Two men who set out for a trip across northern Manitoba by snowmobile three days ago and had not been heard from are safe, RCMP say.

The pair left a winter carnival in Brochet, Manitoba, Sunday night.

On Tuesday, RCMP said the men's whereabouts were unknown. The two had told people they were headed for either Wollaston Lake in Saskatchewan, or further north in Manitoba.

"After extensive searching by land and air throughout the day both snowmobilers have been located safely," RCMP said in a news release late Wednesday afternoon. There was no word in the release about where the men wound up.

Before and After the Groomer

This is what the $70.00 you pay when you register your snowmobile goes towards. Also it pays for the signs and shelters. Not bad eh!

Groomer report for March 10, 2011

The groomer is running today March 10th from the Corning Shelter on trail 311A to Stoughton. Friday it will run from Stoughton to Kisbey on trail 311A. With the lack of fresh snow recently and warm temperatures coming we might not be grooming much more as we will just turn the trails into ice. Stay tuned for more details about the grooming progress. The trails are in good condition presently and there are a few small finger drifts to wake you up. Enjoy the trails while they last.

The trails south of the park were groomed on the 23 and 24th including 311f Carlyle up to the center road in park 311B, Carlyle to Kisbey, Arcola north to Center Road 311B, Kisbey north to the center road and over to the Corning Shelter 311D. Kisbey to stoughton got done today Feb. 25th

This serves as a reminder why groomed trails are safer as long as they are properly marked. I am presuming this happened on a unmarked trail. Slow down if you are riding in a area you don't know.
