tricky Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 The ITG shows the A trail closed from Matheson north to A111C. Does this mean that one cannot get from Kirkland Lake to Cochrane? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Would like to stage out of KL tonight and head to the Northern Corridor Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 It was the same thing last year. If I remember correctly there was an issue with a club up there (Val Gagne maybe?). Anyway it took some time to get a couple of other clubs to cover the area if I remember correctly. That area is mostly field and road running if memory serves. Shouldn't be too difficult to run side roads to get through that section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Doo Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 As per jack pine snowmobile club in Iroqouis falls, they are awaiting singage to be completed by the district TATA. I am told it is done by them, and out of the clubs control. Said to stay tuned to the ITG its hopefully going open soon.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't get opened before you go, you could always run from Matheson north along Monahane rd. and then Rese rd. up to Montieth and catch the open A north there.

Same issue with the A trail maybe ?? Ask about the C trail when you are in Smooth Rock Falls. Their club the Arctic Riders is working on a re route for the C trail due to the logging, Their groomers run out of a building along the highway close to the welcome to SRF sign. Please let us know if you find out any info. about the re route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Tricky, make sure that you post on here how the trails were in the areas on your loop. I'm interested in going really SOON!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signfan Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 That section around Matheson has been hit and miss the last few years. The club folded. Kirkland Lake grooms to Matheson from the South and the Jackpine club comes in from the north. It's a shame they aren't making it a priority. Really messes up a trip through there. It's mainly pipeline and farm fields north of Matheson. Good trail when opened and groomed. Unfortunately the last few years the consistency hasn't always been there. Both clubs are trying. Would make for a long trip in the groomer. Until it's green I'd say Trailer to Kirkland Lake or Cochrane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Doo Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Timmins club and tata are reportedly doing signage Wednesday, tomorrow. If all goes well, it MAY be open by the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I see the A trail from Matheson to the west of Val Gagne is now yellow. Just need the Liskeard area to get a colour change now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sledjunk Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 When we drove through NL on Thursday, it was pretty depressing. Very little snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
