I read a post on FB from scottyR saying he had spoke with Brian and Kathy at Westway. Their response was that they are honouring reservations prior to lockdown but not taking any new bookings from us “southerners” until the lockdown in the north is over. Taking a lot of heat from locals on the issue apparently
We dropped in Tillsonburg this morning.... all I can say is thank goodness for a malfunction!(not on my end) Wasn’t terrible first thing but boy did it turn to mush pretty quick!! Couldn’t imagine how mucksy things would have been by this aft!!
I’m planning to go and check things out tomorrow morning. May go and drop in tillsonburg/courtland area. Certainly looking for some first hand reports.
If the trails open, and stay open, how do “they” honestly expect people to not travel to where the snow is? People have copious amounts of money invested into this fabulous sport, and to be told stay home?.... I just can’t see it happening!... and for folks in the accommodation industry..... are they really going to tell people no stay home???
Well I ended up with about 16” in total. Really wet and heavy. Was great to see that much snow for December 1. Managed to get a few hrs of riding around with the kids on the old doo!!
This will be season #2 for me w mine. Kinda liking it to be quite honest... I just put a bunch of sausage or pepperettes in it last year for everyone! Seemed to go ever well..... I always bring plenty of other stuff as well
Why bother wasting riding time??? Bring your food w you for the day!...if “these” places are so sought after... go there at the end of the riding day!... when it really counts!!
Very nice gesture. I wish my dad was around so I could do the same for him. Hopefully I’m around long enough my children will do the same! Nice sled btw!
enjoy the season! I’m eagerly waiting!
Wasn’t much but I’ll take it. Found this gem hiding inside a customer’s shop earlier in the summer. 600$. 2 new plugs and some fresh gas and it fired right up. Needs some tlc but otherwise rideable!
Obviously someone touched a soft spot with you on this. I applaud all volunteer’s across the board! Sometimes it just doesn’t work as a permit buyer to volunteer as much as one would think. I on the other hand do what I can without being asked... such as a quad ride through local trails to brush things back.... saves them from doing it and we gain a bit more “room” in the corners!!
I do remember riding in late November of ‘08. In fact I rode my sled right down #2 Hwy to my cousins place and doubled him to the dealership to get his sled so we could go ride. (It helped that he works there)..... sure would love one of those years!
I am in the most southern part of D5 which is Glencoe district snowmobile club. The trail is less than 5 mins from my house. I buy permit every year and put it towards my local club. I ride from home when possible but trailer to wherever I have to go. It’s just the way it is and I have no problem with it for a sport I enjoy so much!
