shawnj Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Does Yellow also mean a pass with groomer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanky Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Yes, a yellow trail means that groomer has at minimum packed the trail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawnj Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Ok thanks for that info. There is a trail along Black Bay road off Petawawa Blvd, It was yellow on ITG but there was definitely no sign of a groomer being on it. Unless Im mistaken but I was on the first part but only up to around the airport then back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whits-end Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Packed or groomed? We do not go yellow until groomed. That is at least a pass with Mogulmaster drag, not just the packing pan. At least for initial opening. Later in the season it may very. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I've been on plenty of yellow trails that had not seen a groomer yet that season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledjunk Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Yellow means that you can ride the trail, but you may come across obstacles or hazards. Ride with caution. Some trails get set to limited because the trails have been checked but an industrial groomer will break through the soft areas. Allowing some traffic will force the frost and freezing deeper to firm up the wet areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just curious if the OFSC rules were in order to be Yellow, they have had a pass with the packer or groomer. Looks like varying opinions here. BTW SledJunk, this year if I see the lights a flashing on the pipeline up here I won't keep going. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledjunk Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 That would be great! I am sure I'll be up there again. Love that area. But back on topic, there are no hard and fast rules other than that the signage has to be inspected and the trail ready from a risk management perspective. When the trails are red, though, it means that the club has determined that the trail is either not safe, in their opinion, or that there is an issue. Sometimes, the people that ride on closed trails do not realize that a minor issue needs to be resolved with a landowner and trespassing just loses the trail altogether. I am in no way inferring that you, anyone else on here, would do that. Just venting frustration of dealing with a situation just like that in our club. And, unfortunately, I know we are not unique in that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 In the grooming association that I was involved in for a dozen years, the trail colour was changed when the club trail master in consultation with the groomer co-ordinator decided it was right to do so. Typically that was after a pass with the groomer but not sure if that was always the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grover_yyz Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 It would be interesting to see the ITG add a colour to represent a closed trail due to land issue related to trail abuse. It would show how serious the number of trails we are loosing every day/week/year. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02Sled Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 It would be good if we started taking pictures of people who go off trail ride without permits etc and started posting them up, especially if we can include registration numbers.

Tessie11 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 The trail guide on my iPhone seems to be different than on the computer, iPhone show yellow and the ofsc website shows red. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts? Maybe the status changed while you were switching devices? Did you reload the ITG for both devices at the same time, to verify that the data was indeed different on each device?
