  1. Haven't been up there in a few years unfortunately but we always bought day passes in the past, sometimes a couple times a season. Unless they've changed something you pick them for the days you want them. The days have to be sequential and a minimum of two. If you bought them for that Sunday regardless of what time it is, it's effective for that whole day, even if you bought it in the afternoon. You'd need another one for Monday.
  2. That's too bad. The bookface post seems to say they are taking care of the place so hopefully that means there is still some hope.
  3. Any news on halfway haven this year? I assume if there isn't any news at this point, they aren't going to be open. I hope the clubs can keep the trail open. I'd assume that is a lot of effort to groom that without a stopping point
  4. Are you saying you carry it in the container it comes with but then tape the lid? I'm always scared those containers won't hold up. Ive used the MER 30 oz fuel cans, but they are pricey and I don't like that the cap is horizontal when you store in the sled. Seems like it's just one user error away from making a big mess that way...
  5. Are you supposed to tell them everytime you move it? My sled is in several difference places during the year.
  6. We ended up going to NW Wisconsin, mainly due to the storm. We would have been able to get to Wawa by mid-afternoon Thursday, but I wasn't sure if we would have been able to get back Saturday with all the fresh snow and I didn't want to take a chance on that. NW Wisconsin was awesome as they got the same storm but a bit earlier. No traffic and tons of snow. We'll hopefully be back in Ontario next season. Thanks all for the input and answering questions.
  7. Got it. Yeah we'd pay the small fee to leave the truck and trailer at Carl's quite a few times.
  8. Haven't decided anything yet, except we are driving somewhere tomorrow. Our sleds and trailers are parked just south of Lake Michigan. Right now I'm thinking about going up to MN or NW Wisconsin instead. They got hammered with snow last weekend. Used to ride out of Searchmont once or twice a year but haven't gone since COVID, so I was really looking forward to it. I enjoy northern Ontario a lot more and it's an easier drive to get there, but I'm starting to be concerned about conditions. I see Luc is out grooming all over and that area looks good. If we go Ontario, I'd be leaning towards starting in Searchmont and then staying in Wawa, accessing it from the lake trail, or maybe Dubreuilville, if rooms are available. I really like the trail going out to Marathon, and we've never done the part going up to Manitouwadge, but if the trail is closed we won't mess with it. Could go up towards Hearst after that or the other way out towards Longlac but that looks like it might just be a straight away for most of it (we've done the loop going towards Hearst but haven't gone West on A before). Or could just look for places to play between or around Dubreuilville. We're not too picky and like the adventure and low traffic of Ontario
  9. Looks like this trail is red now - I assume because of this.
  10. From the OFSC online map, I got 153 miles going from Driftwood to Wawa using Wawa Lake, or 150 running D into Wawa. Sounds like we'd better off going into town off the lake?
  11. Thanks so much for the details. Did you run the 180 miles from Searchmont to Dub on the cat 800 with only the 3 extra gallons?
  12. Can you get in and out of Wawa now? I've been following the jones powersports snow report.
  13. Thinking about driving up on Wednesday the 15th. If we go to Ontario, we'd either ride Searchmont to Wawa, or drive to Wawa. Looks like 2 hours more in the truck to Wawa compared to Searchmont. Thanks for sharing this report about trail conditions. From the maps it looks like 150 miles from Searchmont to Wawa. Without much recent snow I think we could carry enough gas to safely do this.
  14. That's a good point - I didn't think about Searchmont being a 40 minute drive. A big part of the fun between Searchmont and Wawa is some of the places to play. With limited gas all that would be off-limits.
  15. Curious how many people are going to ride out of Searchmont up to Wawa without halfway haven this year. I'm thinking through how much gas we'd need to carry to do it. That's one of my favorite stretches of trail.
