    Do you need a Snickers or something ?

     

    BTW .... would you please remind all of us where the aforementioned piece of trail happens to be, and who owns that particular property ?  Thanks for that.  Don't pi$$ on my fence, I'm electric.

     

    Really? You attend one training session and this makes you entitled? I think that attitude is kind of what we're talking about.

  2. Interesting thread, especially when I read a post in another thread from a member who says that a section of "red" on the ITG wouldn't stop him from riding.

     

    If you're a volunteer with a club I think it's imperative that you (we) lead by example. Every Driver Training class starts with an introduction about the OFSC, the club, what we do and the behaviour we expect from them when they hit the trails.

    Lol thanks, and not a chance... I enjoy sledding to much... 

    Good. You know how I worry about our volunteers. And as Safe Snowmobiling Ambassador I feel obligated to nag a bit....

     

    Have a great day on the trails. I think they're getting ready to make the L123 available....

    I'm riding around Kap and Moonbeam tomorrow if you wanna get in on the Shenanigans Claire .... 

    Would love to but both sleds are currently out of commission. 

     

    Behave yourself. Don't be the lead on the 6 o'clock News....

  5. I'm still trying to figure out why this thread was moved to this section of the forum. The thread was not started by a member of the KSR. To the best of my knowledge I'm the only one from the club who has contributed to this thread and I'm just a grunt volunteer.

     

    It was my understanding that this section of the Forum was for club and/or district people to post info for their specific clubs.

     

    Why can't this conversation continue on the Main Forum? 

     

    Jus' wondering....before I take off in my steam powered aeroplane.

  6. I can't be bothered to get involved in the "crown land" vs. "private property" unavailable trails argument. 

     

    I doubt the folks who are riding now launched their sleds directly on crown land. I can almost guarantee that between their house and said crown land, they've crossed several properties that are privately owned. 

     

    Pack a f***ing folding saw and give the club an hour of your time, for crying out loud!!!!!!!!!!

    Well, to be fair, how many trail riders have a saw or axe on their sled?

    They may have brought one if they knew it was like this, but if they knew it was like that - they likely would have stayed home.

    So that cuts both ways...

     

    There is a writ on this very subject in the front of the current issue of (I think) SnowTech. 

     

    Me and my boy took a pass through - what I believe is known as "Trail 7" north of Wawa a few years ago and there was deadfall everywhere!

    We cut our way through quite a bit, but started running out of daylight, and Shirley someone with a chainsaw could make 5x the progress that we were.

    I don't know if we were almost through the worst of it, or just getting to the bad spot, but we did clear many fells.

     

    I later seen it posted that they had gotten that trail open - maybe a year later (?) for the first time in many years - because it was all fell in!

    LOL!

     

    There was this day in 12/99 that we did ride on through tho. I'm kind'a of the mind that much of it really wouldn't need cut down tho? With the guards on the groomers, I would think that it would knock the snow off of them and they could start to retract, usually after the sun comes out tho... ??? This was between the Cow and Montreal Rivers I believe. It was the only spot like this that I can recall. Actually - this pic may have been taken when we stopped for an oncoming groomer up from Searchmont. They were however cutting the sapplings too. Prolly better in the long run?

    "Back in the day...."

  8. They are in the process of buying a brusher to help with this task.....not sure when they'll be taking delivery.

     

    As you can see in the pics, tracks going AROUND the downed trees.....grrrrrr. A little help would be nice. Cutting a branch or a limb or a small tree here and there does not expose you to liability. Riding a closed trail does.

    I'm out of sledding effective today. It's been a great winter, but I'm getting too old for this sport.

     

    Slomo is buying my 550 Polaris as a retirement present for his wife. He's overlooking the questionable fuel economy, and wants to get back to a good old two stroke machine.

     

    Nunz will be picking up my 1200 Ski-Doo on the weekend. Age has finally caught up with him, I guess. No more two strokes in his future.

     

    Sledjunk has finally capitulated and made the move to Cat. He'll be picking up my ZR9000 on his way home from Cochrane.

     

    I never thought I'd say it, but I'm sick of sledding, and will probably be going south next winter.

     

    Mark this date on your calendar.

     

    Wow. I did not see that coming.
