Spiderman

Looks like lots more yellow in the area - which is a great sight to see.

Have done the RAP more times than I can count. Hoping to do it with my kids one of these years. RAN as well Both are great trips when conditions are in order.

That's a tremendous write up on this individual. Could use more people like that in this world. Condolences to his family and friends

Quite a bit where I am - had to clear the rink etc. at 11:00 p.m., 2:00 a.m. , and again at 5:00 - and calling for more all day today. Had about enough of it to be honest

I just put 32 miles on going up and down the lake and in a field with my newly licensed 12 year old son. What a way to spend a PA day. Complete total fun - nothing like it to be honest.

no chance

That looks better than some of the trails that are "open"

Standing by to video would likely meet the gross negligence standard and eliminate the defence under the Good Samaritan bill. Gross negligence is the standard under the bill, not regular negligence. but to the point, you will need to defend your actions on that turning point. Either way, the obvious thing to do is try to help - but don't be surprised anymore when you do - it comes back to cause you an awful lot of turmoil and grief, enjoy going through examinations with an aggressive Plaintiff lawyer I see an awful lot of ridiculous stuff on a daily basis

It is, and after 22 years of handling Casualty Liability claims, I'm very very jaded - but with real world perspective.

We can never seem to win in District 7. We have a lot of low lying wet/swamp in our area. Usually - we prefer good solid cold before too much snow - which almost never seems to happen. This year - we finally got some good cold before the snow - but since then - very little snow. I love sledding - but I really hate having to depend on weather

Hoping for some good news in our area by the weekend, otherwise looks like we're trailering a little further north.

I honestly couldn't imagine the stress they have gone through. Let's get to the other side here and spend some money in these much needed places!

Nice try. There is nothing preventing someone from naming you in a Statement of Claim. You can choose to defend and try using that as your first line, but you're getting served.

Oh, and for Nutter and the other OFSC people on here -the on-line driver training course - although very long and let's face it, CAN NOT replace in-person, is done well. I have my complaints - but it has some very good material in it for youngsters. My son is finishing up and is learning quite a bit - my hope is he does not turn into an asshat. cheers

Take the picture and identify the rider. Have landowner provide affidavit he did not give written permission for said person to be on the property. Have ticket issued

Yeah, but is it the biggest ticket/fine - because it would seem to me the focus is on assigning $ and a subject line to the ticket that supports ........

Speaking only from my own observations, the enforcement I have seen via the OPP has really been more focused on licence, val tags, ownership and insurance checks, which to me, really, doesn't do much of anything to deter reckless or careless riding - which is what is leading to the demise of trails. Landowners aren't closing trails because a guy didn't update his val tag, or doesn't have a drivers licence, or didn't purchase a pass either. Trails are being closed because of idiotic driving habits/actions. I have seen the odd radar out there- pretty much only on the Seguin, but aside from that, I haven't seen anything in the way of enforcement which would do a single thing to "save our trails". To that end, I also don't want to see too much of that, because if I had to cruise at around at 50km/hr or less all day, it would not be enjoyable and I would probably just ride the lake anyway to have more fun, without the limitations. It's pretty much an impossible balancing act Just my own 2 cents.

True, but it needs to come from within too. We can't expect Police and/or people with enforcement power to be everywhere at once - catching people riding off trail etc.

Seems a bunch in here is are jaded. I guess further to my point before - if you're seriously that angry and pissed off about it - then quit. Life is too short to spend it being pissed off and angry. You really have one of two choices A. Stay in - do what you can and what you feel is right for the activity ( understanding you're efforts may fall on deaf ears - but you SHOULD be able to lay your head down at night comfortably knowing you made an honest effort ), enjoy the great days you do get to have and learn to be okay with it - while it's still there to enjoy...... or B. Quit - sell your stuff - quit - and have nothing. I know what it is for me My sled has come out of the garage less than 10 times in the last 5 years - but it's still there - it's ready to ride, and it will always be there. I don't envision a day where I don't have a sled - even if it's at a point where all I can do is grab a hand full of throttle and go down the lake - that never gets old for me - it's like I am 12 again every time I can do that. Good luck on your decision - but choose wisely and in a clear frame of mind.

yeah, no way, stay out of it and stay anonymous. 2 years from now you'll be getting served with a Statement of Claim.

Good stuff. Can't imagine trying to run a business reliant on weather and being allowed to actually be open. Support those people!

Un-called for and completely disrespectful, no other way to sugar coat it. Don't let other peoples piss poor actions drive you away from something you love though.

My daughter was out on the lake and in a field yesterday - snow looked good. We're heading up this weekend for some riding - can't wait!

Was going to head up and try to ride lakes and fields this weekend - but going to give it one more week. Will Muskoka even get open this year? come on mother nature - throw us a bone here

My assumption is our area is in a similar state - and it isn't going to snow at -30......
