Green Belt
Trails Skied: 51, 52, Glide Wax: universal, Grip Wax: green
Skiing has returned to the main trail at P20, Anderson Road. My report last week indicated some sort of work going on at the trail head leading into the forest that was disrupting skiing. That appears to have stopped for now but a large construction waste bin is still near the parking lot. There are now good deep skier made tracks on both sides of the trails covering the entire circuit of the 51 and 52. Very cold, but sunny with minimal wind. Dress in layers, enjoy!

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.
ONSC grooms The Hornet's Nest (Tauvette street to Montreal Rd), Mer Bleue and Pine Grove Forest (the section off Leitrum Rd). Trails are classic skiing ONLY, no skating is allowed on these trails. The Hornet's Nest is groomed at least weekly and the others as time permits. Updated trail conditions are available at the snow phone; 613-837-SNOW.
