Thank you to Paradise groomers for there help getting from the falls to County Rd. 500, they reported no water holes.

Trail #2/9 to Trout Lake and Eppoufette is in good condition over all, with a 4 to 5" base. Jeff headed to to Rexton / Eppoufette last night and reported . We have got to the power lines at H-40, we will attempt to get through to Trout Lake as soon as the swamp freezes along the railroad.

Be careful on the corners as they may be icy.

There is logging on Trail #45 North of Skyline Dr. for 4 to 5 miles. There is also logging South of M-123 on Trail #45.

Logging on Trail #498 North of Co. Rd. 455, be careful in these areas, as the trail may be plowed.

It has come to my attention that there is no fuel symbol on the snowmobile trail map for the North Store. The North Store is located at Wolf Inn Jct. They are open from 9 A.M. to 9 P.M.

We need more snow! And cold weather.

FYI: There will not be gas at Rainbow Lodge this year as they are closing for the winter. There is a gas pump logo on the trail map, but they will be CLOSED. The map is new for this year,and I recieved the information about Rainbow Lodge after the maps went to the printer.
