St Norbert Trails: Kevin’s New Groomer

So Kevin Braun (stalwart groomer of the St Norbert Trail Loop) has done some more innovating …

“Last year I was able to just use snow shoes to keep St. Norbert groomed.  This December was epic for snow, so I built pull groomer, 17″ wide, good results, but a little narrow.  So, now we’ll see how the 24″ wide version works. Total cost, less than $20.”

Looking like good ol’ corduroy! 🙂

Well done Kevin!

St Norbert Trail Loop: Marty joins Kevin with Drag Grooming

I noticed that Marty Roy has stepped up recently to help groom the short loop of trails out at St Norbert.  Kevin Braun has been very active with snowshoe and manual drag grooming on the St Norbert Trail Loop for a while, so great to see Marty in action.

Here’s a few pics that Marty had posted online:

Well done Marty!  Let’s hope we have a bit less new snow and some cold nights to set the track firmly.
