-20 this morning in Bathurst. The maintenance on the #1 went well and got back on the trails yesterday afternoon and left East Bathurst on Trail 19 to the Atlantic Host, fueled and then headed for Nepisiguit and Rogers Lake and is still on the trail at post. It will leave for...

Safety Message Stay on the right side, especially in corners.
80 to 90 % of our trails are of the wide variety here at Nepisiguit (20ft), but there are areas that are not so wide. In this day and age with so many riders on the trails, we still have people taking corners on the opposite side of the trail. I’...

Update #2 2.30 PM The #1 just left the shop after its service. It is grooming from East
Bathurst to the Atlantic Host, then back to Nepisiguit and on to Rogers Lake,
then an Operator change and heading west on Trail 23. Will let you know in
the morning what is taking place.

Update 1PM Mickey...

Update #1 1040 AM. The #1 was scheduled to run back to Rogers Lake, but Ron ordered it to the Garage in East Bathurst for a deicing and maintenance. We have to protect our workhorse with making sure it is in top shape as we're down a unit with the # 2 on the fritz.

-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...
