It is -3 in Bathurst at post. Well, that was a nIce little storm that just blew by us in the matter of five to six hours and there was 25 cm down by 11 PM with not much more overnight. The groomers should be out as soon as the boys get to them. The #1 is at Rogers Lake. The #3 is at Nepisiguit. The #2 is at the shop in East Bathurst. It should be decent snow to groom as it is packed in with the strong winds we had. At present winds are out of the east, but will dramatically shift to the west and south/west sometime this morning, which usually brings more of a warmer type atmosphere.
I will update you as soon as each groomer hits the trails. In the meantime if anyone is ready to do some “off trailing” on signed trails, try to widen the tracks as you go. It will help the grooming process immensely. Drive safe.
As I said in yesterday’s report, “this snow will be good, but I feel it is too little too late as new snow does not have the staying power that we have in the old snow”, especially in the base. We’ll see what next week brings.
The Danny Burger run is on for Saturday. Read previous posts for details.
