With temperatures high above seasonal and non-existent precipitation leaving the ground brown and snowless, trails that would generally be filled with the sounds of snowmobiles by now are being used by pedestrians instead. This popular trail down by the river behind Festival Park, near the dog park, is typically a hotbed of activity as winter weather enthusiasts brrrrrrap their way along the perfectly groomed Whitecourt Trailblazer trails. With no snow in the foreseeable future, snowmobilers will remain in limbo, and pedestrians will continue to enjoy the tranquillity of the area’s trails later into the season than ever before.
