Got this off of the Almaguin (Burk's Falls, Kearney area) website today.

The Almaguin District Snowmobile Club Homepage

This extensive trail system offers mixed riding experiences with scenic tree-lined trails, frozen lakes and breath-taking views of snow-clad hills and valleys. The local businesses offer a variety of products and services catering to the needs of the snowmobiler.

Going out after lunch with the packers on the Huskys and see what it is like. Will likely let it settle and wait for some frost to get in and freeze wet spots. Will be out in full force on Boxing Day, also our Centaur shows up next week to pack the swamps!! With a bit of luck we will have some trails open for next weekend!

Looks like we may have gotten 8-10 inches of snow last night, to windy to tell for sure. Definitely looks like winter this morning -8C and still snowing and lots of cold weather next week. Will start to pack and get trails ready as soon as things settle down. Lots of area bush road and winter road running for the holidays. Stay Tuned!

Checked the trail guide this morning and Centre Hastings SC has 40km of trails posted as limited.

E106 from hwy in Marmora up too Lingham lake area and their club trail the running from E108 up in to Madoc and up to E106. That's right at my Dax's house so I may have to go for a ride once I dig out this morning.

I thought that is why you are on the west side. Thanks for the update. Really enjoyed my ride down the trail last winter.

Set up trailside with carbides for sale as they come off the trail for the day. Good for business.

Just checked the trail map, and it has a trail from Kawartha lakes to Kinmount listed as 'Open' (green). How is this possible? when places like North Bay, or Parry Sound dont even have trails listed as limited? Is there a different standard to meet farther North?

It's the Rail Bed. There's no swamps, huge rocks, etc.

I also belive that the ATV club takes pretty good care of this, so as long as there's a base of snow and it's packed...open 'er up.

[XtremeLegend500]

Oh ok, that makes sense. Anyone been riding their yet? Or planning on going?

Ganny is posted as limited as well today.

The south got more snow than the Parry Sound area

[XtremeLegend500]

Whats the base looking like in Parry Sound? I looked at some pictures of MacTier on the weather network for the winter of 2008, and there was snow above stop signs!!!

I went to cochrane over christmas and it was fantastic

Snowing again today

Take a look at dist 6 most clubs are slowly getting trail opened . We have lots of snow . Our big problem is burn out we have trees down all over makes the ice storm look like a picnic. Clubs are getting heavy equipment in to go ahead of groomer with men to clear trail. Anyone interested in helping I know Eganville Sno drifters are going to try again saturday jan 5 to get the top e102 open . Last try was 8 1/2 hours to go 10 miles on this trail most of that was old rail bed .
