MacKenzie XC Ski Trail

UPDATED 12/12/24:

We gave grooming a shot today and had to turn around because we were doing more harm than good. Once this snow settles into base and if we get another dump next week we’ll give it another pull. Trail conditions are great if you like breaking trail. Not so much if you are expecting to glide. Please excuse the mess of groomer tracks near the 38 Rd. trailhead! Learn more about the MacKenzie Trail here.

LAKES ARE NOT SAFE!

Latest Update

All of the snow on Lakes Cadillac & Mitchell is gone. Areas that had snow cover converted to slush and then to white ice. As long as we don't get any major snowfall, we should be making ice over the next few days. Everybody stay safe! Learn more at Pilgrim Village Fishing Shop!
