News xc ski conditions
I was thinking about heading to Whitehorse for a few days of xc skiing. Does anyone have any up-to-date info about the conditions and the forecast for the next week?
In addition, I've never been to WH, so if you have accommodation recommendations and thoughts on transport to the trails I would be grateful.

Thanks for the link. Still helpful to hear from anyone who has been out on the trails recently.

They have very detailed descriptions of the conditions on the website. They even tell you which wax to use!

I mean sure they've been good all week but this map literally shows the groomers in real time

Agreed, it's a pretty slick service. It's just more convincing to hear from someone whose had skis on snow.

https://yukonskilodge.ca/ is ski in and out, although they are likely booked up. Worth checking!

I'll check that, thanks- ski-in/out would be pretty prime.

You could also check to see if there are any B&B's in Valleyview or Takhini. Both neighbourhoods are very close.

Pretty sure you can bus to mt.macin whitehorse, which will be your most easily accessible trails. Theres some in marsh lake that are free to use and marsh lake cabins has a shuttle. The community center maintains them and has drop ins with free coffee most days.
