b-bry Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 The trail map shows C Alternate open yellow across Portage Lake (just north of Parry Sound). Is this lake staked? Anyone been on it recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone been on it recently? I was on it a week an a bit ago. It was staked and in good condition. I would think not much has changed other than more water pooling on the top from some of the rainy days. It had 8" plus on it at least. Also heard that lake joe has mostly frozen over. Definitely NOT rideable but I guess from most of the week having mostly cloudy days keeping the sun from shinning down on it has actually allowed it to freeze a bit... Area trails like BlakeG stated are all listed as yellow check the itg map for current open an closing, most of our trails have a good base on them and allowed them to hold up for the week with + temps an rain. Although some of the typical water areas are starting to open up so if out on them take caution while riding. Its starting to snow here pretty good now for the past couple hours and has about 2 cms fallen so far. The next forecast is looking good with good low temps at night on the weekend and some snow for the rest of the week till sunday so far. We will hopefully be getting grooming operations started soon.

I stayed off on the weekend while it was raining but lots of traffic this week. Thought Id give SSSC club trails update for those wanting to know for the weekend since I was on some of them tonight. Groomers have been going throughout the week trying to get the trails back to their former glory. 201 was done yesterday and we have now done the section of the 201 that leads past the humphrey transfer station crossing hwy 141 into little whitefish lake( the lake is staked and was in good condition) That little section of the 201 from the marshal rd to hwy 141 is really rough and a few water holes but nothing too big that you cant get through as we did not drag that yet as it was only packed with the groomer. Although from marshal rd up the rest of the 201 to the seguin trail is really great! id say 90%. I only got on the seguin trail from the entrance of 201 and ran that north onto C ALT trail into parry sound. That section of seguin trail was good with some studder bumps here an there as well some very minor wet areas. The groomer was out tonight doing the seguin trail to sprucedale so it should only been improved since my last visit tonight. As well C ALT north is fantastic, until you get off the main trail at the intersection of 210 and C Alt heading into parry sound, the section heading into town from there was a bit rough but still enough that you can still pass through everywhere. Overall given the conditions of the last week an half the trails surprisingly held up very good and id say most of the trail system is an 80%, an with more snow and colder temps on the way so far its only going to get better. Hope everyone has a great weekend of riding trails! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cravesledding Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 201 need a little bit of more work,as mention after the 141 transfer station. Considering what the club had to deal and work with weather wise they did an outstanding job.Some of the mud holes made my machine look like an ATV that just came back from mud bogging. No big deal, nothing that cannot be washed off. With cold temps this week they should be closing up nicely. Two thumps up to club members and volunteers As for me my season has come to an end life has decided to throw us a curve ball.The dreaded C word has decided to show its face with my wife. Our battle will begin this Friday to conquer and defeat it. Here's hoping that Feb will give all clubs,volunteers and sledder's a good decent finish to the season Be safe Cheers!!

Thanks for the kind words, I'll pass along to the rest of the crew as it is good to hear feed back from sledders about all their hard work that goes into making a trail. As for your family's battle with the dreaded C word, I cannot express how sorry I am to hear that. I wish you two all the best and hope for the best as she WILL beat this! Try to stay positive as your strength will give her strength. Cheers, Gavin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our battle will begin this Friday to conquer and defeat it. Very sorry to hear that. Here are a few pointers from a previous experience to help you out: -make sure hospital staff are aware of the specific 'point people' - those people to whom they will be communicating about your wife's progress, needs, etc. -get on your contacts - social media, texts, etc. and ensure friends and acquaintances know that you are limiting visits to immediate family only - your patient is going to be very tired. -make sure your wife has an 'advocate' - someone at the hospital who can get ice water, extra pillows, report pain etc. The nurses these days are very over worked and can't keep an eye on everyone, but if asked for something they can make it happen or double check on things IV's falling out or loose etc. -once home, again limit visitors and gifts. Missed a purolator delivery from some well meaning person, had to drive 20 kms to pick up a parcel meant for the patient, had better things to do. People seem to feel that bringing food is a good idea or something they have to do. You might want to limit this as well. Most ends up being thrown out or in some cases suspect to the point where food poisoning might be a problem. We met once at Wild Bill's place a few year's ago - I reshake your hand and wish you all the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
