Two Days Left. If you're Sledding, Take your snacks.

09:40 AM - March 21, 2020


Saturday, Mar 21st, Club #1
     That was a long day yesterday with a lot of banter going back and forth with trying to explain the fact of this CO 19 crisis is the reason why the NBFSC shutting down the trail system. As everyone knows by now Sunday midnight the NBFSC is closing down the trails and also the grooming. We will be moving the groomers back to the shop tonight. The Nepisiguit Lodge is still in the close down mode and that will be happening through Sunday when we will close our doors for the season. 
     Take this for what it is worth; the trails are in excellent shape and will remain so for weeks even without grooming. I’ve been told that the private clubs will be selling gas as long as the snow lasts, but no other amenities and they are Rogers Lake, Governors and Serpentine. Even though the trails are shut down the NBFSC has lease rights until April 15th and no other vehicles are legally allowed on these trails.  
    I was a bit curious about all of grooming termination dates as I have records going back as far as 2005 and the average runs around April 4th to 5th and in a lot of cases we would only have one groomer running just to touch up here and there. The earliest was in 2012 when we went from winter to summer in two days March 19 and 20 when the temperatures reached 28 degrees centigrade. Now as I also reflect back there were many years where sledding continued well after April 15th.
