ZR SLEDHEAD Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Stay off the trails during the warm up and rain to help protect the base they've worked so hard on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Sorry but you are preaching to the choir on this forum. The groomer went through my place early last night and trail looked like it was in fine shape to try to weather the upcoming rain since they are still closed. About 90 minutes ago 2 clowns go ripping through past the trail closed signs spinning and swerving as they went. You need to get to those guys not us.

Be nice to catch people who don't obey clubs orders to stay off closed trails. Most sledders that care about the trails do stay off when it is warm, unless they are on a trip and need to get home.

gobills Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Good thing is hopefully by Saturday morning things will be back in action. Fingers crossed for a big dump of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poo Man Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Yup luckily it's the end of the week and by Saturday everything should refreeze. Of it was a weekend the trails would be royally screwed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoso Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Every trail that will be in the thaw should be listed as closed right now. It will not stop all, but may help stop a few. it is just two days then more snow, we should be rocking again by Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorches Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I see on the ITG all the trails from Port Perry to Belleville are now red. They were all yellow this morning. Getting ready for the rain, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I think we are wasting our time. These are the same riders that ignore that the trails are closed before the season even begins, throw the empties in the bush or field and blow by the groomer and tear up the fresh trail all the while driving on the opposite side of the trail to get to it.

Meanwhile in Honey Harbour The ice in front of the Delawana Inn is typically never safe to ride and everyone avoids it. The deep freeze the last couple of weeks saw people running the ice at the Delawana late last week. Personally I still won't trust it since there are other options.

Diceman Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I was coming back from Royal in Guelph to Kitchener around 4:30 pm in the rain and saw guys crossing the trail by the nursery ...sad thing is those trails even with all the snow and cold weather still had not been open yet...

Viperules700 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Weather is changing again looks like all rain now into Saturday, which sucks. Snow is going fast at the current temp. Not going to freeze until later Friday. Might be no snow left after this weather event. Why does this always happen last 3 years. Last year same thing happened and we never re opened. Stupid Jan thaw came early again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greggie Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Well, it’s a tough call what to do. There is no real base this moment on most snowmobile trails. For me a real base is 2-4” of ice. Some years we have that and then the trails are really strong and stay long up, way longer then the fields. If you have no ice base, the trails are sooner gone then their surroundings. Yes to get an ice base you need to loose snow and get slush.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
