Made the trek. They apparently have a policy to only cater to residential customers and as such are limiting the max purchase to 4 bags. A bit useless. Gonna be a while I guess until salt arrives.

I did but a large customer ran out of their own supply and I am trying to supply them as they are having issues obtaining salt. Bulk purchasing not available for a month. Current shipment from sask is all purchased and reserved for highways.

GEFS run is T3 approved.

Consolidated heights and being the E axis of the ridge means plenty of dry weather. Hoping to see the EPS latch on.

I expect it will. The one constant with weather is it is always balanced. One extreme countered with the other and an average in between.

We've been trucking in from Alberta. Got the heads up before Xmas.
Not this again.....This is the 3rd time in our history of doing snow removal... 14years.... We go through a lot of bulk in a night. 80-100 ton :wtf:
Its defiantly stressful when it happens..

I thought people would appreciate it for the reflective ice aspect.
