We moved the third groomer up to Nepisiguit and we’ll attempt running out of the Lodge Area to Nine Mile East Rd and maybe up the ditch as that road was ploughed earlier. The #1 is on its way to Serpentine and Big Blue after an electrical fix is up towards Popple Depot. Ron is...

We could have a snow dusting on the weekend. Both groomers were out yesterday; however, the New Holland developed an alarm half way to Popple Depot and although there were no codes, we didn’t want to take a chance, so we will look at it in the morning. The #1 completed Trail 22...

Ron and his crew will be working the trails today; this time with two groomers. Since the trails are not normal being so hard, Ron feels that day work is the way to go as it is easier to see all the cement like moguls and by working it slowly, he feels we could have a 100 Km product...

-10 in Bathurst and feels like -20 with the wind. Ron will give me a full report tonight on the state of grooming. He is going to do some groomer trail testing today out of Rogers Lake on Trail 23, maybe 507 and 22. I imagine the trails are rock hard and bumpy after all this crap. The...

We converse nearly everyday to share info. Ron will be up...

We’re i the second round of the prize fight and we’re not doing so good; not as much snow as they said and more rain than forecasted. Yup they’re fighting dirty, but we’re not throwing in the towel. We’ll see what takes place at mid afternoon when it looks like we may get our @$$...
+ 1 and Raining Heavy in Bathurst at post. It is supposed to slow down dramatically in the next hour or so. My rain gauge says 20 mm.
Plus they're calling for +9 tomorrow. Could be the knock out blow.????
