While true, it would be interesting to know why they stopped grooming that section. There is lots of snow there.

Got home last night after 4 awesome days riding up north. Everywhere was very good to awesome, except that yellow section around Iroquois Falls. We came south through there on Wednesday evening and that section hadn’t seen the groomer since the Sunday snow. It was rough, but tolerable. Around Kirkland L was awesome and Cochrane to Kap was excellent. Overall, awesome conditions for April riding

Does anyone know conditions on these trails over the weekend? We are thinking of launching from KL area and heading north from there. Thanks

We are doing this route tomorrow (actually leaving from Paudash). I keep hearing reports that we will hit many ungroomed and washboard trails. Does anyone have up to date trail conditions from Sunday, or suggestions for route which had seen the groomers recently? We had planned to go via Whitney but we can bypass it if recommended. Thanks

The 503/505 across Mississauga Lake are shown as red. Does anyone know why, and if it is marked and safe? Thanks

Has anyone on here ridden these trails since the last snow dump? Just wondering what the trail conditions are like? Thanks.

Thanks alot Coldfinger, that offer is greatly appreciated. However, it looks like my plans for today have been changed on me, so no sledding😂. Thanks again

Any advice on where to park for a few hrs tomorrow in the circled area attached? I have to go to Cambridge tomorrow to pick up sled parts, so I'm thinking of towing the sled along for a few hr running on some different trails. Thanks.

Has anyone ridden the green trails around Exeter Bayfield Goderich Lucknow recently? Just wondering how they are holding up. Planning to ride there on Tuesday/Wednesday next week.

For me, I keep the level in that bottle on the low side. On my 1200, it will burp out coolant and make a mess if I add more.

We rode Belwood to Mildmay Listowel and back today. Took a chance it would be OK after the fresh snow this morning. It was fine, but hit some hard drifts in the afternoon due to the flat light. Ate at the pub in Mildmay, it was quite good. Does anyone know if these D9 trails are likely to see a groomer by Tues/Wed?

Anyone got a trail report for this area from the last day or so? Thanks

Thanks guys, for all that great information. One more related question; Which is a decent budget motel/hotel in Cochrane where we can safely park a few trucks/trailers as part of our first/last night accommodation?

I rode from Superburger up around Singhampton and New Lowell yesterday. First 20 km was bare and rough, it got a bit better after that. Still glad I got out there Regarding MOJ’s, is this a new initiative this year and why was it introduced? Are the signing delays mostly associated with the trails on public land, roadsides and road crossings? Thanks

I'm planning a trip for 6-7 guys in late Feb. We will be in Hearst for 3 nights. Does anyone got good suggestions for motels/Airbnb in Hearst where we could base ourselves? Thanks

I'm pretty sure I rode 109 to Creemore last year. Why are so many MOU's in all these southern districts still unsigned in mid January?

So, does anyone know if the B109 from Orangeville up to Hgw 89 is likely to remain closed all season, regardless of snow conditions?

Tim, isn’t that the Mono cliffs provincial park? Several parallel routes through there. are the B109 connecting trails to that park likely to appear on the ITG this year?

I rode 190 km in HF yesterday. Definitely not recommending for the fair weather sledders. Fortunately I’m not in that group yet, so I had a great ride. More than half the trails were fairly rough; either mild washboard or rutted from sled/quad traffic during the +10 last week. A fair amount of exposed rocks and bare spots, but most of these could be ridden around. Not many water cuts, and were easy to cross. I had my old carbides/ski on, I probably would be less happy if I had the 2024 carbides installed it was icy, I had the scratcher down pretty much all day. Any time I put it away, the engine temp immediately jumped from 70C to 90. Some trails were bad and some were good, unfortunately I do t remember the names of the bad one. A great ride, glad I got out.

Thanks Stonehaven, that's' the info I needed. Your feedback sounds consistent with the video. Looking forward to hitting snow/ice/snirt/rocks/dirt. At worst, its just a waste of time and money, LOL.

They are open

Thanks for the video., my buddy ZR had already mentioned that video. Given that I want to ride, the base looks pretty decent in that video, LOL However, it would be good to hear from someone who has actually ridden in there. I'll probably go there tomorrow regardless. If anyone wants to come along, let me know.

Does anyone have first hand knowledge regarding trail conditions in the forest, from yesterday and today? Thanks
