They are clearing the snow on the roads to get to the pipeline right of way to do some reclamation. They will try to make sure that they do not leave any snow banks where the road crosses any snowmobile trails, but they may not catch all of the trails they intersect.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL when riding in these areas. I will be attempting to contact the club directly and provide some maps, but this is a heads-up for now. If anyone has any questions, they can either reply here or can pm me and I'll try to help with more info. I don't know the area personally, but am in contact the the contractor doing the work.

This maybe my first post, but I "attempted" to get up SMR yesterday @ approx 2 pm, and could not get more than 1 km up the road to the tower. Heavy haul trucks had the roads blocked, and access was restricted. Today (Jan 31/09) maybe another story!
