stonehaven Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Any little snow that we got has blown off the lake. Trails are rock solid even with studs and scratchers. Looks like I'll be skating instead of sledding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Hopefully the small amounts that will fall the next few days helps out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it actually stopped raining alltogether during that hour to be honest. At 5 this morning was still around 0 I believe (unless I was lucid dreaming) so certainly wasn't +8 at 3-4am.. no real loss of snow around the yard, and some snow in the forecast!.. if (and that's a big "if") the 2 week forecast holds true we should be good for another 2 weeks of riding.. my local trails are still yellow (although I wouldn't venture out until we get some covering.. driveway was awfully slick with some powder snow on top of the ice sheath.. I just finished a 12 hr groomer run on the west end of D1. Trails are probably the best they have been all season. We got about 1 inch of sleet/ ice pellets with a little rain last night around 7, nowhere near the forecasted mess they were talking about. Some snow this morning to boot. But it all groomed up nice and has a little moisture in it so it’s setting up nicely. Heading north tomorrow so won’t even get a chance to ride on it. Oh well. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowchopper Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Could have used scratchers today. Was out riding in the Almaguin District today and the rain left the trails very hard and icy with lots of low hanging frozen branches.Talked to Mark from the Highland Rovers and he was having a hard time picking up any snow in the drag. My friends Polaris kept getting hot. Had to stop and pack snow on the tunnel to help cool it.Otherwise it was a good ride.Saw a bull moose and a cow on the 303. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtowe Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Are we getting more snow today in Muskoka? I see that some HGR trails are yellow, some red. I assume that the rockier, harder areas to fill in are the closed trails. Hopefully we get enough last minute snow to get things in good shape for this weekend. Last weekend was great with just enough new snow after the previous rain event. Thanks to the various groomer operators around Port Sydney, Dorset, Dwight, Sprucedale, Kearney, etc. for getting things into great shape then. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldslowsledder Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 We got a couple inches of fresh powder last night on top of the hard packet ice pellets from the other day, we're 20 minutes north of Parry Sound 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulslund Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 We got about 6 inches of fresh stuff this morning. Not as dense as I would have liked, but not bad either.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowchopper Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Around 3 inches off fluffy snow last night in the Kearney area. Went for a ride with my friend up the D trail to the c105 into South River .Then across the c105 to the 415 to 410 across lake Bernard to the D trail then D123 to 302,303 to Sand Lake. Trails were very good with the few inches of fresh snow. No over heating issues today. Not like yesterday. Got back to my place and blew out my driveway and my neighbours.Just watching the 6 o'clock news now. And i almost forgot the corners are icy... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

signfan Posted February 26, 2022 Author Share Posted February 26, 2022 Back to what appears to be mid season in Cloyne. Id say 4" of new snow. Anything that was plowed is very icy though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAMSOMAIR Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Trails were mint in PS/Nobel/PAB this weekend. No issue with steering, the SRX just railed like a slot car! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Re:Leaf Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 The long range forecast for the next 2 weeks looks decent. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Yep, trails were good. Secondary trails had far less wash out and ice in corners though 👍. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 More rain for the south coming Sunday with high of 8, warmer temps to follow. Debating whether I cram in one last ride on Thursday in Durham or just put them into storage. I had hoped to head north for at least a couple. days in March but I can see plenty of things I could get finished at home. I bought that new sled for the wife because she said she wasn't going south again for a couple of years and wanted to ride. Friday she bought another place in Florida. Takes possession April 1. 🤪 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rode from Barrie to Norland yesterday on 9/10 trails.. Traffic has been very light and we are grooming daily.. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
