I was about 20 kms south of Whitney on saturday, came across a guy a gen4 sled who didn't make a turn and went straight into a tree, he was laying on the ground and his friends were starting a fire while waiting for assistance, machine was destroyed, engine was touching the tree. Looked very very bad. Be safe people, almost got side swiped a few times while doing the rap over the weekend

There was a fatality not long ago that's pretty sad. A young guy switched sleds with someone in the group,he took off ahead of everyone, rode a good 1/2 hour,stopped for gas and had no clue where the rest of the group was. He started riding back and finally came across the wreck. It was his dad

Provincial police are investigating a snowmobile crash in North Frontenac Township on Tuesday that claimed the life of a 41-year-old Ottawa man.

Police say the crash occurred at about 3:40 p.m. when a snowmobile driven by Charles McLeod struck a tree on the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs trail E.

The site is about 110 km southwest of Ottawa.

First responders from North Frontenac Fire Department and Lanark County ambulance attended, but the driver was pronounced dead at the scene.

Just east of my place.  Always sad to hear these type of accidents.  Sledding is an off-road, uncontrolled and largely unregulated hobby.  These events will continue to happen; however, overall we are relatively safe in the sport.  Keep right, pick your spot, then give it and keep your head up......that's it...Cheers

A snowmobiler who went missing Sunday morning after falling through the ice on Lake Simcoe near Orillia has been found dead.

Emergency crews were called to an area known as The Narrows on Lake Simcoe in the municipality of Ramara at around 4:30 a.m. after reports of two men screaming for help.

The Orillia Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police said they were able to rescue one of the stranded men. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

A search commenced to look for the other man. The OPP Under Water Search and Recovery Unit and an OPP helicopter were called to assist.
