Wyatt Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I think being techy is not a strong trait for the folks at OSFC... usually doesn't mesh well with the sledding crowd.. they need to hire some tech folks... especially for their website too *facepalm* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manotickmike Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 It was all over the place last night, no trails, network view, trail status. On the Up side, Carleton Regional just East of me has gone yellow, as well as Riverside about an hour South. This might relieve some of the pressure on the local trails, as yet, in-opened. Now if it would just warm up a bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruteMan Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 not sure where near manotick you are mike im showing yellow just south of you around Oxford mills now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manotickmike Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Keeping an eye on developments. Looks like they're opening around Hallville as well. I guess it beats trying to chase down all the sledders that have been out for the last 10 days or so. If tomorrow's weather comes according to plan, I'll be out for a (legal...) tour! -16 is fine, -20 and below, I'll stay home, at least at this time of year. I'm not acclimatised, and Mr. Sled hasn't had a real shakedown run yet either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey does that 1-800-Ontario trail conditions # still work ? I might give that a try. Ohhh the good old days... Isn't it a terrible thought that sometime down the road, we will think that this IS the good old days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand new 67 Snow Cruiser in the 66/67 season. As well we were playing with a 61 Ski-doo and a 61 Snowbug. Deep snow and damn cold. My wife's family had a 67 Super Olympique 16 horse. I was always fixing that thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soupkids Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I rode the 72 for about a month then bought 88 indy sport 340. Put over 15 k miles on it before I sold it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have thought you died and went to heaven when you first through a leg over that indy. our first ride was one dad bought new, a 1969 ski whiz. The best part about that sled was the electric start, at 4 years old I could not pull it over and was turned loose on it while dad and uncle killed soldiers by the fire.

slowbutsure Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I'm still not convinced. I checked on phone and see the trail on Scugog Lake is yellow. I was surprised so I double checked on the laptop closed. Which is it? Laptop screen shot..... Phone screen shot..... Like to plan before I go out and I wont ride on closed trails. Need to get a consistent message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grover_yyz Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 This may become a liability issue if the OFSC don't get this map issue straighten out. How can you trust anything displayed on the map? Verification of the status of a trail is going to put unnecessary pressure on the local clubs to answer each and every inquiry about their trails.

Need to get a consistent message. It got opened by mistake, human error. It has since been corrected. All ice trails remain closed. Thank you for respecting the closed trails...

slowbutsure Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I appreciate that Yukon C. But it’s still showing open. No gate to the lake so if people run it, the miss information is not good. How is it human error when mobile shows one message and laptop shows another. I check regularly but the IT issues with the OFSC the last 60 days have been beyond acceptable. I respect the volunteer aspect but it huge dollars for trail pass revenue and issues cost all of us. People give up and the OFSC losses members &/or permit purchases. Lower revenue costs us all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grover_yyz Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Its 11:04 pm and I see the trails red across the lake. Maybe its been updated again or could you phone be caching old data? Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
