-20 with a -30 wind chill. We dodged a bullet yesterday morning with the ditching of our workhorse #1 groomer (see yesterday’s post). As you know we’re down to two groomers of which the #1 does 75% of the grooming. We just got word that the #2 will be out of action for as much as...

A rather chilly -18 in Bathurst at post. This morning I’ll talk about the snow we just got in the past 5 days. First we received about 15 mm of rain on Saturday, then we got from between 25 and 40 cm of snow on Sunday and probably up to 20 cm from Monday until Wednesday. Just...

We are officially down to two groomers with the #2 out for hopefully less than a week due to a Cummings engine failure. The other two groomers were out last night and the workhorse #1 had just got back to Rogers Lake from Serpentine and after a routine service it was off to...

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...
