KCC Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 And so it begins. Today the NRSA had awesome weather, scenery and of course a great turnout for the first club trail day in preparation of the 2019 season. Some trail brushing, a few obstacles cleared and upgraded but most of all plenty of good times. Thanks for all the help to today's volunteers.

KCC Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 The NRSA would like to thank the Town of Deep River for their assistance with expanding the park and ride located in the town and providing us with a location to move our new groomer shed, Steve Everitt (Owner/operator of Everitt's Service Centre) for providing assistance with the electrical service for the shed etc., the Town of Laurentian Hills for providing gravel and base materials for the shed and the NRSA volunteers who assisted with planning this project and will be completing the shed construction in time to start the next snowmobiling season. Getting this project finished in such a timely fashion truly shows how various groups can work together for the betterment of the community, business's and sport of snowmobiling. Stay tuned for more photos as this project moves closer to completion in the near future. Below is the expanded Deep River park and ride area in the foreground with the new NRSA groomer shed location in the back. — at Town of Deep River, Ontario.

KCC Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 What better way to start the Thanksgiving weekend. The NRSA volunteer groomer team had a busy few days performing maintenance and replacing the tracks on the Prinoth Husky. Thanks for ensuring that the groomer will be ready when the snow flies.

KCC Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 After almost 2500 hours of grooming over the past four winters the old tracks were starting to wear and we had an opportunity to upgrade. We will be keeping the old set for emergency backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCC Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 The groomer & drag is parked in both winter & summer. Yes, we do repairs in there but in the winter the groomer is taken to a volunteer's heated garage overnight about 1 once every 2nd week for greasing & melting of the unit. We do have a large heater that we use when working on the groomer at the groomer shed, it seems to work good for our club. We have a sea container that is set up as a work shop and have a heater for it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCC Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 Please check the OFSC interactive trail guide as some of our trails have opened limited! We received about 8 inches of snow last night, groomer is out on the trails. Groomer is now located in its new shed thanks to the hard work of our volunteers and towns of Deep River and Laurentian Hills for their help in making this possible. Also the Deep River Park & Ride is now about 50% larger than last season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
