gobills Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I have ridden the trails extensively for over 30 years as my cottage is in Halliburton. The rail trail is an ESP trail and can be groomed with little snow as its a rail bed. It also see the majority of traffic. The B needs and those in the know can confirm at least a foot of snow which we haven't really had this year. For example the 9 hasn't even openedthis year and is a similar area that needs snow and cols to freeze up the wash outs and swampy parts. I'm not part of the executive but it bothers me when I see ill informed rants. No wonder the turnover is what it is on some clubs. There is more to the story here, this hasn't been a banner year for snow. When we have gotten some we have quickly lost it. Did you read Jhrz06's post?? Or my Post?? We are not talking about trail 9!! We do not need more examples but thanks! We both understand what it takes to open the trails and the work that goes into the system. We realize that this is a horrible year for snow as I'm sure all sledders realize that. We are questioning the consistency of the grooming on one certain part of the system not the whole thing. Im glad to hear that some people ran it on Sunday and it had been fixed up. Also thanks to anyone reporting things on ice surface's its appreciated by all!!

jrhz06 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Did a quick run on the B from Carnarvon up to Hawk Lake. Great job guys! The grooming has made this section 100% better. Looks like the groomer broke through on one of the swamps. We stopped and chatted with the groomer on our way back and I asked him about the swamp. He said he broke through and that it was a couple of feet deep. There is a path around the water so no water skipping is needed. We were both surprised where he broke through as that usually isn't a problem spot. The questionable spots were fine as he went right over them, no problem. Thanks Livin', your guys did a great job.
