We have a good, solid (albeit icy) base on the trails and will re-open with a small amount of new snow. Forecast looks good this week. Keep up the snow dance. The stadium in front of the Woodfine chalet (as shown on the webcam) is bare but as shown in these photos the trails have a solid, icy base that will allow us to re-open soon

This exchange program is intended to enhance cooperation and awareness between our two regional clubs. Since Haliburton Nordic operates self-serve kiosks at each of their 4 trail systems, please write "KNSC + your name and Member ID" on the self serve registration slip. Enjoy!
Space is still available in the Kawartha Winter Adventure Challenge (KWAC). KWAC is a recreational ski program for experienced skiers aged 13 through 18. Participants have a good base of nordic ski skills that allow them to come together and take part in a ski session that involves a little bit of instruction followed by a social ski tour to various destinations at Kawartha Nordic Ski Club or other Nordic ski sites.
