skidon Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 There’s a broken groomer on the B trail hydro line about half way down from Whitney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livin' on the b103 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 It's been there since Thursday night's run. We came up on it on Friday at noon, 24 km's from Whitney. Tough spot to recover it from, never mind try to repair on the spot. That B trail is gonna be rough!! Livin' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, 179 is a ways away from the B through the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live hydro wires down on the trail was the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See the snirt showing in the firth pic? Up north they don't have that problem. However - if you DOO see sumpthing that looks like that - It's likely snow lice. And there can be HUUGE (in my best Trump voice) areas spread all down the trail of them. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming out of Quebec a few years back, crossing into Kirkland lake from Rouyn Noranda, we were stopped coming off larder lake, and the snow along the trail looked like someone had shook pepper all over it.. Snow lice/Snow fleas it was.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ox Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I've always heard "lice", but I'm not an insectomologyst. ??? There was one time that we were stopped - wrenching on sumpthing, and I have a "trunk" built on my old sled, and I had the lid set aside on the ground. A few minutes later when we turned around - there were thousands of them up in that lid. Just amazing! Just dumped them out. LOL! Usually see them late season.
