Predicted trail conditions North of Peterborough for Jan 5th, 2021?

[Candubrain]

Just curious.    Looking out your window do you think the trails around the Burnt River area will be open by Jan 5th?

thanks

Hi Brian

Still snow covered here in the Lakefield area. Maybe 2".

 

Looking at the forecast, the short answer would be no.

I'm part of the Buckhorn club and we are still dealing with fallen trees on the trails from the windstorms a couple of weeks ago. We've done about half of our trail system. Still about 80km to go. Most of the trails we have worked on have a bit of base on them which is good. However a good chunk of our trails run through the Canadian Shield and need quite a bit more snow to cover the exposed rock. Believe we would need 30cm to get there. Last week some swampy areas were still not frozen enough to support our atvs. Rail lines or smoother trails wouldn't need much to get going, maybe 10-15 cm. Hope that helps. Dan

HI Dan

 

thank you for the update.   I was afraid that would be the answer.     

 

Happy New Year

Forecast is looking better. May get lucky with the rail line!

I'm having work done at AT on tuesday and was hoping to test ride afterwards.

thanks for the update
