slomo Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Just posting a few OFSC communications updates that you may have missed - November 17, 2014Snowmobilers reminded that it’s still not safe to start riding - Even though we’ve been blasted with snow, snowmobilers are encouraged to wait. The Ontario Federation ofSnowmobile Clubs cautions snowmobilers to keep their sleds parked for now for safety’s sake. OFSC spokespersonCraig Nicholson explains that snowmobiling can be dangerous at this time of year and what still needs to happenbefore sledders can safely head out.Nicholson asks sledders to keep their sleds parked for now.Nicholson says grooming operations have not started yet, so no OFSC trails are available to ride and all access totrails private property remain closed. Snowmobilers are also reminded to stay off public roads and farmers’fields.http://cklp.moosefm.com/news/snowmobilers-reminded-that-its-still-not-safe-to-start-riding/#sthash.Y3FbeLnm.dpuf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slomo Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Or some you may never have heard of - November 24, 2014OFSC getting ready for the snowmobiling season Even though Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs trails aren’t open yet, this week is Get Ready for SnowmobilingWeek. (eeh?) Spokesperson for the federation, Craig Nicholson explains what it’s for.Nicholson says getting ready for the season takes time and isn’t something that should be done the night before. He explains the things you can be doing to make sure you’re ready.Nicholson says they haven’t started grooming trails because water on swamps aren’t frozen and neither is theground. He explains the best thing for the trails right now would be if all the snow melted and there are acouple of weeks of freezing temperatures so the ground could freeze before more snow falls.This week is also the last week you can get a discount on trail permits for the season. To buy a trail pass, orfor trail information, go to the OFSC website.http://cklp.moosefm.com/news/ofsc-getting-ready-for-the-snowmobiling-season/ -------------------------------------- If anyone else has found some communiques of interest, post away.

02Sled Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I vote groomer guy to take over that role. He is by far a better ambassador for the sport. He is exceptionally active in his club and in it for the love of the sport. Not how much money he can make, how many freebies he can get and more.

Domino Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 He is far from a Spokesperson for Ontario anything. Who decides this crap? They should know that he is not respected in the snowmobile community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave K Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Tough gig he has going. Intrepid snowmobiler in the winter, and Intrepid Cottager in the summer. How can I get a job like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02Sled Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Does he even pay for the gas for his sled? I saw him at the AGM in Ottawa. Is he a voting member of a club? What did it cost and who did it cost for him to be there? I know I paid $60 for my wife to attend the Saturday dinner with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slomo Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Just looking thru the latest GoSnowmobiling mag. Someone had posted about OC being mentioned. I found the bit & I hope folks don't lump, Luc, me, Bbakernay, Yukon Cornelious & Nutter in w/ the subject of this thread. Nah, don't worry about that revrnd...Ned Nickerson has declared himself: dah dah Expert advice on Ski Doo tours, snowmobiling destinations & gear from Canada's foremost snowmobiler! See it here if you find it hard to believe..... http://www.intrepidsnowmobiler.com/ Frankly, I think I have more claim to this title than he does.... -His riding is limited to groomed trails - largely panty waist stuff. For 5 years, I sledded in the windswept NWT, navigating by topo map and the scent of caribou, sometimes on ice roads, but more often on trackless treeless wastes or on featureless lakes between two communities, stopping to light a fire to warm my hands as the skidoo I rode had no hand warmers and leaf springs in the front. Occasionally, I would have to p*ss on the carburator to warm it up enough for the machine to start - often the fuel needle would need to be cleaned as well. -I had no sponsors or a bunch of lackies in my company. I still don't. -have sledded from Baker Lake, Nunavut, which holds the distinction of being the community at the geographic center of Canada. -on a bet, I once chugged a 40 ounce bottle of rye, tracked a polar bear by sled and then wrestled it, and made love to an NWT woman all in the same 36 hour time period. (well, not exactly....after chugging the rye, returned to the bar slashed and bleeding 8 hours later demanding to know where that woman that I had to wrestle was....) Being the generous, sharing sort that I am however, I will modify the title....slomo....One of Canada's Foremost Snowmobilers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake G Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I find Mr. Nickerson's articles interesting, though certainly not the final word on snowmobiling. I think it is important for many people to communicate with newbie sledders, and Mr. Nickerson does a good job at promoting the activity. I enjoy his writing, and I doubt I am alone. Of course there are some other expert snowmobilers with great writing skills, and I am grateful for them all. And yes, slomo, you should change your tagline to read "One of Canada's Foremost Snowmobilers". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrizzlyGriff Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 One of the reasons I like this site is for the lack of bashing people etc. I don't think posting insults about someone is fair nor necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we are so 'knowledgeable' about snowmobiling we shouldn't need to read his articles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
