Faceman Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 We are Limited but i am told not to expect a lot of cooperation from some other clubs.So , next season when you go to buy...ask why? I understand farm situations but bush trails???come-on!!! Might have to pound a few stakes!. Mad Matt the Road Warrier and Mikey the Mechanic are out checking signage as I type.

winterules Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 That's why I always buy from your club one of the best around . The one problem about asking why next year is most of the time your buying from a permit outlet where the seller knows nothing about the operation of the trails .

Faceman Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 I just checked the OFSC and everything around OS north and west is open, except apparently Klondyke hasn't opened the rail line to OS (so you can't get here) and Sauble is yet to open (groomer issues) Speaking of groomer issues, ours got sick last night, front bearing. Scrambling for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I was just at Hepworth today and rode to Big Bay and then to Lionshead. There is no snow in Lionshead, nada, and a ton of road running from the 22 intersection up. The Yamaha ate 2 carbides and a ski. If you ride this area tomorrow, stay south of Wiarton. The majority of the snow is around Owen Sound, Hepworth and Sauble and actually better on the south of that line. Going up the highway, anything north of Neustadt looked good from the road. Plenty of tracks too. Looks like Chesley already pulled their signs down or they may have been able to open as well. Still plenty of snow on the trails when we parked at 7:30pm. Go for it, its worth the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Sauble opened and is grooming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were the new Tuner skis. I will be buying one new one and 2 sets of carbides. She is done for the year and headed for Florida this week. While she is gone I might try to sneak in just 1 more ride....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 That is brutal. Need to ride more when conditions are good. I average 6000kms on a set of carbides. I usually go a couple of years on a set. I did a search on Totally Yamaha and it seams everyone there says the Yamaha carbides are crap. Most say you won't get much over 500 miles from a set. That's what I thought was going on. At least the skis are cheap ($99). It will be Studboys for next season. Thanks to all the groomer ops and volunteers who put forth the efort to reopen these trails this late into March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
