Grooming Operations Status

On January 10, 2015   /   Feature, Trail Conditions, West Carleton Snowmobile Trails Association  

Argo GroomerIt has been a long and frustrating wait for all of us, with the Christmas thaw and long time to rebuild our snow base. Things are looking better, but we still need some more snow. Trail packing has started up again in some areas with the Argo but more snow is needed to fill the ditches and cover the fields. The fields are wind blown and bare, with the plowed fields being the in the worst conditions. All of the grooming equipment is prepped and ready to roll as soon as the snow comes, so we need everyone doing a snow dance so that we can get them out and get the trails opened!

WCSTA Working Together with Ottawa Fire for Improved Safety

On January 9, 2015   /   Feature, Media Release, News and Events, West Carleton Snowmobile Trails Association  
WCSTA working with Ottawa Fire Services to make locating riders on the trail faster and easier

West Carleton Trail patrol co-ordinator Scott Hamilton meets with the rescue snowmobile at Stn 63 in Constance Bay, providing them with up-to-date maps

The West Carleton Trails Association and Ottawa Fire Dispatch have worked together to have our snowmobile trail maps online with fire dispatch.

This means that in case of an accident on the snowmobile trails the rescue snowmobiles of Ottawa Fire can be dispatched with greater accuracy. For example if a snowmobiler calls in that an accident is on trail number W17 the dispatcher can reference the trail location, and send emergency services to best location.

Just before Christmas West Carleton Trail patrol co-ordinator Scott Hamilton and equipment manager Paul Asmis met with the rescue snowmobile at Stn 63 in Constance Bay and provided them with up-to-date maps. Trail patrol is looking forward to partnering with the rescue crews during snowmobile events this winter.
