Update Feb. 15 2019
The flex plate between the motor and transmission of the John Deer is missing... so the groomer won't be on the trails for now. A mechanic came to check and the parts are ordered, if everything goes well, we might have them by Tuesday. About 12 hours of work is expected for the repairs.
For the New Holland, some people are working on it at the moment and we hope to see it back on the trails by Saturday at midnight.
We are presently trying to have our neighbors's clubs to give us a hand by coming our way until our groomers are back on track.
We are trying our best! ;)
Have a good weekent snowmobiling and be safe!

Trails
We had a little bad luck with our groomer (John Deer) this weekend, a sprocket attachment we had to repare, by taking back the groomer at the club's garage. Sunday morning, me, Paul and Jacques did the repares and the groomer was back on the trails! First of all, the groomer is going to 19 East (Atlantic Host) and will do 19 West until junction #503 going by #308 & #301 back and forth (lots of drifts with all that wind!) so for the ones going on the trails, be careful, the groomer will be there 24/24.

Hi Snowmobile friends and members,
After this weather cocktail, it back to grooming!
We are presently on trail #19East up to town, then #304 and #310 up to Robertville road.
We will have to wait a bit to groom the rivers. We will do trail #301 which is now open to snowmobilers.
We're up to the sugar shack with the tractor only, gone from the trail that was closed (lots of snow and drifts). On schedule, faire all trails tonight and then do all upper trails and finish up with trail #19 until junction #503 back and forth from trail #308 and #307 and then after trail #303 (Upper Lake), lots of snow there too! For that reason, we will do the back and forth with the tractor only and after go back with the groomer.
We have received all the needed parts for the 2nd groomer (New-Holand), so first thing Monday we will work on it and do the most we can before February 1st!
*If any mechanics would give some of their time it would be VERY appreciated!!
** Estimated time of repairs: 40hrs +
Be careful on the trails, some obsctacles could be there!
Thanks!

We have groomed trails 19 East and West
(take note that the trail from Lugar to Ste-Louise 1.5 km has a
detour made by the groomer, only the snowmobilers are able to
continue on trail 19, there's ice on the trail and the groomer cannot
get up there, we are working on this issue at this time, be careful.
Trail #308 have been groomed, and we are working on trails #307, 303 and 301. The groomer will be on the trails all weekend, 24/24 so be alert and careful! There's a lot of drifts.

The trails are mostly passable. Trail #19, Atlantic Host to West going to Island Lake has been groomed also as trails #307 and #303 for the first time, it's important to be very careful.
We have groomed trail #22/ #301 (sugar shack) still have a lot of work to do (such as cutting branches and signalisation) Be very careful in general.
We are in stand-by at the moment (waiting for a front windshield for the groomer, ''Rush'' order)
As soon as it comes in, we will be back on the trails!
From all the direction of the Chaleur Club, we wish you all Happy New Year and thanks for your support!!
Have a good snowmobile season!

Hi everyone,
After all the rain received, we had to redo our trails. The night of the 23rd (Sunday night), we have done trail 19 West to Island Lake by trail #308 and came back on 19/22 and 19 East to the Club and then to Atlantic Host. PLEASE be careful for wash outs, they will be marked by NBFSC signs.
We wish you all had a Merry Christmas from all of us!
Valmond, President Chaleur Snowmobile Club

Very good start for the trails. A big
group of volunteers came up on the trails last weekend to help cut
the trees so the groomer could complete the work.
We have groomed trail 19 ( from
Atlantic Host to junction 503 ''Samson field'') and also trail 308
(Island Lake) and part of trail 310 (Mill Stream river).
All that was only the first grooming, so I ask you to remain very careful on the trails as there is still some barriers such as unfrozen spots.
Our plan is to groom the 301 from North to South to junction 22/301, Sugar shack and also local trails (307, 303, 304).
Thank you
Valmond, Chaleur club President
