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!

Found this pic from Ontario storm watch up in mckellar

Well we are finally getting it in PS. I had to go to US on business and the wife called it. “You go away and we will get smashed” I guess I need to out of town more often. She is pissed lol

Buzz words of the month, Reality , Realist , Realistic . How about get Real and go for a ride . Leave the feathers at home they will only get ruffled . See ya in the corner .

Listowel-Atwood open

Getting that squall in port sydney now. White out on the hwy! Tip of the day-Do not sit in the turn around on hwy 11 at Stephenson rd 2 with your 4ways on waiting for the snow to slow down. Retards just begging to get smoked by a plow and cause a major pile up🫣

They don't share because that would cause people not to go. This is why I will never support. IMO they are unethical.

My wife got tired of leds going out on whole strings, (this is our third time putting completely new lights on the barn), so she bought high end commercial units. You can cut, and splice the lengths, remove and add light sockets, and male and female ends for custom correct length applications. In these units, the led bulbs are replaceable too so, no more whole strings going out for no reason, and no way to fix them. You can choose the color of bulbs you want, or choose the changeable colored bulbs, with a programming module. We tried everything, fuses, replacing bulbs in every socket, etc... Nothing would get the bad strings running again. These have been pretty stellar, they have been up for 7 months, we have had 2 bulbs "go out" I tapped on them, and they came back on. She didnt even opt for the extra bright, and these are off the charts. I swear the Canadian Air Force knows when these come on, and could call the Township stating they detected a launch of some sort. LOL! They actually have a brighter bulb option. LOL! These throw a 30 foot halo around the building now. She waited until they ran a sale, and bought enough to do the barn, and then some. They regularly send her discount codes for 20% off. Ours are red and white only, we did that to pay homage to the Canadian heritage colors. It really looks good in person, many towns people tell us, how much they love what we did down there, to clean up the site, and make the barn, river area look nice. Ski

Yup lol. Our crew has been hard at it. Still working on the wet areas. They are super insulated right now.

One of the boys from work were saying they saw the groomer on B near Bass lake last night.

Orillia District Snowmobile Club was out packing B112B this evening.

Lmao, you totally beat me to that. Just a realistic approach I know, right @RAMSOMAIR lol

Also not helping the lakes freeze, that have not already froze over.

I’d like to replace the lights on my barn. Can you ask Mrs Ski where she bought the new lights from?

I was told that Milverton was intending to start packing on Tuesday. Elmira/ St. Clements has packed last Saturday and has been doing some work in the Linwood to Conestoga Lake junction. Rumors that Conestoga Lake & Palmerston may have some open by the weekend. As of Monday there was no frost in the ground anywhere a groomer hadn't packed in the St.Clements and Wellesley areas. There was stilll a few wet spots and some really rough plowed fields. We really need one more dump to get a lot of area trails open.

Had a look at the map - surprised to see how little has opened up in the far north - getting there - but man - it's mid January already and so much red. Come one yellow and green!

I started at the other end. Trying to head out the other side toward Sauble beach today.

Coming in from the north, you will have this, guiding you home to Dubreuilville. Ski

Yes. I saw the tracks on B headed towards west ridge from the Railbed trail.

My uncle lives there. No frost in ground. His creek usually frozen solid it's wide open. He said clubs haven't done anything yet that was a few days ago.

Nunz seen my last post and said hold my beer! Lol

Gotta be realistic, and a better weather person, than is in the media. Sorry If reality ruffles feathers. Ski https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/605066c069b670e8a4ebad306705a8dd6b25d52a8734d7ea13836ba6c03fa32f

Groomer sighting - Collingwood lowlands and B trail on top of mtn.

Living a couple blocks from Georgian Bay and a stones throw to Lake Huron, we very seldom get accurate weather. "todays forcast" Look out your own damn window.

Was that really necessary .

And this is why I would like to live in the Kearney area one day, the community there is incredible! thanks for sharing!

Great news to see rail line open from shelburne to Owen sound

I'd bet baysville opens first in D7. Also they have a new warm up shelter!

Took a run from OS to to Holland Center for a shakedown. New to me sled and I pretty much had it stripped down at one point. Stopped a couple times to inspect and all is well. It got run hard on the return trip. The trail is a railbed so pretty boring with the exception of a couple opportune chances for some air. Some gravel worked to the top in a few places that are protected from weather. Still a blast after taking last year off for cataract surgeries. Wife made me sell becuase apparently I'm to stupid to stay off it. Whats she know. lol

looking a little more like muskoka this morn

Groomer just rolled through our place. He will have at least one pass on 90% of his assigned trails by midnight. A goood days work.

Blowing horizontally in kincardine . Had to get out and spin the new sled and track on backroads / ditches.

Still snowing in Haliburton. Nice to get out for a ride.

1" in the Sault Overnight.

I do. I keep putting them out but they won’t run away or get hit by a car. Miss my Great Dane

My reaction tomorrow morning when I look outside and see we only received 2" of the 20" of snow we were suppose to get

And then another warm up and rain coming, next week for central great lakes region . Central lower michigan calling for 30s-40s and rain, for several days. Showing above freezing temps from the 22-30th. Ski
