Yukon Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Cedar Gables lodge or the Dinner bell. Both will book up quick as they are quite small. Cedar Gables which is a bed and breakfast is my first pick. Awesome place , awesome hosts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbakernbay Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I PM'd Adam and gave him Darcy's email at Cedar a Gables as well as another a BSC Director. I really can't give advice on another Club's trails during startup as I am having a tough time with our 225 Kms which is plagued with Hydro One and Loggers plowing roads/trails all across our system. We had a District 11 meeting tonight and it is discouraging news almost District wide. Bonfield SC is probably the best off of most of our clubs, they have been packing extensively. Mattawa SC has opened their end of A112A. Water levels are high almost everywhere and the little snow hasn't much body to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbakernbay Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Be advised that Trout Lake NBSC trails are not yet staked. Lake was checked today in many areas. We will not stake unless entire length of A and D are checked and found to be sufficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbakernbay Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 NBSC Operations Manager reports tonight: Surprisingly there is no frost anywhere. I packed swamp north of A102Q at Sand Dam last Monday . Since then we have had a few -25 night. Today we crossed with groomer but with a degree of difficulty. Yesterday we groomed south on AD to The Portage. All wet spots/swamps that had been pre packed broke up on our way back. Pulling boulders and stumps out of the ground. While at The Portage, we packed the trail across North Shore towards Four mile bay only to allow frost to get in the ground . The water was still laying on surface of the ground under the snow.

Same problem here. No frost under the snow either. Snow is insulating everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbakernbay Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 This is getting very discouraging, hard on equipment and the nerves. Too much water everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperules700 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 This is getting very discouraging, hard on equipment and the nerves. Too much water everywhere. It is a shame. Hopefully the cold next week, will make a difference. Minus 20 C should stiffen things up abit for you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucrestyle Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Yes it's been a tough start, I just had a guy on our club Facebook page complaining about grooming! We work our butts off to get a few km"s open and they still complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
