Now we're cookin with gas. Top trails are open from the Soo, all the way north and west to Marathon and Manitouwadge, and all the way to the Hearst and Northern Corridor. There is a red section or two between Chapleau and Timmins, to fully connect the Big Loop. Keep an eye on the ITG for further updates. Ski -
I wish I never sold my 2002 MxzX440 race sled in the zx chassis. I had it stretched to 136 with a 1.25" track no studs. If I would have thrown a 700 twin in that, I probably would still have it. It was a fun light sled and had plenty of tight trail power. Just light on power for the Northern Corridor stuff. I LOVED my 2001 SRX. I ended up stretching that to 136, and when it was over, it had a 2" mountain track on it. In trail trim, with the holzman tempaflo on it, if I wasnt into the fun flipper and just cruising, I could get close to 20 mpg's. That was pretty impressive for the time. Ski

I received a text from Jeremy at the fishing moose lodge last night, he was going to take the bully with no drag, to pack from there to the Dubreuilville limits today, and if all went well, he would take the drag the next day. There has been 1 pass on the D trail from White River to FIshing Moose. I saw the itg has the d108a limited from dub to hwy 11 now. There was a sled accident that closed the trail near the old Bambino's truck stop near 631/hwy11 yesterday. I did not hear what happened. Things are starting to open up. Now we need people to ride and frequent the businesses that help make this happen. Good to see you check in @matt17 It's been a minuite since we shared a trail, and some fishing. I hope things are going well in Wawa for you all! Ski -

Snow is adding up, more yellows and greens showing up around Wawa, Dub, Hornepayne. It is looking like we are almost connected north and south, we just need to connect west and we will be whole. Unfortunately there isnt much help from White River to Dub. We have one bridge that cant be crossed with a groomer, and really only Jeremy and Cynthia at the fishing moose lodge are the only ones working on that trail. They really need some help and support. We may head up to shovel out, and get a ride in, later in the week. Ski -
Thank you for coming back, and following up on this. Glad it worked out for you, and the new Doo. Ski

Highway 17 has been closed from Soo to White River almost everyday this week. Inland we didn't get enough to write home about. Club is brushing, packing, signing, and even grooming local stuff, to gauge when and how far to go to connect other communities. I heard they groomed to the Kabi river, where we meet Hornepayne but, haven't confirmed it, and not showing on the itg yet. Wawa has land use permit issues, ice issues on Wawa lake, and snow depth issues, to fully connect their systems, from what I have heard, saw. We have a big system coming from the south, along with 60-80kph winds. The road will close for sure. I will keep an eye on cams and report back, later in das week. Ski -
Didnt you know, Trump ended global warming his first day in office... massive snows in the southern U.S from Texas to Florida. LMAO! Ski

Be aware, we are almost straight west of there, and our weather and temp forecast is very different. I hope this doesnt make it to you and hurt much. Ski https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/53966aa21a5ca4b3c857c1f21a2f36db567ca73bcc7f5b436ce1958720de03d6

Ah, I thought you misinterpreted what I typed, and was trying to re-write it for better verbage. I misinterpreted what you typed. I needed the "sarcasm" sign Leonard gives Sheldon on the Big Bang Theory. :D Ski

I wasnt disagreeing with you, I was pointing out, some people from the states still dont have their permits yet. Has the postal strike completely ended on your side yet? I know at one point they were forced back to work around new years start but, stated they wouldnt be servicing the states at that point. Ski
-
That was the point I was making. With almost nonexistent permit enforcement, we are doomed, to having many people ride knowing there is a good chance, they wont be caught. This needs to change. I too am a land owner that allows the ofsc trail on my property. I too volunteer with the club, I have my certificates for groomer operator but, havent had the on equipment training yet. Ski
-
Due the postal strike, I know people from the states, who havent received their early bird permits yet. Ski
-
Permit enforcement is going to haunt us. Non-hardcore or "real sledders" are not buying preseason savings passes, to see if we get rideable, groomable snow. When we dont, they saved money, when we do, depending on if it is early or late, they may roll the dice, and ride dirty (no permit). This hurts the all in sledders, volunteers, the clubs, districts, and finally the ofsc. Ski

Very sad indeed. Thank you @revrnd for coming back to honor him, and update us. I have talked to him via chats on here, going over conditions a few times, I believe we met at the Novi show with Sledjunk once as well. These forums gave us friends, and helped us live vicariously through one another's adventures. It is sad we are losing our friends as we age. I hope the trails are smooth, and the wind is in your face my friend. You can now head out for a rip with Sledjunk, and beat us all to the fresh snow, and freshly groomed trails of the far north.
