Black Creek Outfitters. A great place to visit with wonderful owners as hosts. Being there 7 days a week, week-after-week, year-after-year eventually turns a passion into a pain. I seen it with Barry B when he purchased, then ran Aubrey Falls Trading Post in the early 1980's, through to the end of the 1990's. Running that diesel generator on a daily basis isn't cheap, then add in the TSSA costs and headaches for the fuel pumps and whatever other troubles go with running a rural small business. Glad they stuck it out as long as they have. Very nice people.

One of the members is working at getting the facebook page up again. In the meantime we are down one groomer and trying to get caught up, the one machine is up at Black creek today. I am going up to Black creek tomorrow to pick up the TM from to Soo and bring it back to town. All of our trails have been groomed this week with the exception of the D trail to Spanish. It's not too bad until you hit the logging operation then lots of sand on road.

Sault Updates: There's no shortage of snow in Sault Ste. Marie and logging road and back-country riding has been open since late November. You are good to go in terms of unofficial riding, with 100's of kms of various routes, mostly on crown land. One of the major challenges our region faces is the ruggedness of the terrain, which makes us susceptible to washouts, ruts and boulders on the trails. Having said that, even though we have a good snow-base which would be plenty for flat-land and farmer's field riding, the boulders and holes on some of these trails need to be covered up. Many riders have been out already, especially points northward of the city, however, very few are on OntarioConditions to post their updates. You are good to go. Snowdepth is between 18" - 36" at points north of Sault Ste. Marie. Hope this helps. Have fun this weekend. I may be out on Saturday or Sunday, once Christmas company heads home.
