Green Belt

Trails Skied: 10, Glide Wax: would sure help, Grip Wax:

It's a 5-flake day out there in the western greenbelt! No pedestrian traffic yet on #10, nice skier-made tracks, no icy patches any more. I'm too lazy to wax though so my skis were sticking in places in the warming temperatures, although my husband (also waxless) had no trouble. I'd recommend waxing, and conditions today are nice enough to make it worth it.

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.
