Spiderman Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Hoping for some good news in our area by the weekend, otherwise looks like we're trailering a little further north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMSOMAIR Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 With all the red in the Parry Sound area I have already committed to going north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I'm a bit surprised, was in Parry Sound yesterday, usually Carling is grooming out of Nobel by this time, not sure what's going on. Still haven't seen the groomer arrive in Pointe Au Baril, drags are here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMSOMAIR Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 A little disheartening to say the least. I would have thought that many of the Carling trails would have been packed with a Bearcat or similar but nothing has started before the snowfall this past weekend.

We can never seem to win in District 7. We have a lot of low lying wet/swamp in our area. Usually - we prefer good solid cold before too much snow - which almost never seems to happen. This year - we finally got some good cold before the snow - but since then - very little snow. I love sledding - but I really hate having to depend on weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreyboater Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 We are going RAP next Wednesday starting from Parry Sound, hopefully Seguin will be open. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if it came to it and all I could do was trips, I would still be doing it - but I also enjoy the local'ish day rides too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i prefer day rides out of the cottage. What really sucks is having 40k of machines sitting there for 5-6 weeks of winter. Not the best ROI 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be no reason lake running is not doable until the trails are set - I know also not the greatest, but better than nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowchopper Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I saw the Highland Rovers have been through the 95 trail. I passed by it in my truck today where it crosses at Bay lake road and Rochester road. Looks like it is pretty thin . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskoka Man Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Looks like port Sydney has starting packing ,but we do need another good blast here to get the green light I'm thinking ,did manage to get out back with the 380 fanner and get some grooming done 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Ontario we use to always get 8 weeks. Now lucky if we get a good month, some years not even that much. Musoka use to get 3 months now getting what southern Ontario use to get 🤣. Maybe it change in next few years and winter last longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UsedtoSkidoo Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 this weekend is apparenly 50/50. Snow coming this afternoon should help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldslowsledder Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Carling Groomer is indeed out, packing and grooming. Snowing here again, should really help. On a sad note our local NEGB Groomer still hasn't shown up from summer repairs in Sudbury, operator is anxious to get going, really good guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMSOMAIR Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Lots of red in the southwest. Should ask OFSC to send a groomer that isn’t being utilized 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently there is a spare groomer but it had previously been loaned out to somebody 🥵 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
