PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I think that there are clubs in marginal snow area's that should consider closing based on the weather reports. We had brown showing through the trails last Sunday and with the diligent work of the groomers, the trails last night were looking pretty good. It is +3 C. right now with thick fog and yet all kinds of sleds out givin'er as they get across the road crossing. It is a best guess decision to close or not but conservative measures now might mean we still have some base by Monday. If the sleds keep rippin'er up tonight I'm afraid we will be closed for some time after the rain if it comes. On the otherhand................

zoso Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 ATV riders will see closed trails on crown land and go for it, leave them open, no sledders want to ride in the rain, and the trails will see very little traffic today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aar0n Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 Paudash has closed their trails. I WISH MSR WOULD TOO!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildbill Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Closing trails is not easy. If it was just as simple as entering it in the computor it would be done. However really if you are going to close trails you should post trail closed signs at every entrance . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killer Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I WISH MSR WOULD TOO!!its only +2 in Dorset with nearly a meter of snow on the ground. But from your house in Toronto, with all that experience, you think the trails should be closed. Rrrrright Settle down Aaron, trails will be great for your next ride.

XtremeLegend500 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 +6 and pouring here just North of Newmarket. just under a foot left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Light rain here all day, foggy and +4*. I heard a couple of sleds braaping around down the street from the house. I wonder what moron would think that today would be a great day to go riding? Maybe they're on a RAP tour & have a room booked tonight that they can't cancel?

slomo Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Kind of a light drizzle in Parry Sound North West. Tons of snow since I last visited before New Year's. Good day to clear the roof. I am lucky ms. slomo really likes snowshoeing ....our wood pile is some distance from the building and the driveway (people kept backing in and helping themselves) and snow is deep.

revrnd Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 This just in on the noon KRUZ news "The OFSC is asking sledders to stay off the trail during the mild weather to prevent damage to the trails."

This should've been broadcast on Thursday or Friday! this makes me quite upset and annoyed. Like I said when I started this post, they should have closed the trails. Not the ofs but indivdual clubs or even better districts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
