2026 January 24 * 7:00am
Current temperature is -11.7 degrees with no new snow overnight. The Piston Bully went out around 5:30 and has covered the south and central trails. You can see the progress on Nordic Pulse this morning. The parking lot has been sanded but please continue to be cautious when wearing ski boots.
Please check for current grooming on Nordic Pulse by clicking on Grooming Report.
The roads crews have not been up yet this morning. The road is good condition with some pot holes. Please remember to take the Grandview Bench turn onto Edgar Road slowly and carefully.
If you have anything to report, send an email to trailreport@skilarchhills.ca
Snowshoe Trails
2026 January 11. The trails are ready for the snowshoeing fans.
Bilbo’s bog has a bit of open water, but easy to safely get by. Lots of deep snow even in the tree lines, snowing today but still very enjoyable.
It is recommended that you carry a map or download the Larch Hills Trail maps onto Avenza to be able to track your progress.
Our snow shoe trails are “User Maintained.” Please carry garden clippers and/or a folding saw and help us keep our trails clear of anything that is impeding progress or may get in someone’s face.
Report anything you can not deal with to trailreport@skilarchhills.ca.
Our trails are not patrolled. If you are unable to return to the Chalet on your own, you may have a long wait for help. Be prepared to look after yourself (extra food, clothing, fire starter, and water).
For more snowshoe trail information visit our Snowshoe page.
Non-Groomed Trails and Backcountry
2026 January 13
Reasonable conditions today (Tuesday) with the beginning of a crust. If it freezes overnight there will be a slick crust tomorrow. Use caution on hills and avoid the trails where the trucks have been (see below)
Carrying a saw recommended.
There have been trucks on some of the trails. A large truck went up Caribou Memory and to the summit. Also, a truck has been up Lower Edgar/Far East/Moonwalk as far as the junction with Clear-cut Connection.
If you find anything that needs attention please report it: trailreport@skilarchhills.ca or trailreport@shuswaptrails.com.
