Baylaker Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I believe the north is getting a good storm today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason T Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Snowing here now, suppose to get 15cm. Getting cold toward the end of the week. Some of the bigger water crossings may not open yet. Lake Wahnapitae still red, we have been riding under it on c/d (around it) Was on Nepawassi on Saturday, about 10" of ice, and 6" of snow on top. Some trucks were pulling out there ice huts. The smaller bodies of water have decent ice. The Groomer went past Yesterday afternoon (D trail) East of the City. This snow will help smooth out the trails for sure. Link below to see the groomers if it works, check it out. https://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0qIOqWqYfMncPh5IFYU3EcSEMd1062UX3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledjunk Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Do they groom anywhere near that location? Stayed at Chateau Guay last year and no grooming within 20 Km either direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club is holding an emergency meeting this Thursday (Jan.10th), 7pm at the Capreol Arena (upstairs hall), 20 Meehan St. in Capreol. If you know anyone who can help the Capreol club out, please pass the word!! If the club folds, it will affect the following trails - C, 55, 62, L, 64, C11D, 65 - the area outlined in pink in the picture below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is on the trail, has gas and a restaurant. Basic motel, but it is in the woods more and less and will suffer any warm weather less than the Valley Inn which is in a built up area. Would be bad to drive all the way from the Buffalo to have poor conditions. https://www.windylakemotel.com/ Pics from last year on the Moose Loop: Groomer leaves motel and trail through the parking lot.

Curly Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 X2 for Windy Lake Motel. We staged from there last Thursday. Fuel, food, accommodations, good people and the trail comes through the parking lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soupkids Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I did the wolf loop Sunday, has only been groomed once. Was excellent. I also rode all over whanapitie as well. Difference for me is I know the lake, been riding it for 25 yrs and I have GPS tracks for it. Snowing like hell here, going to take a couple days to get things groomed.

Basketcase Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Hey soup, How did you guys fair from the storm? My app said you were getting 15-25cms by this morning. How much snow do you currently have in the bush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sevey Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Another questions for you Soup. I noticed there is small red section near Hwy 17 (by Royal Distributing). Was planning to drop at the boat launch on Ramsey and come out at Moonlight beach and link up to the trail. Do you think there is any reason to be concerned?

We are staying at Valley Inn. Thanks!! This image is from a computer in Toronto ( just trying to be helpful ) .... but I'd say the current groomer activity is in your favour for a Valley Inn stay ( Soup would know better ). Limited routes 'tho. You're staying just south of Blizzard Valley on the image below. As you head west your other hotel choices are : Nortland Motel ( Chelmsford ) ; or further west at Windy Lake Motel You're in good hands with Campbell ( I mean Soup ) & https://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0qIOqWqYfMncPh5IFYU3EcSEMd1062UX3 Happy trails.

Canuck Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 PS..when I mentioned limited routes above it's because there's not much open south of Chelmsford...a route we like to do during our multiple day stays . The good news is that the Cartier Moose loop is open ( 225 KMS ) - though C115D is closed, head up thru Val Caron instead..Trail 51; Soup mentioned the Wolf Loop ...and more trails are likely to open. One lesson from that area.. follow your stomach If leaving Valley Inn or Northland Inn after just a light breakfast at Tim Hortons, consider heading west and eat lunch early at Windy Lake or the gas station in Cartier ( Kelly's Dinner * ). Try running the Cartier Loop clockwise. We've always run it counter clockwise....as we rolled thru Cartier late in the day, I swore to myself there are the back of some trees I gotta see next time. Firehouse in capreol is a lunch stop if heading counter clockwise ( fuel nearby if necessary ) but it's off the loop. Cousin Vinnys in Hanmer is on the route. Keep both in mind as I sense you'll be doing figure 8's in the Sudbury area ( all good ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soupkids Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 All good options mentioned by canuck. Nunz and I are riding a modified wolf loop Saturday. Sudbury south may be yellow by the weekend, maybe green even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
