    Out of curiosity, why would you trailer to Cochrane ?  I'd ride that day right from New Liskeard .... ???  Same thing coming home, Chapleau down to Liskeard ...

     

    We tried that one time. Got started out ok, but got caught with heavy wet snow  before KL. Made for a very, very long and miserable ride, had to shut it down in Kap.

    I haven't been the same since,LOL.

    It would have been nice to know before we all bought Permits for the year! It all came to light after Dec 1st! Pretty sneaky on the OFSC part!

    As unfortunate as this is, there are many volunteers who have spent many, many hours, days and weeks getting ready for the season, and also have to buy their passes.

    How do you think they feel?

    And no wonder they removed how many actual km’s Of trail is open, a few years back. Now we can’t see actual number no more.

    Yup, best to remove a trail off ITG if there is no hope for the season, especially if it hadn't yet opened in the first place..

     

    Those people on that particular page are more of a detriment to the clubs, districts and ofsc cause than they will ever realize. 

    Yukon, i know you are very involved in your club and snowmobiling in general, and are respected here, and by me as well.

    I agree with taking the trails off of the ITG as well, but more for the touring riders planning a trip.

    Won't do much if anything to prevent many of the locals who know where the trail is/goes to, unfortunately, and seemingly don't give a crap or play stupid, claiming that they didn't know. Even as they managed to get past a closed gate or two. At least that's what I have seen.

  5. Well it's obvious that the trail was put in the wrong spot. (Sarcasm on).

    Maybe next season, the ones who know where the trail "should be", can put the pickets in, after they kiss the landowners backside while begging for permission.

     

    Funny, you put in a corner, quite likely for making the gradual turn with the groomer, but they find a way to straighten it. Yet give them the straightest line and they go off trail. 

    I dunno.

    The directive we are hearing is that any trail that does not have a valid land use agreement can not stay on the ITG.  It must be removed. You can not leave it closed status indefinitely. 

    We had trail from 17/18 come up on the ITG in 18/19 season that we were not using or signing.

    Our request to have it removed from the ITG was to take 30 days, which sounded crazy in the first place, it did not happen.

  7. Not just in D12 Soup.

    Sad to think, that after all the crap that the volunteers have go through to get trails available, brushing, signing, meeting landowners, club meetings and then go brushing again after heavy snow/ice storms, all the while using their own trucks, trailers, quads or sleds, saws, fuel for all the above, all out of their pockets (at least for me and the guys I volunteer with) that this BS with the insurance/permission wasn't looked into months ago. They screwed this up in '16, and got a bunch of trails closed down for awhile, some never reopened. Why the hell would they do this again??

     

    I'm tired, guys I volunteer with are tired, wasting our time and energy, and money for what? Brutal.

  8. I usually only ride into Pembroke, but have seen many trucks/trailers parked at the back of the Irving's Big Stop, just off of Highway 17. It is located at intersections of trails 120/122.

    I don't recall where the guy in the garage occurred. There is an award each year for the dumbest lawsuits that succeed and that was one of them. The other was related by our loss prevention manager at work

    Hahaha, I remember hearing about those as well. Also the one where the coffee from McD's was too hot in the drive through. "Supposed to be hot, but not that hot"

    We had to reluctantly move our sleds on Saturday (closed trail) so that people out riding could go around us in the opposite direction.. the only good thing is we thought since they got through, there must not be as many trees down in the direction we were going... :wacko:

    I'm sure it was better going after that, they cleaned up the trees as they came through....... right?

    Yeah....... NO, didn't think so.

     

    Been there. A-holes come same as you had, and without a pass to boot.
