Turbo Burgo Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Booked a cabin for Dec 27. Can't wait to break in the NEW Turbo. I've always had incredible experiences at Haliburton Forest, not sure why everyone bashes them. So unique... onsite cabins, fuel, big warm up shacks everywhere, good onsite food, great people, fast wide trails, early lake running and top notch grooming equipment!

The only thing that seems to be a problem with Haliburton Forest is that they seem to be aggressively positive when reporting their trail conditions. It seems if they say conditions are great it could be in fact marginal. Congrats on the new sled. Have fun breaking it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nunz Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Just got home from spending the day there with Muskoka Mike and Muskoka cat guy and few other friends, conditions were fair but we did 60 miles. They definitely need more snow that's in the forecast, if anyone is thinking of going I'd suggest waiting a couple more days. For 27 bucks it was worth getting out and burning some gas..The new Titan helmet is amazing, very light and no fogging issues very impressed with it so far.

stoney Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I would not be surprised if there will not be some OFSC trails open very soon....forecast is looking rather promising and the fall was a rather dry one. edit: I mean ofsc trails no further than the forest...

I drove there early season once based on what they described on the phone. When I got there I decided I wasn't going to punish my brand new sled on what they described as good riding. They were sold out for the day. Since they don't give refunds it was shear luck that I was able to sell my pass for the day to a couple that were only able to get one pass and were planning on riding two up rather than each ride their own sleds.

If the trails are limited or open, forest will be good to excellent. Both systems are same elevation and receive identically natural snow amounts.

GrizzlyGriff Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Well, first time experiencing what 02Sled and Domino were saying. They should not have opened. A lot of people leaving by noon on Sat. Constant clatter of stones under your skis. Trails so trashed we took Kelly Road down to Kennessis lake rd to get back to the Base. The road was better than the trails. I pity people who booked the weekend lodgings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibson Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 It's always been about $$$. Never trust their early or late season trail reports. Been that way for years.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
