Finally, the New Holland #2 groomer, is ready. So today, we will switch drags (Mogle Master) will be installed on the New Holland and tonight, it will be on the trail (lower block) 19 E, down to the Host, all the way and to 304 Danny’s. The other drag; the hitch part is at (usifab welding shop) right now. Been working on, and should be ready late tonight; so right after both groomers will be on the trail.

Good day snowmobilers; all trails were groomed over the past 24 hrs; trail 19, also 304,310,307,308,19/22 and 301; but with the strong wind we had overnight, the operator said there some spots (big drifts in the open area) that will need to be redone. So, that is the plan for today, especially on the upper block 19 and 301 trail. If you are sledding in that area; be careful. 

Good morning from Sormany club #4; well, everything goes as planned for grooming in the past weekend. We did all trail system (double) with the #1 John Deere, and

now the plan is tonight we will be on the lower block doing trail 19 E, 310 and 304, and when we arrive to the clubhouse, switch operators the go on upper block 19 W, do 301, up to 22, to 19/3 shelter and then come back to the 19 all the way back to  clubhouse.

Well, after few problems on the # 1 John Deere, fuel tanks strap and we replace the front left track this morning is finally on trail tonight  doing the lower block on 19 E and also we will repair that section

on 19 (grant brook hill) appx. 2.4 km of bad section  and do 310 and 304 Danny's and will come back to the clubhouse, then he will go on the upper block  do the 19 W,  up to 19/22 junction, do 303, on the way up  and do 22,  then 301 sugar shack, then back to club so tomorrow night he will be back on the lower block redoing the trail 19, 304 and 310   the new Holland # 2  is still down waiting for (fuel pump)  hope for Wednesday night to be ready.  

 The #1 John Deere will be on the trail tonight, going towards 19 E, also doing 304 and 310 and coming back to the clubhouse. Tomorrow morning both groomers will be on trail 19 (at grant brook) appx. 10 km from the clubhouse, to try to pick the drag that was left on the trail; so be careful in that area. The #2 New Holland will take over on upper block  19 W, 308, 22 and 301, and will be scheduled, 24/7, until we replace the 2 front lag on the #1 John Deere. 

The # 1 John deer is still on the trail, and as you see all the system is in the green, so it is a good performance from operators to keep the trail in shape so right now, they are in the upper block on 19 W, and will do 19\22 up to 180 road, back to the area in open clear-cut; to repair drift and will do 308,307,303 on the way back. The good news is the mechanic, from the coop, up Matepedia Garage, is in the shop, repairing the #2 new Holland; so hope to see it on trail tomorrow, doing lower block 19 E,304 and 310 and John Deer will do 19 W up to 301, then up to 180 road on the south side and will return on is way back to the clubhouse. Another place that is clear-cut; is back of caribou mine.

Well, it was a very busy weekend for the sledders and we see lots of visitors from all over the maritime provinces. It is good for our local sponsors and their business.

So since Friday after that snow fall, we did over 450 km of grooming with only one groomer, the #1 john deer 24/24/7 nonstop, so we were able to keep the trail system in good shape. All trail was done, and redone, 19 E and W, 310, 304,301, 303, 307, 308; the plan is to continue with the John deer until the #2 new Holland is ready.
