Strathcona Wilderness Centre updates
- Feb. 26, 2021: The recent fluctuation in temperatures has induced a significant transformation of snow conditions; the fresh snow and a full renovation will improve conditions considerably. We will be grooming and resetting Friday evening and Sunday morning; please watch for grooming equipment and give our groomers time and trail to work – please stay off the trails as they are being groomed.
