AC+YA Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Hi Dan, Lots of snow. Great video like so many you have posted. I bet Sean was really happy to see you guys. I noticed that the sled cutout above the gas hut is finally gone. It was leaning farther forward last season. I hope to get through Halfway in the next few weeks, but this starts me planning a trip to run all the way up to visit ski in Dub. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidooboy Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 what we should do is organize a forum "ride in" everyone meet at halfway haven, for an overnight stay and visit. we can have everyone ride in from all directions of the compass, meeting at the central location that is halfway haven. in the morning, we all go our separate directions, to continue, or end or riding.

mgooding Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 How far are these trails away from being ready? I was hoping to run up on Dec 19 for a 3 day trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan-Senior Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Not sure when packing / grooming will start, however, If I hear any updates, I'll post them here. As of Wednesday morning, December 14, north of Sault Ste. Marie and East of Lake Superior now has the most snowdepth in Ontario. Lake Effect snow continues to dump significant accumulations in the northern part of the Club's riding area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidooboy Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 the wawa club is looking for volunteers to pack trails with sleds, due to significant snow depth. might get lucky, and the trails might be at least packed, and passable for xmas, boxing day, new years week, pending volunteer family/work commitments, and break downs. thank you, to all the hardworking club volunteers.

Dan-Senior Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 Our day of snowmobiling in Searchmont Ontario today. Plenty of snow and sleds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan-Senior Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 All this snow is bringing back some interesting memories of slushy lakes. Here's one of our sled rescues using vintage sleds. What a day this one was. An absolute pleasure to hang out with with some vintage riders. Incredible wisdom and tremendously nice people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayclar Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Great video Dan , brings back lot of memories seeing those old sleds. And no i don't miss chopping the ice to get the frozen sled out. Been there done that a couple of times, no fun. ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan-Senior Posted December 24, 2016 Author Share Posted December 24, 2016 Due to mild weather, at the request of the Club President, I downgraded http://www.ssmtrailblazers.com website to "Limited". We are not immune to the warm weather up here either. The good news is we have a decent snowbase. Dan Sault Ste. Marie P.S. Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas Ski.
