Winterbike Grooming Plan 2026

January 13, 2026 By Rachel Merrithew

Riders!

Your Winterbike membership supports trail grooming at several locations in the Fredericton area. Here’s our tentative plan for MVP, Islandview, and Woolastook.

Winter riding is one of the highlights of the season, and our grooming plan aims to keep as much terrain open as conditions allow. All winter grooming is fully dependent on snowfall, temperature, and trail conditions, and plans may shift accordingly throughout the season.

MVP

Our goal at MVP is to keep as much riding open as possible, snow permitting. If conditions cooperate, we plan to groom:

  • Main MVP network
  • Monkey Business
  • Pinball
  • Slash n Berm
  • D-Track Climb

Island View

Exact groomed trails at Island View will depend on snow depth and conditions.
In past seasons, this has included:

  • Snake
  • Intro
  • Hansel & Gretel
  • Power Line Loop

Trail selection may vary based on snowfall amounts. Please check for updates before heading out.

Woolastook

As with our other locations, Woolastook grooming plans also depend heavily on snowfall. Each winter looks a little different, and trail choices may shift based on conditions.
The aspiration is to groom Mammoth if we receive sufficient snow. Last season included:

  • Wooly Loop
  • Missing Link to the lookout
  • Split Rail
  • Bartlett’s Meadow

📣 Stay Updated

Conditions can change quickly. For the most up-to-date grooming information, closures, and ride-ready announcements, follow River Valley Cycling on Facebook.

Thank you to our volunteers and riders for your patience, flexibility, and support — winter riding only works because of this community!
