Thanks to the efforts of a Boultbee Road skiing enthusiast, residents have been enjoying some terrific cross-country skiing throughout March.  Pulled behind a snowmobile and with family members perched on top for weight, the track setter leaves two near-perfect ski impressions which makes skiing – especially for novices – much more enjoyable.  Wind, snow, slush and inattentive sledders are continual challenges for keeping the trails open but keen skiers will do their best to maintain the trails as long as conditions allow it and non-skiers keep off the ski tracks.
