Trail Reports
The Saskatoon Nordic Ski Club grooms a number of areas: Eb’s Trails north of town, Wildwood Golf Course, Gordie Howe Sports Complex, and Holiday Park Golf Course.
We also work in partnership with the City of Saskatoon and Saskatchewan Parks to manage and groom Kinsmen Park, Blackstrap Provincial Park, and a number of neighbourhood parks.
Eb’s Trails
Eb’s Trails offer an extraordinary cross-country ski experience with 52 kilometres of groomed ski trails winding through rolling forested terrain. The trail system is varied, allowing skiers of all ages and abilities to have a wonderful experience. The trails are located about an hour’s drive north of Saskatoon, just north of Duck Lake on Highway 11 to Prince Albert. They are accessible by two entrances on the west side of the highway, approximately two kilometres apart. Both entrances have parking, a warm-up hut and toilet facilities.
Eb’s Trails are only for classic skiing, and no dogs are allowed. Trail maintenance and upkeep of the trail system are performed by volunteers from the Saskatoon Nordic Ski Club, so please help to keep these trails in shape for all.
