Green Belt
Trails Skied: 44, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: -7 to -15
CLASSIC: Good conditions on solid skied-in tracks. The new snow is covering the tracks quickly but there were enough people out today to keep things clean. There are no bare spots but the poles do hit ground though through a solid base.
TRAFFIC: There were 4 or 5 cars in the lot at 1:45 and we met up with 2 or 3 groups.
WEATHER: Really comfortable with no wind evident in the woods.
The National Capital Greenbelt has over 100km of trails and another 25km of recreational pathways, most of which are suitable for cross-country skiing in the wintertime. All of the trails are suitable for beginner and family outings. Some are now maintained by volunteer groomers; OWWT, BWT, SHE, Kichi Sibi.
