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 2^nd groomer (New-Holand), so first thing Monday we will work on it and do the most we can before February 1^st!

*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!

Valmond, Chaleur Club President

Hi club members and friends.

We are back functional! The following repares have been made: changed both heater's motors, soleniod to engage the 4x4 ''full lock'' and the regular maintenance was performed, oil & filter changed (motor & transmission), re-torqued all bolts on tracks, replaced the radiator fan and the front windshield with the help of John Deer's technician.

Hoping that everything will go smootly from now on!

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.

Valmond,

 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!

Valmond, Président

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

Thanks to all who have been working hard in clearing our trails during the fall storms.

Much work has been done.

Unfortunately we have been hit with a perfect storm.

We now have trees weighed down with snow which has to be cleaned before the trails can open.

Our John Deere is now operational and it is being used to clear the trail.

But the John Deere is not enough.

We have been so busy clearing the trees that we have not even begun the place the signs

We still desperately need people with snowmobile and chainsaws.

If you can help please contact us.

24 Nov. 2018

A valiant effort was given from the 12 volunteers who showed up on Saturday.

We are so thankful.

All the big fallen trees laying between the clubhouse and Tetagouche road have been cleared allowing the tractor to make its way to trail 24. They were also able to lay drain culverts.

Another group got busy clearing trails 304 and 307 to the Tetagouche road. A third group made their way on 19 East towards town. By 2:00 pm, they had reached the Blanchard properties.

Although much has been done, still much has to be done. Trail 301 and trail 22 reaching the IP road needs work. Paul and Ron will work on 308 routing to trail 19. Valmond and Jean Patrick worked that trail last week but approx. 27 trees still needed to be cleared.

At the clubhouse, both drags were brought into the shop for much needed repair and maintenance.

Good news!

We were able to obtain new tracks for our John Deere tractor. Kyle Good, NBFSC trail manager, procured us with the much needed tracks.

A welcomed addition to our operator's crew is Gary White. He is an experienced heavy equipment operator and will quickly grasp the art of grooming. He received his first taste of the art by operator Paul.

We still need work. We still need volunteers.

Lets get at it!
