  1. No there are 2 or 3. Easiest to just Google New Liskeard accommodations.
  2. Wow that first day is a big one given you are on brand new sleds in uninhabited territory. You guys have amazing faith in your new sleds. Enjoy your trip!
  3. Down again now to 1,155 km. or 4% of the trails.
  4. Too bad Bell media fired news and weather people. You could have been THE GUY
  5. I may be blind but I don't see the size mentioned anywhere.
  6. You shouldn't comment on things like this that you have NO real knowledge about!
  7. Only 3800 km. of trails left open in Ontario and those aare all yellow between Halibuton in the west and Arnprior in the east on Feb.8th!
  8. What part of Quebec are you riding in this year ZRT?
  9. Lake Huron is wide open at Goderich. The only ice is what was pushed up on the beach. There is still 2 Algoma ships hauling salt to destinations between Detroit and Chicago.
  10. The guy that owns JR's has been moving snow onto the trails with his JD loader and then Kenny has been pushing it around where it needs to be and packing it with the PB.
  11. One of my riding buddies blew the bottom case apart on an almost new Storm in 1998. Leaving Hearst heading to Cochrane one morning and just got on the first freeway stretch. I was following him and he wasn't up to cruising speed yet when a big cloud of grey smoke came out of the bottom of the sled. Towed it back to the dealer in Hearst where last rites were performed.
  12. God! Please don't let him know there are snowmobile trails in Canada! That dud e is beyond his expiry date.
  13. I wonder who they get to do the BBQ Chops???
  14. We were open for 5 days in our area and had lots of sleds through day and night. I was fortunate enough 600 km. riding from home on 6 different clubs trails all connected and yellow on the map. Thats almost twice as long as we were open last year. I closed the gates where the trail goes through a horse field across the road. Hope I have to open them again but..................
  15. You may already know this Soup. The current updated main wiring harness part # is 2411529 updated from part # 2411040. The 600 and the 800 use the same main wiring harness.

  16. From what I've been reading on Quebec Rider the further north (towards 83) you go the better but reservations are very hard to get.
  17. We likely had the current map to use in 2001 so your original comment was likely correct. I had thought we rode the west trail the last year or a year prior to it not being an "official" trail any longer but by this 2006-2007 map, the trails still showed.
  18. Thank you Ox! In 2001 we did a 1500+ mile loop starting in New Liskeard / Cochrane/Hearst/Wawa/Sault St. Marie/Iron Bridge/Rocky's/New Liskeard. We used only the Come Play in theSnow map for the whole trip. As I remember that map only had the western trail (which we used) on it but maybe not. It was an interesting trip. I started out with 8500+ miles on my 2008 XC600. I put a new track on in Hearst and rebuilt the primary clutch at The Shop in Lively. My buddy broke a ski mount on the hydro line north of Halfway. We Magiver'd it and got it replced in SSM the next morning. The dealers were great and we were only held up a few hours for each repair. We rode 2 parts of the North Channel on that trip as well. I had over 10,000 miles on the sled at the end of that trip. It got relegated to a "kids" sled and I got a new 2002 700 Edge X for the next season. Good memories.
  19. HEre are some pics from a "Come Pla in they Snow"map which was handed out for many years by a tour company from Spanish. This map has 2006-2007 on it but I believe the Lake Temagami trails (at least the one towards Rocky's had disappeared a few years before that. Pics are best I could do with my phone.
  20. I said that after I bought a leftover Yamaha Vector in July of 2012 LOL.
  21. Jackpine SC in Iroquois Falls has had at least one and possibly both their groomer broken down all of last week I believe. Timmins and Cochrane have groomed some of Jackpines trails at least once. Haven't seen any updates on F/B for a couple of days on Timmins and Cochrane F/B. No posts on the Jackpine F/B site since Jan.12th.
  22. Short story is that if the stump was on the groomed/travelled portion of the trail the groomer wouldn't miss it and in fact it may have been the drag from the groomer that took the bark off the stump on the last grooming. In Ontario each club was supposed to have someonne whose responsibility it is to look for dangerous spots on the trail and direct having it repaired and also go out to accident scenes and take information and pictures for use by the OFSC in defending themselves. I believe the position was called Orr's (sp). I cannot say for sure if that is still a requirement of the OFSC or not. If the Quebec clubs had a similar club job the lawsuit results may have been different.
  23. I believe that I had read a few years ago that Quebec has the right answer. For lawsuits up to a maximum $ amount (can't remember the amount) If you sued and lost, you had to pay the other parties costs. Too bad Ontario wouldn't adapt this system.
  24. In this case it only requires a sign at each end which states "follow road to trail" and possibly 2 small blue arrows at the turn. Rules of the road apply.
