Hi folks-
Does anyone have a pair of poles, about 135cm, that they’d like to get rid of? Give a call at 536-3533 if you do. Thanks!

Hi! We had a great ski this morning, and since they are a bit hard to find these days, I thought I would post it. We found lovely conditions (except for quite a few low branches to navigate) in the woods to the left of the Trans Canada trail at the very north end of Midgic. There are miles and miles of woods roads in this area and no skidoos or ATVs have been on them. Ski the TCT from where it intersects the Midgic Road just past the T junction in Midgic, or turn right on the gravel road just after the TCT and park at the very end of it. Ski across the fields or on the TCT. Turn off to the left on a trail that is at first quite burdened by branches (it gets better, but never completely good, you have to enjoy a certain amount of bush-whacking!). We’d be happy to lead a group ski if there is interest.

Happy skiing,

Karin

Hi everyone!
Still looking for skis for our kids, especially our six year old … approximate sizes: 120-140 cm skis, size 12-13 boot, 90-95 cm poles. Call me at 536-2187 if you have any you’d like to get rid of!

Thanks for your reply. We found the maps and had a great ski on Jan 1 on Twisted creek and Crooked tree trails. We are hoping to get out again today. I went for a short ski after dark yesterday on open fields in Amherst. The conditions were great (like Spring conditions), better where there were no tracks as you could glide anywhere with minimal sinking. Joyce

Joyce, Reservoir Trail I think is referring to what has “officially” (i.e. via a heated debate and extensive polling at one of our Potlucks) been called the Twisted Creek Trail-Park by the Reservoir Gate and pop down the the wee decline to the west and you’ll see the signs and maybe even a ski track.

Cold and windy but great! Broke Crooked Tree trail and the short loop of reservoir trail. Whoevery is going to Reservoir trail bring a saw to clip a number of young deciduous trees who have decided to bend over the trail.

Snow is a bit dense since it is wind driven but with a few more people on the track things will be good.

Green wax day.

Hi;
Sackville Marsh, past the municipal garage, is good for skiing.
The lane is OK for skating, at least past the first fork.
The marsh is good for classic.
Snow! Hooray!

Sackville to Joggins is about 50 km direct or 70 km via Minudie. Could be a good ride out, a meal & a tour and then return by car if we can arrange sag wagons. Those who want shorter rides could drive out and cycle a 30 km loop of Joggins, Minudie, River Hiebert, rtn.
