We are located between Pembroke and Petawawa, Ontario at the end of Forest Lea Road. (5km south of Trans Canada Hwy 17) Plus we offer Ski School, Youth Race Team, Social Events, New for 2019-2020 1.5km Lit Ski Trail for Night Skiing. Fat Biking on Snowshoe Trails Only.
You may have noticed that last year, PAXC had the privilege of prepping and grooming the ski trails with some brand new equipment, thanks to a 2024 Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF)'s grant of $56,100. The goals behind the purchases supported by this grant were to maximize ski trial utilization, increase participation and foster healthy active lifestyles. Thank you to OTF!
Ski conditions are still very good. Below zero trails will be hard and fast; above zero will be soft and slow. Good coverage everywhere still. The classic track has melted out but skating is excellent when the temps are just above zero.
Trails are in fair condition. The red, blue, orange and green plus inner loops have had some grooming for skating today. Classic tracks were set earlier in the week and are still in good to fair condition. There is the odd rock to avoid and some bumps but similar conditions to most of last season.
Red, orange, blue and green plus 400m trails have been trackset for classic. Trails are also being rolled for skating.
Most trails were packed Monday evening with more grooming planned Tuesday morning. Trails will still be bumpy but conditions are improving.
Most of the main trails have been packed. There is still the odd rock showing and some wet spots but we're ahead of last season.
No classic track yet until we get a bit more snow but the skiing is passable.
