2fast4u Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hey everyone, Our group is looking to ride from Listowel to port elgin this weekend (if trails are open). I know that Port Elgin and some of the areas near there are getting snow. can anyone tell me if Listowel had gotten any snow and other areas like Hanover, Brussles etc? if we half to we will just drive to Port Elgin But hoping to ride and stay for a couple of days. Any info would be great. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viperules700 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 i wouldn,t hold your breath I live 40 mins south of listowel. Doubt it, if they got the snow. Streamers haven't Been reaching me yet and normally we get the tail end of them. Probabily not coming this far south west yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave K Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Streamers are coming in now, visibility is poor at best Not a lot of accumulation yet, but hard to tell cause the wind is moving so much around. Closer to Port Elgin has bee hit harder since yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viperules700 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Faceman reported 27" in owen sound, in two days. Dark north of me now and windy. Hopefully listowel gets hit, so I can ride from there later next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylegs Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I live 10 mins east of Listowel near conestoga lake and the plowed feilds are only partially covered. Need one of those streamers to stop over top of us for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any word on the trail status in the Port Elgin area,,I know they got a ton of snow,just wondering if they have had enuff time to determine trail conditions or if a groomer has been out yet?

nlewcock Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I was in Kincardine, Port and South Hampton gor business yesterday. Got hit incredibly hard. Well over two feet in surrounding area of port. I didn't see any signs of groomers on trail crossing. Definitely enough snow to get a lot of the trails open along hwy 21. Toward Hanover, still got hit, just not as hard and looked thin in the fields as I drove through heading home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mossy Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Could be a volunteer issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperules700 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Could be a volunteer issue? Tranny went in the groomer. They are trying to get a replacement transmission. Heard maybe a neighboring club might groom the trails to get them open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookster Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 no it`s not volunteer, or thinking no snow again, just the plain old crap happens , they are working hard and doing best to resolve problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faceman Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Lucky2, you are such a ray of sunshine..Ports groomer has tranny issues, can't predict that! Not sure whether it will be running by the weekend. They are in the midst of getting a replacement before the weekend, I wish them luck! Everything is going good otherwise, watch out for water in fields folks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
