Early season trail conditions can be expected for some time yet . About the best thing we can hope for is more cold before snow . Trails are in rough shape due to lack of snow . Beware of unfrozen swamps in all of our sections . None of them have been crossed with our equipment yet . We have panned to the North and south . Be advised of a reroute West and North of Nelligan pond area . Its a beautiful section and the individuals who were responsible did an excellent job . Stay tuned for further updates

The landowners, the Connor family, in cooperation with the 100 Miler did the trail improvement NW of Neligans Pond. Great teamwork between landowners and a snowmobile club!!

The jamaican snow gods were a bit short on greens again! ended up with about 2 inches of wet and heavy snow.. This will be great for creating a base like concrete with the arctic temps on the way later this weekend! we need more snow though to fill in the holes and smooth over the rocks!!!!! A great riding season always starts with a good base!!!!!

Expect early season riding conditions again folks this weekend!

Hope you get through the wet areas. We had to snow-shoe through some of our swamps and marshes.
