zoso Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 We still have snow, trails will be open for s couple of days....but conditions have gotten poor, and in a few days we are getting lots of rain and warm. No way we get a third recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poo Man Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Yup already gave the sledding a quick rinse off. Unless we get a big storm in March, no sledding unless you want to travel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viperules700 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Where is that weather expert that claimed a cold second half to winter, that was suppose to last into late march. Looks like El Niño beat up La Niña and won again. Hopefully nina can get back up for one more round in early march. Cross our fingers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintagecat Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Even if we get more snow it will take too much to get them up and running again, I don't think they will waste anymore money and time grooming after its all gone next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbakernbay Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 14 - 16 hour days yesterday for 2 of our Volunteer Operators plus major repair to our Tucker. Trail traffic is reported as “Crazy” with everyone heading to our area trying to find snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No such thing as Winter down here anymore still put on over 1300 miles in southern ontario this season..if you are not willing to trailer alot then I would not invest 15 k plus on new sled for acouple times possibly in a year....atvs on sled trails will never happen...would teat trails and crops up....getting harder to find trails in atv season that are legal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way third week of feb ending in your area is depressing. I am hoping north will last until end of march, but that might be pushing it.

ZR SLEDHEAD Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Been a roller coaster ride in the south yet again this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A season that brought lots of hope, then kicked us in the balls, then once again shined for a moment, only to be put to bed early. Still some riding to be had here at home, but it is getting sparse and will be gone when the rain hits early this coming week. Oh well, I cannot complain, I rode from the garage often and can still trailer to ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZR SLEDHEAD Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 My first rides on really good snow this year came this week out of Orillia on Tues and again yesterday out of Fenelon Falls. Few weeks ago in Quebec was ok but certainly well off from premium. Only year I've logged less miles, when I sat out a winter with no sled. Original plan was to trade the Pro S n replace with an XCR end of this season, with trades in the toilet (in spite of new being priced very right) not a chance, even in my warped mind, I can justify the expense.

hancop Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 i was going to spring check an 850 and have been so excited about it (especially since wife gave the green light), but given this depressing winter just like zr sledhead there is no way i can justify the cost, but i am really disappointed ): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoso Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 This is what I found today. Trails were ice, with a very thing light snow over top. No overheat, no melting hyfax. Some were rough, some were awesome, some fields were passable but sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manotickmike Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Carleton Regional was in good shape, went Manotick E to Carlsbad, then balked at the 417 X-ing. back around Metcalfe the long way, back home via Osgoode, for 120 k. I'm away for a bit, if this was my farewell to local sledding, it was a good day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to figure out how to get gas as the trails that are passable have none for a while, might have to get a jerry can early and then ride.
