January 21, 2019 -12º That was a great storm and it doesn’t look like we will get much of the freezing rain. We will let folks get dug out, it is a bit heavy to move, then we will be at the trails. As with the last big storm, be patient we will get this…

January 20th, 2019 -19º Snowing lightly and not sure if we’ll get what was forecast, let hope. Yesterday Kendall groomed 52 North to the headpond, having the trail flat before a big storm helps with grooming after the storm. We will wait and see what comes, then will be on the trail getting things cleaned…

January 19, 2019 -17º Very cold day today, if you venture out make sure you are prepared. All trails in our system should be in great shape, yesterday Connor did some maintenance (fixed a coolant leak). Ron and Paul put up some missing stop signs in the Napan area, thanks to a call from Francis…

Yesterday Jamie and Connor groomed 52 North to the Headpond and on the way back did 514 (Bobby Buckley will be happy), so in the last 5 days most of our system has seen a groomer. We have a forecast for a major storm on Sunday so we will be monitoring this closely and adjusting…

January 17, 2019 -19º Very cold over night and it looks like this will continue for the next few days. Yesterday 517 to Sunny Corner had it’s grooming finished after Bobby got the drag back together. Also yesterday on 517 we had a crew doing signage, a big thank you to Ron, Dave, Buzzy, Gilles…

January 16th, 2019 -23º These cold night sure are great for the trails, they set up nice and hard. We have both BR180’s back up and running. Ron and Jamie fixed the old BR180 then Jamie groomed 52 to the Miramichi Bridge, then 42 South to the Anderson Bridge, then back on 52 North over…

January 15th, 2019 -22º Yesterday we didn’t get any grooming done, we had the rocker fixed at Castle Machine Works for the old BR180, that will be put on today and hopefully we will be back up and running, the new BR180 is in the shop at North Shore and hopefully we will get it…

January 14th, 2019 -26º This cold weather will help with the trails setting up. Yesterday Alan finished the Southside trails doing Trail 21 to Black River and 510 to Loggieville. We have both Br180’s laid up on the Northside, one has a broken arm on the idler wheels and the other has a broken hitch…

January 13th, 2019 -15º Yesterday we had the privilege of having two of our most experienced groomer operator together (Ron and Buzzy) and they groomed 517 out to the junction of 514 and back out to as far as the Curtis Road, they ran into trouble with some bearing problems so they had to cut…

January 12, 2019 -15º The cold weather for the next few days will help with getting the trails set up. Yesterday Alan had a great day and tramped all the Southside trails from Black River to Barnaby, with all the snow it’s much easier to plow and fix all the bad spots first then put…
