Hi there,
Now that spring has officially sprung, the snow has melted, and we’ve said goodbye to winter, our WinterPeg project has come to a close. We want to thank everyone who used the ski trails, who came out to our FREE Mobile Ski Library, who donated skis, and who volunteered with us. YOU are the reason this was such a success this winter! We cannot wait for the snow to fall so we can do it all over again. We look forward to seeing you back out on the ski trails!

How To
Don’t worry. Skiing isn’t hard. You’ll get the hang of it. Few of us make the Olympics, and many of us learn to fall semi-gracefully. Have fun. 😉
If you’re the type that likes to do their homework or needs a little inspiration, here is a goofy video with a 90s techno soundtrack of little children in Finland learning to race and ski.

More Ski Info
Did you know? Lots of organizations in Winnipeg maintain ski trails.
For information on big established ski trails both inside and outside Winnipeg, visit the CCSAM website where an active community of skiers provide regular updates. CCSAM is also responsible for the Winsdor Park Nordic centre with top notch conditions and night skiing that is well worth the fee. If you enjoy the trails at Wildwood, be sure to read up on how they get made and support their work.
Assiniboine Park Conservancy operates the trails in Assiniboine park and they are groomed by Nordic X adventures. Learn more about their Jackrabbits program for kids. Programming has been affected by COVID 19 restrictions, but go here for the latest updates.
Riverview CC runs a Jackrabbits program and maintains nearby ski trails.
Bourkevale CC sets a fantastic track on the Assiniboine.
Many of Winnipeg’s school divisions also organize small groomed loops which will be added to this map as they become available. The Forks often sets track along the River Trail, with plenty available this year.
Of course, Winnipeg Trails has added more than 30 new trails with the help of the City of Winnipeg so that all of Winnipeg can try skiing!
Are we missing anything? Let us know! If you’d like more info on the project, reach out to the organizers of this website using any of Winnipeg Trails’ social media or by email.
