End of season interview with Maggie Glossop, da bear lady. #ForestTherapy #MyOttawa

Grooming resumes this morning once it warms up a bit. Onsite now and feeling hopeful the snow can be worked and made nice. Our snow base is still healthy. It is the gift that keeps on giving. Remic Rapids and KWoods sectors only. (Likely the last call)

I love the Russian people. That is why I have to tell you the truth. Please watch and share.

Thx to Madawaska Kanu Centre for covering the cost of GPS Snow Grooming Software called Nordic Pulse Inc for all Urban Winter Pathways. As we grow, having tools to manage our trail networks is key. Ottawa West Winter Trail RideauWinterTrail SkiHeritage.East SkiONSC Britannia Winter Trail

So sad. The last group (which one is Maggie the Bear Lady ?) of the season to use the Remic Bistro area of the ⁦Kichi Sibi Winter Trail⁩ before Christmas trees are coming down.

The Christmas Trees on the ⁦Kichi Sibi Winter Trail⁩ at the Remic Bistro are coming down. They will be chipped and used on the trail to cover rocks and obstacles. How is that for use, re-use and recycle?

Spring is on its way, which means the community-maintained winter trails are starting to shut down for the season. 🥲 Still grooming: ✔️Ottawa West Winter Trail ✔️RideauWinterTrail Finished grooming: ❌SkiONSC ❌Britannia Winter Trail ❌Kichi Sibi Winter Trail ❌SkiHeritage.East #Ottawa #WinterCapital

More Behind-The-Scenes stories from the KTrail. #Volunteer GroomerPeter explains snow fencing. Kinda like 'gaming the system' by using the wind to blow it off the ice an onto the trail. Without it, some key areas could very well be bare. Groomer Pete to the rescue!

A groomers job is never finished on the ⁦Kichi Sibi Winter Trail⁩ Beauty day for it though. Only one skier out - in shorts of course.

Thanks for the Christmas trees. We put them to good use. They are now chipped and on the trail at Remic Rapids covering rocky areas.

Whoohoo. Almost all the snow fence is down. Thanks to Marg and Ken, stalwart volunteers on the KSWT

So 45 minutes ago, Pierre Poilievre tweeted against Trudeau & carbon pricing. And has tweeted...absolutely nothing calling out the attack on Chrystia Freeland, a colleague in the House of Commons. It's beyond appalling. Conservative friends - I suggest you get on this fast.

Poilievre has not denounced the attack on Chrystia Freeland. And here’s why. Here’s a photo of Pierre Poilievre with Elliot McDavid. I might remind people too, that Chrystia Freeland and Justin Trudeau are Poilievre 2 biggest threats in the long term. This is no coincidence.

Our snow scoops never rest rest on the Kichi Sibi Winter Trail. Remic plains is going to be amazing this winter. Thanks to today’s crew - Kris, David and Peter

Hey Snow Bear fans, look what showed up in Kitchissippi Woods. Burr Bears and they are snacking on Wild Rose Hips. Thanks Maggie.

Taking a break with my new pal Burr Bear #5. Maggie, the Bear Lady, and I are getting the snow fence ready to put up. It’s coming😬. Ready?

Maggie, the Bear Lady, collecting burrs and making Burr Bear #6

Burr Bear #6 getting a scolding about stealing the Chickadee food.

Be patient skiers. With chips covering the Remic Woods trail you will be able to ski as soon as the first snow flys. Today Long helped spread 4 big piles of chips.
