Welcome to the start of the 2023/24 X-C ski season on SkierRoger.ca !

So great to see the first dump of snow. Let's hope for some more to follow soon…

For those not familiar with this website, below is a quick summary:

It's a fun site geared towards the cross-country skiing community. Once you’ve registered, feel free to post reports of your skis adventures or ask any related questions. I know you will find the XC skiing community to be very supportive.

I encourage you to upload pictures to your trip reports (or attach video links, etc). Also, tell us about where you skied, what you saw and experienced. It’s very helpful to inform others about the snow conditions, wax that did or didn’t work, etc.

In addition, feel free to comment on other reports, but most importantly, enjoy and have fun!

A number of resources are offered for your use, including maps of ski areas, weather reports, web camera links, etc. The Live Grooming Reports and Trail Report links are particularly helpful for those wishing to know what trails have been recently groomed and their condition. Most important though is to read other skier’s trip reports. Nothing is better than receiving DIRECT feedback from someone who has just been out there.

For the novice skiers, I would encourage you to check out Ray’s Trail Steepness and Risto’s Hill Pain Score reports, which are available under the Resources section of this website. These provide expert advice on which trails are more challenging (links provided below).

Please enjoy the site and have a wonderful ski season.
See you out there!
