white dragon Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 hmmm. I wonder if there are any places to run around and play in that stuff. Lots of concession roads but they must all be plowed by now... railbed from Orillia to coldwater,then to port severn...big field behind arena in coldwater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake G Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 But the railbed would be "off limits" would it not? Now, that big field behind the arena, I wonder who owns it? I am wondering too if there might be a fair bit of snow on the shoulder of the roads in that area right now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am wondering too if there might be a fair bit of snow on the shoulder of the roads in that area right now.... The field behind the arena is a winter wheat field I believe. The ODSC has had problems in the past with off trail riding in that field... Best spot I can think of would be up towards the swift locks, not sure how localized the snow is though...

Yukon Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 that can't be this year Lastnight between Coldwater and Orillia. 30cm when this was taken by a friend... More fell since lastnight, apparently another 20cm.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viperules700 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I'm in London Ontario! is it worth the drive to see how the new sled works? No snow in London yet? That is strange. Back in 2010 I think I was riding there second week of December. Lucan was burried was awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake G Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I'm hoping to check out that area Tuesday morning also, after some errands. It is only half an hour from my house. I hope to find some of that white stuff before 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake G Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Sounds good, backsleddin. I will check this thread tomorrow morning via my phone. EDIT: That should say THIS morning, as I see it is now 1 a.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am wondering too if there might be a fair bit of snow on the shoulder of the roads in that area right now.... the rail bed is an actual snowmobile trail... not sure anyone else would be out on it with all that snow other than a snowmobile - technically if the trail isn't open you're not supposed to be there - at least you have a trail permit though. http://barrie.ctvnews.ca/coldwater-area-hardest-hit-by-weekend-snowfall-1.2668740 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old sledhead Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 For those that can get there sled out have fun enjoy and be safe . Just remember trails are NOT OPEN please remember to respect the landowners if you wish to enjoy the use of there land for this season and seasons to come. Again be safe would not want anyone to become a statistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viperules700 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Well said. One must be careful to avoid trespassing. There are a few allowable places for safe preseason riding though.... Very important this time of year. Ground isn't frozen so sleds can leave ruts in fields and destroy crops under the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the fun stuff(when the ofsc hasn't blessed your neighbourhood with trails) The OFSC may bless the trails but it is up to the local club to do all the pre-work/setup and grooming.

AdamGamble Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 The OFSC may bless the trails but it is up to the local club to do all the pre-work/setup and grooming. No club= no trail Agreed. Trails stop just before brantford and do not come any further towards me. A system from turkey point to port Dover, then towards haldimand area would just be amazing to link some serious riding together. A lot of ripped up rail beds and power lines to follow as well, but it will never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02Sled Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Snowing pretty good in Montreal as I look out the window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake G Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I'm unloading now at Carlyon Road which is the beginning of the trail in to Swift Rapids Dam. Once the municipal plowing ends, the remaining road has been plowed by a smaller truck but it has a nice base and half an inch of snow on it so I'm going to see how it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
