I heard with the OFSC cutbacks that the Carling Trail Blazers club lost 1 of their groomers and now only has 1 that is running around the clock. I can see where this is going to hurt.

There never was one, it was up to the clubs themselves and Districts to decide The majority membership voted for Frame Work For Change and MOTTS (More On Snow), both included District based grooming and funding. X amount of Km in the district divided by 130/150 km is how each districts fleet size is determined. Of course there's exceptions, but they each have to be approved by the board.  Which puts a ton of extra work load and stress on the board, who are also volunteers.    Just look at the posts on social media, lots of equip is now being run 24/7 days on end swapping out operators. In these temps with these big snow loads it's super tough on equip, and operators. In some cases units that clubs selected specifically for certain geography are being used well outside their abilities now, causing further issues. In extreme conditions equipment needs to be thawed and visually inspected and greased a lot more often, especially if the shifts are twice as long.  

What is the threshold for the # of km of trails for a club to have a groomer - the 120 to 150km noted above I assume?   This makes sense to me if there are clubs with limited number of trails (below the threshold), as long as the neighboring clubs understand its obligation, that they get paid for of course. I guess this makes sense why clubs came together to form one group that makes up x number of clubs to maintain that area.   What happens when they all do not play well in the sandbox and a club is not getting its trails groomed?    

1, 30, or 3000 - you at least need to have 1 that works - and 1 as a back-up for when 1 doesn't  

Not enough trail to warrant having one, there's a good handful of none grooming clubs, has been for decades. They handle land owners, signing, brushing and all things trail related, and grooming is done by neighbouring clubs via district grooming.   Just like a 30km day of sledding used to be a decent day of riding, but now just a throttle blip. Industrial groomers have evolved and there's no need to have one for every 30 km of trail.      The new 120-150km per groomer "policy" is just absolutely absurd, and starting to really show how taxing it is on the fleet it's self as a whole, operators and the volunteers who maintain the equip.
