Good morning from Club #1. It is a good morning when we can say again “We have three groomers on the move since last night”. We got the #2 back and put it to work as we picked up the drag at the 23/19 intersection where it laid for close to three weeks. From there it was onto the...

Good morning to you from Bathurst. I’m feeling a little better this morning as we’re starting to see some daylight with our groomer problems. Ron worked on the #3 yesterday and had it back on the trail last evening. The #2 should be floated to Bathurst sometime tonight and put to...

Our fourth supper was another sell-out at the lodge last night. A big thank you goes out to Guy Hache and West End Sports. Guy was up with his staff to help with the serving of a beautiful turkey supper. As always Guy had some wonderful prizes as part of the meal ticket and the club wants to acknowledge him...

Update 11.30 AM . #1 Groomer: Bryan just finished the 503 and is headed back to Rogers Lake.
#3 groomer still down for welding on the drag. Should be good by end of day if we can procure a welder.

-5 in Bathurst with a light snow falling. I kept monitoring the rainfall and precip yesterday and it didn’t amount to anything. I went out last night and it was as though a paving machine dropped a 1 inch layer of white asphalt over everything, not great for automobiles, but it would...

With almost two days rest the groomers will be out tonight. Should be an awesome week of sledding in the Bathurst and surrounding communities. Weather looks great going forward.

-7 here in Bathurst this morning and there will be freezing rain later this morning and into the evening followed by about 5 cm of snow for 24 hours. They are calling for up to 10mm and hopefully that number stays where they are estimating. Just afraid to see trees bending into the...

Update 3 PM: 503 completed and half way up on Trail 504 to Mt Carleton

Not sure about writing this post this morning as I don’t want to jinx our one day without an incident. With the #1 on the go and just getting back from Serpentine to Rogers Lake, Roger was there to meet Mickey to...

This is so bad you may as well laugh. The last two days it was one step forward or whatever. Too many steps, then you start tripping over everything. So here is what took place yesterday. We got the #1 workhorse back on the trail late yesterday afternoon and it is on the trail at...
