The Free Mobile Ski Library is a program that allows anyone to borrow cross-country skis, boots, poles, and other winter equipment for free. The mobile ski library travels to various parks around the city, where you can pick up the gear and hit the trails. You can also join free ski lessons, skating lessons, and other winter events hosted by the Winnipeg Trails Association and its partners.

The Free Mobile Ski Library is part of the WinterPeg project, which aims to make winter activities accessible and affordable for all. The project also includes grooming ski trails in 30 parks across the city, creating a map of trails and their conditions, and planting trees along the streets to provide shade and beauty.
