Likely this coming weekend. They will be spread by volunteers. Want to help? Saturday is the day of the work party. Bring rake.

Final post of the 2025/26 Season.

K-Trail, and every other multi-use urban winter pathways across the city are NOT the National Capital Commission but we are important and essential partners. We could not operate without them.

Just like having very supportive parents, Nakkertok Nordic has helped and mentored K-Trail from the very early days and continues to do so today. From LENDING equipment, helping FIX equipment, to cheering from the sidelines; the club has always been there to support. Thank you

And now a word from our board of directors!

More thank-Us are in order to close out the season. This time our bronze sponsors, who do what they can to contribute and be a part of our community. The Grand Maker House Co. Continuum Fitness and Movement Performance Westboro Community Association Ruppert McCarthy

Snowmobiles are classified as RECREATIONAL vehicles, yet snow grooming pushes them into the realm of an INDUSTRIAL application. Maintaining the trail is hard on equipment.
Although, not a sponsor; a big shout out to Motorsportsworld Ottawa for their support. We are just not a regular customer!

Time to put away the snow grooming equipment. (But still more social media coming your way before we are truly done.) Stay tuned.

Kinda handy having one of your sponsors being a multi-disciplinary performance clinic that offers coaching and therapy to help you move better and feel better.

Have you ever considered just how many people live in walking distance of the trail? There are apartment buildings as far as the eye can see! And some of those buildings are managed by Osgoode Properties Ltd ,a proud supporter of the trail.

Grooming done for the day. Consider it a bonus. No snow in tonight’s forecast nor is there anything on Saturday, which means grooming unlikely tomorrow but never say never to this winter. Everything is day by day.

We always say “it takes a village to raise a trail”. Well part of that village is the Westboro Business Improvement Association (BIA) - a proud silver sponsor. Thank You Judy, staff and members. Together we are stronger.

After pulling old ski equipment out of the garage, rediscovering how great the sport is on local urban trails, but now wanting more; you are in luck. Lots of amazing skiing in Gatineau Park and @Nakkertok Nordic. They will have snow for a while yet.

As the winter comes to an end, it is important to do a shout-out of appreciation to Mill St. Brew Pub Ottawa, a long time gold sponsor of the trail. We feel very lucky to have a microbrewery located directly on the trail and it is just one of the many things that make our city wonderful.

Grooming done for the day, if not the season. Lots of users out and was definitely a motivator. Lots more social media coming your way but likely the last grooming report.

Now that the snow has dried over the night, attempting to set classic tracks

Facing the reality that today is potentially the last day of winter conditions, an attempt will be made to salvage something. Grateful to have made it to school March break. All in all, it has been a winter to remember.

Grooming done for the day. Best we could do was roll it. Lots of people out.

It is the lovely people out on the trail that make this job soooooooooooooo worthwhile!

No promises but trying.

Morris Home Team, a long time sponsor of the trail, as well as many other community projects; we thank them for their continued support.

Sound, transparent, and organized financial management are essential characteristics for running a registered charity. Our board of directors is well of control of it, but we also have the backing and incredible support of Meridian Credit Union. Our values match up. Together we are stronger.

As the season winds down, it is important to acknowledge our sponsors. Caldwell Wealth Management Group of RBC Dominion Securities is one of our gold sponsors and they are in the world of personal finance.

Do you value Urban Winter Pathways? Does it make our city a better place?
If you agree, let the National Capital Commission know.

Guest Snow Groomer this week. My interview with Nick Gauthier, manager and head snow groomer of Larose Forest in Prescott Russell. Information sharing is essential in this business!

Current Trail Conditions: admittedly ski conditions are not great but for a hard and uniform surface that is perfect for walking and biking, consider it. One could argue that K-Trail is a safer surface than many street sidewalks today. We are a multi-use trail after all.
