FrostyTheSnowman Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I've already accepted that it's over for the south so not to be disappointed BUT.... Just because no weather systems are a real threat to bring snow, the temps are cold enough that the lake machines aren't closed for the season. If either happen to happen and give a glimmer of hope, I'd bet the clubs will go like stink to get even a week or two of riding in to put smiles on people's faces. If they do, it will be very honourable of them to do so with little return for how long it will last before winter is over. If they don't. I'm not upset. There's always next year and the sled is still new! It's the nature of the sport and I'm ok with that. If I wasn't I wouldn't be in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulsFST Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 It's definitely a trailer north kind of season. On the bright side, if I don't get out my sled is pretty much ready for the 2016-2017 season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livin' on the b103 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Absolutely, we were discussing that very issue this morning. HCSA as a club will be out grooming if weather permits, I would bet most clubs will do the same and are far from giving up. The cold is in the forecast, all that is needed is an "un-forcasted" snowfall!! Ā Livin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carm Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Sudbury/North Bay and north is where you need to go to find the snow. We have been doing big day rides on Wednesdays out of Sudbury and it has been fantastic, snowing really hard last night when we left around 8pm. Ā Pack up the trailer and head north kind of year!

dweese Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Life doesn't let me pack up and trailer north for 8 hours. Saying that however I'm not ready to give up yet. Sure not going to be a record season of riding, but I'm hoping for at least a few good days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
