We will not be grooming until we get more snow. We got 2′ yesterday and 1′ last night in the village of Newberry.
There has only been one signifacant snow fall so far this year, and we need more snow..
We do not groom in the village, and the curfew in the village is 11 P.M. to 7 A.M.
Temps are expected to be in the Teens through the week single digits by Sunday, with little snow. Maybe 2 to 3 inches by Thursday. The trails are icy where ever there was snow. We will not groom until we get about 8 to 10 inches of snow.
Trail #9 is in Poor condition, there are spots on the 3 Mile grade with no snow on it.
Trail #45 is plowed from Skyline Road to the north 3 miles for logging. This area is very icy with large dips, please be very CAUTIOUS. The rest of the trail is in Poor condition.
Trail #9/2 to Epoufette & Trout Lake is in Poor shape down to Rexton where the snow gets thin.
