It's been a lot of "back and forth" discussions with LTGS in this past couple of days. We have just received an update indicating that with further discussion with Indigenous Leaders on the North Coast, and hearing local concerns, it has been decided the trail from North West River to Mulligan will be maintained by the Groomer for the season. North Coast will not be groomed while in Alert 4.
Thanks for your patience.

Groomer Program is started for the season. The first run, as far a Sabbie, is scheduled for Monday, and further when ice thickness is determined. As outlined in this year's protocol, due to COVID Alert level, there will be no grooming to the north coast until further notice. Priority is to be clearing and marking, with grooming secondary. Let's hope for a good season!
