The cross-country skiers in Neepawa now have the option of a trail closer to home. A ski and snowshoe trail has been cleared at the Neepawa golf course over the holidays and is now open for use. 

Amanda Novak, Leisure Services Manager for the Town of Neepawa, said that they have made trails at the golf course for about the last five years. She said that the trails at the Neepawa Langford Winter Park are beautiful, but they are too far away for some people. “[The trail at the golf course] is an alternative for those people who maybe don’t want to drive out there, or don’t have the means to drive out there,” she said. 

The trail is about three and a half kilometres long and has caution signs where needed. Novak said that anyone who finds hazards on the trail where skiers could be injured should contact her at the Leisure Services office so that the hazards can be dealt with. 

The trail was groomed and is being maintained by the Prairie Mountain Snow Drifters.
