skidoo700 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Question ???????-- Why is it that Orillia can open up their portion but Barrie can't.There appears to be the same amount of snow.Has the Barrie club folded or what ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giddy UP Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I am wondering what is happening with D8 as well? We have had allot of snow over the past 5 days - and still snowing......I thought that this area would at least be marked as limited by today - but it is still showing red. Perhaps White Dragon might update us on what the Sno Voyageurs are up to? Would be much appreciated! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white dragon Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 i know for barrie groomer to get to the railbed they have to cross a swampy area...should be good now though...as for why nothing else is open...not sure,will call to see whats up...i'm hoping for local run on friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giddy UP Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Yes - we were hoping for a local run as well on Friday - I haven't been out driving around for a few days because of weather - so I don't know if they have groomed the trails up our way in Anten Mills yet - they should be the first to groom as the groomer shed is just down the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidoo700 Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Looks like the Orillia club is the club to support ( What happened to district 16 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfuelburner Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 At my shop on 93 and Partridge there's more snow in the field now then there was all of last winter! Maybe it's a manpower issue... no groomer ops? The wind has blown some open field section down a bit but they would still be passable if groomed. Swampy areas are solid for sure. Frustrating we can't ride local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reved Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Maybe the other end of the railtrail leads to wet areas and wheat fields? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giddy UP Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Still showing "red" unavailable on the OFSC Trail map as of this morning . Mr. Giddy noticed that the groomer had been down B Trail across Hwy 27 south of Horseshoe Valley Road yesterday as he was driving - I think we will take a short spin out there today to find out what is going on It would be great if the Snow Voyageurs' website gave you an update on what was going on with the club like the ADSC website does. Not sure if that is possible, but would be a suggestion to the club to have somebody just post a brief comment like the ADSC club does everyday? Just my 2 cents I will report back on what we find/see when we get home later this afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidoo700 Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Typical for Barrie to drop the ball on info.Or is it because they see a slight chance of showers next week.So they say forget it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white dragon Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Typical for Barrie to drop the ball on info.Or is it because they see a slight chance of showers next week.So they say forget it i live on the north end of barrie's area,we only have 6'' of snow right now...doesn't make sense to groom any trails other than railbeds,they have opened some trails..

Drove past B trail at Horseshoe Valley - Groomed ...........drove past B Trail crossing Hwy 27 south of Horseshoe - Groomed. Looks like it is now groomed up to C junction now at least Heading out tomorrow on the sled to see how conditions are. Lightly snowing here as I type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Doo Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I would think it should be real close for staking., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oro Guy Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Our section of the B112B is in great shape. I've groomed it twice this week As for Couch we as a club require 10" of ice before we send our volunteers out to stake it. As of Tuesday there were reports of 6-8". Chances are it won't be until next weekend that anything gets done......assuming too the warm weather scheduled for next week stays away. Our trails on the west side of town are starting to take shape. Groomers have been out everyday this week. More snow would of course be much appreciated.
