skate lane first, followed by an overlapping pass with the track setter down on the right, and left, for a total of three passes. That way the middle should be better packed for skate skiing. Much appreciated Jim👍

I packed and tracked all trails this afternoon.
A big thank you to Keith Gordon for clearing the spruce on the Beaver.

The Lynx and the northern arm and connector of the Beaver have been double tracked.
There has been quite a bit of blowdown to clean up. The south arm of the Beaver is blocked by a large spruce; we no chainsaw, no amount of sweat and cursing would allow me to clear a path. Hopefully, we can clean it in next couple of days. Enjoy,
-Jim
