J-Fly Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Does anyone know if the groomers are out around Gravenhurst? Trying to book a week ahead in hope that a few trails will open. Quote
Blake G Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 You'll need to book more to the north, unfortunately. Quote
02Sled Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Around sprucedale and Kearney seem to be some of the only Muskoka area trails Quote
J-Fly Posted January 21, 2019 Author Posted January 21, 2019 Getting really close. 102D was not bad on Saturday north of Bala. If Gravenhurst opens we may have a loop for the up coming Sno-Bomber weekend in Bracebridge Quote

Dirtbag Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 well the MLSTA is trying... will see how the next two days go for us.. "might" get back to yellow, so keep an eye on the guide Quote
J-Fly Posted February 14, 2019 Author Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) C102D and C114 After all the snow they go yellow. Grooming issue? I would like to try the trails into Bala. Anyone been south of Port Carling? Edited February 14, 2019 by J-Fly Quote

Muskoka Bill Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 Did the Magic tour yesterday (Feb 14) C101D from Gravenhurst to Bala was not in good shape, looks like it had not been groomed, slow riding lots of moguls. The status was yellow and looks like the northern part still is today. Quote
Blake G Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 I saw the Snowcrest groomer heading west through town, just after dark last night. Quote

Hopefully a groomer hits it soon or again if it was done recently. Quote
Blake G Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 I believe MLSTA may be currently dealing with a shortage of trained operators. NOTE: There are ways to get from 17 to Bala with minimal use of C101D. Quote

Lots of traffic, groomers can't be everywhere, so many possible reasons. Quote

I know they are all working hard and their efforts are appreciated. Quote
Blake G Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 Snow Rider, I agree some local trails were pretty beat up over the weekend. Sheer traffic. Now today...a little better. Quote

Despite the very best efforts of the volunteers and groomer operators, especially on Family day weekend you are going to run into some less than ideal trail conditions. There's a multitude of reasons why a trail can be rough, high levels of traffic, out of service groomer and just too many trails to do them all every day. 1 Quote
gibson Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 I still say the deep paddle tracks help deteriorate the trails quicker. That with grabbing a handful out of each corner starts the ball rolling. I often don't understand why in the middle of the lake. Someone decides to do a hole shot and leave a two foot high mound of snow. That when I freezes solid would knock a person off their sled if you couldn't see it. Quote
Dirtbag Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 MLSTA is out grooming again today. We now have two operators 2 Quote
J-Fly Posted January 15, 2024 Author Posted January 15, 2024 How about now. Any action in Muskoka? Quote
Nunz Posted January 15, 2024 Posted January 15, 2024 Snowcrest is working on trails as we speak 2 Quote

Steve F6 Posted January 16, 2024 Posted January 16, 2024 I'd bet baysville opens first in D7. Also they have a new warm up shelter! 3 Quote
