Blackstar Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 These areas are showing limited conditions. Anyone know if its worth the drive tomorrow or should I just stay home? I'm not interested in riding dirt, rocks and snow but if its semi-descent I'd go tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamski-doo Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I was wondering the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledguy74 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I know Fergus is more to the east but when i was driving through there this afternoon it was very thin, no sled tracks anywhere maybe a lake streamer passed over to give them more snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave K Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 A co worker lives on the southern edge of that area (Kurtzville) and said they are not too bad considering what they were on Wed night. Streamers sat over there all day Thurs and Part of Fri. They got maybe 15 inches from reports I heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viperules700 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 t thanks, maybe I will check it out. thI imagine the base is thin. Should be decent by next weekend. Palmerston got a huge blast of snow a few days ago. Can see the snow labels increase as you head north of baden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viperules700 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 has anyone been out in this area , Was at conestoga lake Friday. Just driving thru. They had maybe 8" of snow on the flat. Palmerston had about 1 foot. It was real fluffy snow, so I imagine base is thin and ploughed fields will be rough. They need one good snowfall yet to make it fair. With all of the traffic, I wouldn't waste my time going yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 has anyone been out in this area , just got back, don't go to Conestoga Lake, there is nothing there (if it averages 1 inch of cover on the trails, I'd be suprised. Rideable snow starts around #23 between Listowel and Palmerston, (east side of Palmerston is very thin) and on up to Gorrie. There is more snow to the north and west but these trails haven't seen a groomer. Stakes and signage is down and there are large areas of water. By next weekend I would imagine we will see more areas open as the trails get more cold and attention. One last point, from intersection 629 to 523 to 516, this section of trail has not scene a pass with a groomer because there is no snow there to groom. What critiria is there for opening a trail? With liability issues these days I would think that a groomer pass would be manditory in the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrightonalan Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 just gott back myself,conestoga lake is junk but listowel and palmerston not bad but we need more snow,put on 200 km . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperules700 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 This year there seems to be very little critera. Even some green trails in near north last weekend were green and had very little snow on them. Sad really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viperules700 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I could just about imagine how Conestoga lake trails would be! Yeah and one guy thought the lake would be ok, it only went up by 8 feet. At least he was able to get to shore by himself. The machine is still in the reserviour.
