Mooney's Bay Ski Area
Trails Skied: Stadium, Skate Loop, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
I have not skied at Mooney's Bay in years, but was really pleasantly surprised on my outing today--it was fantastic.
Grooming is awesome, snow was fast, all in all, a great little ski (lesson, actually).
for the classic skier, this is a super spot to work on technique as well as actually ski. The Classic tracks looked to be in excellent condition.
I highly recommend this gem in almost the middle of our city.
Mooney's Bay offers skiing inside the Ottawa city limits! There are 5.5 km of groomed trails for classic and skate with some portions lit at night. Perfect for after work. Perfect for the entire family. To view course offerings: Ottawa 2021/2022 Recreation Registration Page.
