The Bittersweet Cross Country Ski Trails outside of Portage la Prairie are up and running for your enjoyment.

"It was right into the middle of last week before we could say all the trails were packed and groomed, and ready for skiers," says Member Ardythe McMaster. "We're really happy now and we've had a lot of skiers over the holiday season, and they all seem to be pretty happy with what they see."

McMaster says the trails really are looking amazing and they wouldn't have gotten that way without volunteer support.

"We've had help from a lot of people," says McMaster. "The groomers of course, who have spent a lot of their holiday hours grooming trails for us."
