FrostyTheSnowman Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Hi Frosty. Time to get out on that R-XC and put some miles on. We're riding the Forest on Wed. Come on up and then there will be 2 of us on R-XC's. I would love to! I will need to see what this week holds for me work wise. If I can I will see if I can get a couple others to go. That way 3 of us can load up in 1 truck. Make for a better 3.5 hr drive then on my own as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know anytime you're up in the Hali/Minden area and we can get a ride in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostyTheSnowman Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Doing the run from Whitney over to Barrys Bay tomorrow. Let me know anytime you're up in the Hali/Minden area and we can get a ride in. That would be great! For the first ride I've been hoping that a few more trails within a couple hrs of here open up throughout the week and I can give the sled its first shake down and make sure it's all tight with no issues. Do any track adj etc then head north if it's still limited in the next few weeks from Collingwood and to the south. Depending on conditions still up there I would prob choose to go the extra miles to Barry's bay for an over nighter. Seems like the logical thing to do if I'm going to dr 3.5 hrs anyhow. I'll let you know when I can get up that way and we can ride. I know a few people in Kinmount I'd like to drop in and say hi to and an old employer/friend has a place in Halliburton as well. I'll make it that way this year for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Pics from today here in Apsley: Â Â On Weds' I hiked in a stretch of SLSR #747 to check the trail condition. Snow cover looked OK where there was no evergreen overhead, I would think in stretches west of here in some hemlock stands the snow would be thinner.

Baylaker Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Not dropping until Sunday night into Monday morning! Forecast has allot of rain, which will thaw the ground right back out again. We need cold again to freeze it back up so snow will stay. Hopefully next week is better, still don't like long range, maybe it will change and that big golf storm will cone as snow later in the week. Keep your fingers and toes crossed! Ya that's when I was referring to...start of next week. Just watched TWN and they're saying a nor'easter is supposed to be coming down from the North Pole. They said it won't bring a lot of snow because it's dry air, but he did say "the lakes are open" and it will produce good SW lake effect snow. Just perfect!!! This is supposed to be happening Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â EDIT ... .just looked at your forecast .... gonna be rain until TOMORROW, THEN it's gonna freeze .... ugly just the same .... sorry about your luck Brian .... Same here in the south and east... 25-45mm of rain tonight and tomorrow with temps around the +7c mark. Then Monday things start to cool off. But looking at the 14 day, it's showing -6 and sunny until the end of the month. Good weather for ski hills to make snow, but sucks for sledding.... Looks like January is a wash, hopefully February brings something.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like January is a wash, hopefully February brings something.... Later next week there is a big golf storm moving east. Track looks like it will hit southern Ontario. If we are on the wrong side of the jet stream, it is going to be another big rain event. Lees hope it comes as snow. That storm will make or break rest of Jan for us. Cross your fingers!
