From SEB: Just got word from Nick that all trails have been groomed including the swamp. Nick confirms the new trail through the swamp was slushy today. [So it will be possibly chunk ice and certainly rough by morning.] I made a bit of a hole in the snowbank on 10th concession,…
From Nick: “All trails off the 11th have been double groomed including the steep ravine! Moose and 10-11 have 1 pass and snow was packed on the new swamp trail, gun club north and south and old tower loop. If we have time tomorrow we will try to finish the grooming and…
Russland Rd will be closed starting next Monday (Dec 4th) for two weeks from Garland Rd to Limoges Rd. Please check into alternate routes if you are planning to use this route to get to the forest for the Poker Run.
So we had some issues with icy trails, in particular south JGL was likely to be unsafe. However, we think we have found a decent route. There will still be some frozen puddles you can steer around, but maybe not so good for beginners. Depending on the snow we get…

They have been having trouble with too much snow this week, but they were able to groom somewhat. Steve has groomed the western trails (off concession 11), but only one groomer wide (4 ft), the eastern trails (Moose, Gun Club and Tower Loop) are skidoo packed, but not 10-11. — Dana
We packed all the western trails yesterday. Nick
