Hello Alberta Clipper! It looks like the storm for the most part went right around the city. Hwy. 1 is closed from Falcon Lake all the way to Thunder Bay.
Farmers Rd. is pretty chewed up so be careful driving. The trails and parking lot are very muddy. Stay to the trees and it is not bad for walking.

That was a good storm last night and this morning! The City missed the nasty part of it. There were a few tree limbs down on the trails but not to bad damage wise. The plowed trails are very dangerous to walk on so stay to the sides of them or take the off-trails to get around. Also the Tree line trail is blown in.

It's this weather incredible! The groomed trails are iced up a bit and the snow covered ones are soft. So please be careful. The roads in however are a real treat to say the least! People have been parking in the North lot again. As far as I know Farmers Rd. is still closed. Please be aware that with the pipe construction the road could subside. It still needs to be firmed up after the spring thaw.
