Trail Conditions

March 17, 2026

St. Patrick's Day brought us some snow at Northgate, but our volunteers were out as soon as it settled and did a quick pass on Edwards Connector, and the 5 km (Parkline, Gatehouse, Ol'Chap) and long loop (Parkline, Gatehouse, Sunday Drive, Bobsled, Dirt Nap, Gaylene's Garden, Jim's Ridgeline). Trail reports indicate "powdery" conditions but with the warm weather forcasted later on this week it might be "good enough" for a couple of rides before the melt begins.

Please note that Northgate is maintained and operated completely by volunteers, so please consider making a donation if you are able. Every cent counts!

Get out and ride or snowshoe this week.

Trails are in great late winter condition. Northgate didn't get much snow this week, so get out and enjoy these last few weeks of winter riding. We are looking forward to spring and the MTB season, but don't put that Fattie away too soon. Get out and ride!

Northgate received about 5 cm of snow over the last couple of days. Trail conditions are generally good, grooming will occur over the next day or two to pack any residual snow. Weather forecast for the upcoming week is variable and includes above 0 temperatures and possibility of showers, so take advantage of current trail conditions while they last.
