Update 1PM:       I just got off the phone with Ron. He has been going since 1PM yesterday with first trying to get to Rogers Lake on the unplowed 430 (Still not Plowed at post). Then he got on the groomer and didn’t stop until late this morning. As mentioned in the early post (groomed...

Update 4.30pm : Donald Basque at Rogers Lake said there is over 18 inches down and still snowing hard. About the same at the Falls.

Update 10AM: So far here in Bathurst we have about 2cm down as it was mostly rain last night, BUT at Nepisiguit and Rogers Lake we are looking at close to 30 cm so far and...

           Here we are on Thursday before we the possibility of getting close to 50 cm by Saturday in the high ground (Nepisiguit to Serpentine) including Rogers Lake and Popple Depot. More like 15 to 20 cm closer to Bathurst.

       We still have the #2...

      Well by Thursday we might be saying "Here we go again". It looks like we could get close to 40 cm in the high ground (Nepisiguit to Serpentine) including Rogers Lake and Popple Depot.  More like 15 cm closer to Bathurst. 

       We still have the #2 stationed at...

This is Ron’s report from his operator as a result from grooming on Sunday night into Monday morning: Mickey just called me and said there is a lot of water on the trail system with some of them with water cuts. He also had to deal with downed trees he had to cut and push off the trail. There is a good amount...

Update 10 AM:     This is Ron’s report from his operator: Mickey just called me and said there is a lot of water on the trail system with some of them with water cuts. He also had to deal with downed trees he had to cut and push off the trail. There is a good amount of snow on Nine mile north,...

       We got up to 90 mm of rain, but low temps kept at least 50 % of the snow that fell last week. To add to this I think the most damaging aspect of deteriorating the snow is warm sun and high winds, which we did not have. The report from the higher ground, Rogers Lake to Popple Depot,...

      One would think that after 80 mm of rain since Wednesday morning that there would not be much snow left, but with temperatures hovering near the minus two about +3 we only lost about 50% of the nearly 24 inches of that previous storm we had a week ago. And todaywe could be getting up to 3...

     There has been 67mm of rain fall in the Bathurst are since Wednesday morning and it is still raining. Their might be a reprieve in the high ground by Saturday as this may change to snow. We’ll see.

    There was no grooming yesterday for obvious reasons. The rain this week could be devastating to some sections of the trail system. Forecast for today and tomorrow could tell the tale in some areas with up to 50 ml of rain. The Higher Ground may get a bit of reprieve with cooler temperatures and a...
