GROOMER REPORTS
Central Groomer
3 days of busting banks and getting trails open. We finally were able to get hooked on the drag. We had it shipped to Summerside to start from there as the western trails have been really good and to allow traffic to get to the two other clubs systems. We ran straight thru from Thursday morning and it is still going. I want to thank the two clubs for helping out with Springside cutting some of the drifts to Borden and KASA getting another pass from Summerside to Borden and back to their home base. Central Groomer ran last night to Mount Stewart and back to Emerald thru out the night. Driver change this morning (02/10/24) and the operator is starting to bust the North Side trail (route 212). With the mild temps overnight and Sunday morning we may do another pass on the north side trail. Land owners are contacting and complaining about trespassing in areas. We understand people want to be out but by not running where the trail is marked causes us to lose trail sections. Hoping to get section to coach's restaurant this evening or morning. I want to thank all operators for there time and dedication over the last 4 days. Without them we would have nothing. Give them a thumbs up or check to see if they may need anything. The trails will get better as we can now process and manicure the trails. Ice crossings are still an issue and unless we get a cold snap recommend to not use them. Sled Safe. Slow down. Stay Right. Lets hope we can get steady snow now to improve what we have.

Eastern # 1 February 21 Update
After a extremely busy holiday weekend on the eastern trail system, the groomers left Monday evening to start the process of grooming the entire eastern trail system. Unit # 1 left Grandview and headed down Route #104 towards Murray Harbour and Ocean Acres, on the way back of doing a double pass the groomer went in the 305A from Colville Road to County Line Road. After refueling at Grandview the groomer headed down the #217 towards Greenfield and New Perth. Groomer then went into Georgetown on the #103 and then into Montague. After the double pass on these two trails it headed north on the #221 where it did a double pass on Route # 311 or sometimes called the Lorne Valley Trail before doing a third pass of the day on the #103 between Cardigan and Pisquid River and taking the #104 through Lake Verde for the 3rd pass of the day as well. It was a couple of perfect nights for grooming with the cold temperatures. The trails have set up beautifully as they are hard and fast so please keep right and ride safe
Island 4 Trail
After a wonderful weekend of snowmobiling and seeing hundreds of sleds on the entire PEISA trail system, most groomers started up again last night when temperatures got colder. The Island # 4 was also out on Saturday night but a hydraulic oil leak in one of the lines at 2.30 am forced us to stop grooming and leave the groomer on the side of the trail, till repairs could be done on Monday morning. After installing a new hose and a few minor maintenance repairs, the groomer was ready to go and it left Grandview Monday evening and headed up the #104 through Lake Verde and up to Pisquid River, where it turned around and returned back to Lake Verde and headed into Mt. Herbert on the #105. After a double pass on this trail the groomer went back to Grandview for fuel and then headed towards Murray Harbour on the #104. The groomer returned back to Grandview early morning on Tuesday as the temperatures started to rise. There will be no grooming on Tuesday due to the warmer temperature but it looks like Wednesday night we can return to grooming when the temperatures get colder. Hopefully for all snowmobilers and business owners the warm weather does not destroy our volatile trail system. Stay tuned for updates in the coming days
KASA
Groomer has been on the move since early morning. Down to rustico and making his way to Fredericton now then planning to hit cell tower and Springvalley later today. This fresh snow came straight down last night and the bit of freezing rain seems to be holding it well. As the wind picks up there is some drifting happening filling it in fast.
Springside Trail
Groomer left from homebase last night at 9:30 , did the 301 over to Clow's 309 west / then east to the 213 behind Lanks Farm , over to the railbed 100. Turned and took the 213 back to the powerline (301) and did Cornwall east/west 315 then to North River on the 317. Then back to the 301 and over to the New Haven loop 409. The trails are in very good shape with some ground drifting taking place. Ride Safe , Ride right with your permits on and as always , watch for flashing lights!
Western Trail
The groomer is headed East to Miscouche with the packers on, when it gets back it will be heading West to Tignish.
