Just a note before this happens. It can be a fool hardy adventure to attempt to drive a street vehicle on a groomed snowmobile trail. It is illegal and can be damaging to the vehicle plus the potential for a huge fine ranging from $180.00 for driving a four wheeled vehicle on a snowmobile trail. Just pass this...

-11 here in Bathurst. We just ended up behind the 8 ball yesterday as we had to ship the #2 groomer to Tracadie due to a engine fuel problem. Hopefully we get the unit back today. If anything the trails to Bathurst will be well tramped. We were out early enough yesterday with the...

-14 here in Bathurst with 25 to 30 cm of new snow down and there could be much more in the high ground (Nepisiguit, Rogers Lake Governors, Serpentine). As it usually is when we get this kind of dumping it is slow to get going for obvious reasons. The groomers are in remote areas for...

There wasn’t much going on yesterday except with the weather. They were calling for 7 degree with 5 to 10 mm of rain for most of the week. We received 4 degree with 15 mm of rain and the temps dropped to -5 overnight so if you have a big yard you will probably need skates today. Now...

The three groomers were out last night. #1 Rogers Lake to Serpentine, #2 Nepisiguit to Atlantic Host, #3 Rogers Lake to Nepisiguit Lodge. All are still on the trail at post on their return runs. So Bathurst to Serpentine will be freshly groomed this morning. Trails are...

-8 at post. Relatively quiet on grooming last night as we had the #1 out on Trail 22 from Rogers Lake out to the 22/301 intersection. From all reports coming in a lot of the trails are being reported as good to awesome. Even the trails from Bathurst is getting good reviews. All...

Another great first supper at the lodge last night. We want to thank Pat Elhatton of Elhatton’s Funeral Home for their 24th year of sponsoring his supper. We had a sellout crowd with people in from NS and different parts of NB. Great food and prizes and everyone had a great time. Many old faces and lots of...

January 10: Safety
Usually I’ve stressed the issue of safety on the trails and it is about time that we bring this topic to the front. Fortunately we have been spared a fatal accident this year in New Brunswick, but that goes without saying that we’ve had a share of accidents. With increasing traffic we...

Update 7AM: #2 unit still on the trail. Returning from the Host to Nepisiguit on 19 /23
Wednesday, Jan 8th, Club #1
-18 overnight, which is a big change from the higher numbers we were used to seeing so this gives us better set-up conditions. How long will this last, I do not care to speculate. Since Saturday...

Tuesday, Jan 7th, Club #1
-12 and a little cooler than what it was. The #2 was out last night with it running 19 from the Atlantic Host to East Bathurst and Bass River. The #1 was out of Rogers Lake on Trail 23 to Nine Mile Shelter, Shady Lane Cluster Trail 509, around the California Loop, Trail 508 40...
