02Sled Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Just watching the Barrie news. Lo and behold, the first of the season. Emergency crews attended a snowmobile crash near Coldwater on Town Line Rd. He was rushed to hospital after his snowmobile rolled over. Why oh why can't people be patient.

revrnd Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Talking to my friend that I fixed the recoil adapter for on Thursday. He said a guy had been bugging him to look @ the clutches on his '92 Safari LC. I said what's the hurry we've only got 2" of snow on the ground? "he's got his trails to groom". Then I got to thinking today, that the guy would probably wind up as a statistic as he lives on a dead end dirt road. When he got the sled back he'd probably have to take it for a rip.

Absolute insanity! The wife and i were there at the end of march in 2016. I couldn't believe it, but there was a guy riding the east shore in Port Perry. The lake was wide open except for about 20 or 30 ft. from shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02Sled Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 Oh well so it continues. Barrie news leads off with the snowmobile trails in the Wasaga area being open limited indicating they are not ideal. Then quickly show a snowmobile buried in a marsh where it went through some not so thick ice. Nobody was around and the OPP are now waiting for someone to come forward and claim the sled. Then they show the tracks of sleds going across the ice of a small lake and mention a 60 year old man going through the ice and now being treated for hypothermia. At least there weren't any casualties in the news. They round it out with... stay off the rivers and ice. Keep safe everyone. Your family wants you to come home.

You know the ones where if you go in the in the spikes are angled in the right direction and bend down. If you try to go out the in without paying the spikes puncture your tires. I saw someone do that once. Popped all 4 tires on the car.... a whole lot more expensive than paying for the parking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First lake to freeze usually. Kids always cross near park street and get off at far end near highschool. I see them ride river portion too.

stoney Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Lake Simcoe on the Keswick side has tracks heading out into the bay, there are also tracks on the river under the Queensway, plus there are tracks on the river where #11 crosses over it near Timmies...... Some of the sheets of ice that are collecting on the Innisfill side at the shore are actually thicker than I was expecting them to be.....I'd say about 3", so ice progress is good, just not so sure all that safe yet.

DooDette Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I know they are skating on the river - a friend send me some pics of her kids. She's just south of the Queensville bridge. I'm sure there are some tracks there too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sledders wonder why the general public think we're morons. I'm surprised they didn't have 'Guy Smiley' on. On the bold, "Hello! Wouldn't the sled have registration numbers?"

I was actually surprised that there was not more tracks or people that I could see out on the ice. I am sure that 5" is not consistent across cooks bay.

Bigfish Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Over 4 inches of ice on the bay in Rice Lake in front of me. A neighbour who is usually the first to cross it, bought a Sidewinder this year, so I'm expecting tracks going out any day now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
