Not exactly, it is at risk of being closed unless you can justify the trails existence. Its not an immediate action. This was discussed at length at our club meeting. In district 5, its not hard for us to go 2 years without sending a groomer down the trail. It also means that a club could send the groomer down it once and keep it active.
I believe this to be true. Our club Glencoe, has had a hard go at things for the past few years, yet here we are and have been out staking. Unfortunately, now that we are in the borderline of some snow, our groomer has been transferred up to the Elmira area I believe.

For the first time in my 22 years of buying a yearly permit, I find myself very hesitant to do so again. I am in the most southernly point of the trail system in D5….. for years I have supported and done whatever, wherever,
however to help my local club. The snow has been lacklustre to say the least in the last 5 yrs. As much as I love to load up and go for a day, wknd,midweek,
or week long trip!…. It’s just becoming too much of an expense. Gone are the days of me leaving w a crew from my doorstep and riding up to Exeter, Grand Bend, Goderich etc!! ….. not too mention a few stops at the ol grain bin Inn, for those of the Mitchell area!😉….. that seems to be my starting point anymore, and it hasn’t been the most pleasant in the few past years but I’ll take it!

I was working and missed HGR meeting saturday but i was told the town of Huntsville wont sign.
In my 25 years of sledding… I learned quickly in my first trip “North” that Huntsville is completely anti sledding! We were not well perceived in any way and since then have had zero desire to spend my money there

I hear ya on the spine crackers.
I still wear a kidney belt when I am riding - not sure if it helps at all other than in mind - but we do what we do - it's a physical activity and is what it is.
I’ve worn a kidney belt as well for as long as I can remember. Was just natural to wear it for Motocross so felt the same for sledding. The odd day where I haven’t worn it….. not so good!

Is that Jens old sled?
I am not in a huge panic but I am definitely keeping my eyes open for a nice 600X or something comparable for $10K. All my buddies are getting rid of their sleds and I would have ridden more this winter if my dad would have come with me. My mom wont let him buy another sled but he is always up for rip somewhere.
I seen on marketplace a 600 ski doo, think it was a 22 for $9000

Fairly light for me as well considering the conditions and crazy ass weather. Close to 1000kms so far and I’m done. Just got back from a friends in Bancroft area… had to trailer out of his place even w logging and closed trails. Once in the bush things were decent. Just Not worth the 10hr drive to Cochrane when it’s that busy.

We dropped in Atwood Saturday morning and on trails by 9am. Great day overall. Decided to try and stay away from heavy traffic areas. Most trails were great in the AM. By time we looped back down around, things were getting fairly tough. Good day all around. Little over 300kms on the dial today. Also hit this milestone today. Bought the sled new in 2012. Motor hasn’t been touched. Still has around 120psi each side.

I haven’t rode c101 d In years. But my uncle has a place close to it to east of parry sound. I let you know after my first ride 😎. Usually the area gets lots of snow which makes for some smooth scenic trails.
From what I’ve gathered over your last year or so of posts is that….1 you have rode minimal
miles/kms since ‘06,
and 2… you clearly have no clue of what hell you are talking about!… I’ve enjoyed the entertainment you’ve spewed over the years here, but….. time to cash out bud!

Any road running on that run? Looking at this weekend and debating what to do. Was thinking Kirkland Lake, but hotels are filled with kids sport teams. Maybe Elk Lake. Didn't know if Sudbury would be too far south to start.
From the reports I’ve seen… things look dam near mid season Elk Lake area! Can’t beat staying/staging from elk lake wilderness resort!

To the bar baby!
Only way to break em in!!…. Or so that’s the way we use to do it with the ol dirt bikes…. Could basically rebuild between moto’s! Lol!!……I remember a friend of my dad telling me a story at his funeral about how they rebuilt the top end of an old 340
polaris in old hunt camp they were staying at. Picked it up and turned er sideways through the doorway and set er down beside the wood stove….. they had parts bc their bud owned/operated Polaris dealer.. circa mid to
late 70’s..early mid 80’s

No. That was not me. My dad and I had a car dealership called Ross Rocher Sales, that sold a lot of cool stuff. In our hay day I was bringing Bass Boats up from the USA in the summer, selling 100-120 used sleds every fall and then moved onto importing Husqvarna and Gas Gas motorcycles into Canada. It was lots of fun. We sold the property in 2012 to Loblaws to build a No Frills and my dad retired. I am a Realtor now but still dabble in that stuff as a hobby.
I remember that place. Definitely lots of cool units through there over the years. Always remember seeing your ads in auto, boat/bike rv trader. Every time I made it to Stratford I’d stop in and have a gander.

My season is over as well but for a different reason. I sold my sled and it was picked up by the new owner today.
That didn’t take long. Seen it on marketplace. Beautiful machine and very well priced.

Parked the sled at cottage. 3100 km for season..so far 😀 I did not go on an overnight ride or travel from home base. Was a great winter for me. The cost of a permit is peanuts if you are able to get out and use it.
Planning to get a couple day’s riding in yet in Golden BC before end of month. If I’m lucky get back for a few days of late season play before Easter.
Support your local snowmobile club!! Hats off to the many volunteers in all aspects of the organization that make it work. Cheers.
Nice cottage!!

Wonder if a more dense foam costs more money than and it’s just a cost cutting measure.
They all cut costs wherever they can. Only us as avid real time users notice the deficiencies
