steve6 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 https://ofsc.evtrails.com/# East of north bay looking yellow, but you want guaranteed head to New Liskeard/Kirkland lake, tons of guys reporting Cochrane area is great right now. Around lake of bays starting to go yellow, I believe we'll see some dwight and dorset stuff go yellow by the weekend as well, possibly. I got fucking Pneumonia at Christmas, i have not even started my sled since before then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the sleds are ready to go thanks to wildbill. Take care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around here the rail trail is yellow from Fenelon to Haliburton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't know how the rail line can even be open after that rain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't know how the rail line can even be open after that rain The rain froze up pretty good and we got 4-6" overnight. Plenty of sleds on there yesterday and today. I went by the trail a few times today and it looked ok. My buddy just got back from Que and put on 1100kms on his new sled. He said trails we excellent but that means you'd have to trailer there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poncho Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 From where you are head over to Pembroke area things are shaping up nice. My place in Griffith got some snow but not ready to ride yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reevester Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 More snow in the forecast. I bet some trails open in the northern area of the MSR and maybe a near north club too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had 3 friends return from Cochrane who said the conditions were minty. They posted a bunch of pics on FB and things did look great. Quite the hike to go sledding but I think when they left, those trails were mostly the only ones open during that time? Personally, I'd check out Ontario Conditions for trail conditions/info as most there update regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw some pics on OC and the trails look great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtybeacher Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 This past weekends storm has put down a rock hard layer of dense snow here in Wasaga. If we get the snow forecasted this week, I could see it going yellow for the weekend. Groomer has been out as well. I checked out the beach run yesterday and it’s almost unridiable, most of the locals are using the backroads and parks roads to get around.

Should be lots starting to open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just booked a cabin in Mattawa Thursday and Sat, riding to Pembroke for Friday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtybeacher Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 If it opens here, I suspect it will be a bit rough, and although we are generally pretty dry, that torrential rain from the weekend will cause some problems. The forecast is setting up for some system snow, lake effect and cold. I bet a week from now it’ll be a whole new ball game. Can’t remember a worse year for snow here in at least a decade.

smokin george Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 The VRT was groomed and a few have gone by already. It'll be a shitshow on the wknd if some other closeby areas don't open up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irv Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I keep hearing about snow on Saturday but I don't hear if we are suppose to get 1 cm or 30? https://weather.gc.ca/city/pages/on-149_metric_e.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
