Groomed ski trails and equipment, near you!

**ARE YOU READY? WE AREN’T… BUT THE FIRST BIG WINTERPEG MOBILE SKI LIBRARY CALENDAR UPDATE of 2023/2024 WILL BE RELEASED SATURDAY DECEMBER 2ND** If your organization wants to host a ski library, we have a few dates. Drop us a line.

The first and only one of its kind in the world, Winnipeg Trails’ Mobile Ski Library brings winter equipment and freshly-groomed trails to unexpected places. The Mobile Ski Library events are all about gathering together to spread the joy of winter. Each one is a bit different, depending on the location, the weather, and the fun folks who turn up – but no matter the setting, you can always count on good times outdoors and fun new opportunities!

Our Mobile Library carries cross-country skis, snowshoes, and kicksleds, and we also offer options for people with mobility or vision challenges in the form of sit-skis, wheelchair blades, and other accommodations – and all of it is FREE to try! Come find a new winter hobby!

Be sure to follow @WinnipegTrails on Instagram and Facebook for the latest updates, including new events and weather-related schedule changes.

The Mobile Ski Library sprung out of necessity during the pandemic, when people needed safe, fun and affordable activities to do outdoors near their home. The initial library was made possible thanks to government grants and donations of equipment from hundreds of generous Winnipeggers, and with continued support we have been able to expand our inventory of winter gear and the scope of our trail grooming and events!

If you or your organization wants to get involved, we’ll do our best to work something out. To request a Mobile Library visit, request a ski trail near you or share your idea, send us an email.

Get yours.

Hooked on skiing?  Want to borrow equipment you can take anywhere you want?

Winnipeggers can access affordable ski rentals through Winnipeg Trails’ social enterprise at Plain Bicycle at the Forks. Visit our bikeshop inside the antique traincars.

Places to ski, here:

We’ve moved our ski trail reporting map over to the TrailForks app, which is a great app for finding new trails and making updates. Below is a map that highlights places to cross country ski near you, including all of the loops we do when the mobile ski library visits a park near you!

Winnipeg Trails Association on Trailforks.com

Help report conditions. Most Winterpeg loops last from the moment we host a library until the snow comes. But if people keep skiing, the trails will still be there – or you can make them! If you ski a trail and want to post an update, you can use the handy tool below. You can also post updates on more established trails in the city by visiting TrailsForks.com and learning more about posting updates.
