Green Belt
Trails Skied: ONSC Trails, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
Pine Grove was groomed and track set on Wednesday Jan. 31. Those trails west of the parking lot trailhead seemed quite good. Snow is soft but alternate users are respectful of tracks and permissive signage is having a positive effect.. small signs 10 x10 show graphically where you CAN walk or ski.
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.
