Re:Leaf Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 ^^ great news yammahappy. You are right we deserve this weather and "snowmobiling" needed this weather. We need more people passionate about snowmobiling and this season will definitely help. Thank you volunteers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildbill Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Yes it has been back to the way it was . I hope all the dealers sell clean of non current sleds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aar0n Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 the value of used snowmobiles on kijiji went through the roof. when i bought mine used last year in port dover, everyone was ditching their sleds because of the horrible 2011-2012 winter. Now, my sled is worth signoficantly more if I sold it today (but I wont) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 A great winter, indeed. We're heading up to Parry Sound for a ride through North Bay, points east. Father and son. As good as it gets. Thank you mother nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f3 800 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 the meltdown a couple weekends ago killed most of the snow here in southwestern Ontario....now everything is frozen hard as a rock again but not much new snow with it...gotta head north I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Doo Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 It's been a good year. To all the naysayers that cried about the no snow. Get out and ride. Look how many Km's of trails that are open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumb was frozen after 20 miles...One of those days where you are afraid to open it up and pop a piston, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viperules700 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I think this year has been crappy for southern Ontario! Why do we always get 2 feet of snow followed by a huge 5 day melt a few days later and then super cold weather with little new snow! I have 200kms so far. By the weekend things should improve and hopefully the new snow stays for awhile. The temps in the west make me nervous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfisher Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 600 miles so far for me, Heading up to Havelock next week should put me over 1000 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty Pockets Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 south of the 401 has been about same as last year for snow, nadda, just colder. Hope by Saturday when she goes back together, there is enough snow to test it around the farm. Then have to put her in the trailer to the great white north.

Faceman Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Crap..Here we go again. All of Bruce Cty Roads are closed due to drifting and heavy snowfall. It took our groomers a week to clean up the last mess. Sledded around Sauble yesterday. Bush trails were fantastic, field trail didn't exist (blown over) ..follow the stakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dweese Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 The lake effect machine was working overtime here last night... Woke up to an easy foot of fresh powered outside today and it's still coming down. My club has been full green for 2 weeks (first time in two years) so the riding was already outstanding, this is going to make it even better..
