    I hear ya. I have a cottage in Huntsville and have yet to ride up there ( obvious reasons ). I did receive a trail update from my local club saying “ The ASC Team has been busy getting trails ready for the season. Depending on the weather, etc we are probably still about a week away from opening. “ . This was dated Jan 27. The last few years it’s been a later and later start. Lakes haven’t been freezing over like they used to and snow hasn’t arrived as early as it usually did. I Never got out on my lake once last year ( not staked ) . I am not complaining, because, I don’t! I have simply put my sled in the back of my truck instead of leaving it there ( which has been the norm for last 25 yrs lol ) and bring it home to gta. I have been lucky enough to get out and enjoy about 700 k of the southern district ——- so far,

    I got out yesterday as well. I started in Erin and went north to Orangeville, then looped up towards Creemore. There are some very nice trails in the Mansfield and Creemore area! Lightly snowing most of the day. Railed south from Dundalk was smooth whole way down to Orangeville aside from some minor drifting in spots. The wind was blowing pretty good so there were some rocky areas , not to many though. Groomer was out south of Orangeville but more snow is needed especially in bush as previous poster mentioned.
  6. Haha must of missed you in the parking lot at Linwood.. I left from there as well. Very accurate report.

    Always nice to bump into fellow OC’rs on the trail! Today, Rode from Linwood , north up to Mt Forest and loops around Palmerston and Listowel. Conditions were pretty good. Some rough patches though , not enough to stop me from going again. 😉
  8. Started the day in Orangeville and rode the rail bed up to Owen Sound. A nice 200 k day to kick the season off. Seriously , I couldn't believe how good the conditions were considering where we were at 2 weeks ago! Great day of riding and maybe saw 40 sleds through out the day .. no to busy at all! Nice flat trail and a lot of snow , especially as u get north . Get out and enjoy!
  9. Thx for heads up. I will try calling Winnipeg , but as Ski said if no result will bite the bullet. As for troubleshooting, I have 4 batteries. All work fine . Light comes on and I can change the settings, just no heat. Also , one glove stopped working 2 mos ago and the other last week.
  10. Looking for some help here. I bought FXR heated gloves approximately 3-4 yrs ago from Royal Dist. Just recently, they both stopped working. Can’t figure this out, I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary. I called Royal and they passed me off to FXR. I tried calling them but they are in Quebec and no one could speak English. Luckily my daughter was home and can speak a little French . I requested someone call me from the company who could speak English. I never received that call . I then sent an email outlining the problem I’m having with my gloves and I never got a response. I really don’t want to fork over another $400 ! I really like the gloves. Am I unrealistic to think that these gloves should last longer than 4 yrs? Would anyone have any advice on how to possibly fix them or possibly know where I can take them to get fixed?
  11. Sorry, I’m just looking at itg, shows part of Penn red . Maybe it is staked but keeping it closed?
  12. I see Lake of Bays is now stakes as well. Any update on the rest of Penn and Fairy lakes status?
  13. Yesterday made the trip to Baysville….well worth the drive! And apparently in the knick of time as I see trails have closed. Rode up to Dwight . Did the 65 loop which was awesome and 64 out and back to kawagama lake, which was even better ( freshly groomed and no traffic ). I found the conditions to be really good especially after last weeks warm up and rain. Yes there was a few shady spots ( very few ) and the trail softened up as the day went by but seemed like plenty of snow and todays warm up really shouldn’t be that damaging . Lakes were great to run. ( see pic of Dickie and Raven Lake ) and for what little road running there was, some roads still covered and others you could grab enough of the snow bank . With 10 cm 🤞🏻 forecasted tomorrow and colder temps I’m hoping to get up there soon again. See pics attached
  14. Hey Steve, would you still recommend coming to Baysville area ( tomorrow , Tues ) for a day trip? You seem to have your finger on the pulse. Trail conditions after this weekend? Road running? Any input would help. Thx.
  15. This is a pic I took of Fairy Lake on Thursday. Doesn’t look very promising. With that said , my wife saw 2 sleds go across last Saturday ( cold snap ) .. crazy in my opinion. I rode the route SF6 mentioned on Wednesday. From Baysville - Dwight and trail conditions were excellent . How it held up after the rain? I don’t know? I did ride across Dickie and Raven Lake, both were staked and hard packed along stake line. Talking to other sledders at lunch they told me tracks were out on Lake of Bays ( not staked ) . I stuck to land trails and staked lakes.
