Baylaker Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I’ve noticed Sudbury has made it onto the map. Has anyone ridden these yellow trails yet? This winter has been brutal so far and there’s no hope in sight for southern Ontario lately. I know things can change quickly, but I’ll be very surprised if they do…seems like it could be a long winter. looking to venture north for a day or 2 soon, but wondering if anyone has been out on these yellow trails lately, if so, how are they shaping up?

RAMSOMAIR Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Well, we just drove through Sudbury Tuesday and then again Friday on way to Cochrane and let me tell you its THIN. The D109 beside hwy 17 has not seen a groomer yet. Grass everywhere unfourtunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest problem is the same as everywhere else, water. Swamps aren't freezing up. We have been plagued with breakdowns due to low snow, expensive breakdowns. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it’s bad everywhere. I guess we still need cold and a major storm to roll through all of ontario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its about 60-70% the size of Trout Lake in terms of water surface area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is correct. Trout Lake and Talon are not safe at all. Lake Nosbonsing is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as an update, As of yesterday, my buddy said that from what they could see from Hwy 63, Trout Lake was frozen over and there were some stakes on the ice near the Portage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disclaimer, second hand report, I was not there today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xfirecat Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Fwiw, C 111 D was groomed today as far as Cartier anyway. Windy lake isn’t staked yet and has plenty of random slush spots. I would think it could be staked soon. There are no permanent huts on Windy lake in the usual spots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xfirecat Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 And, C 111 D from Cartier to 56 was rough today but past 56 to Capreol was in great shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baylaker Posted January 25, 2023 Author Share Posted January 25, 2023 We went up Friday morning (20th) and rode the afternoon. It was decent, choppy in some spots, but still rideable. Saturday morning was pretty good, until just after noon. It was F****D, and I just wanted to walk out the bush lol. That time of year I guess.

Xfirecat Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I heard the club only grooms that piece Thursday. Not sure if that’s correct but that’s the word on the street. Maybe get a dentist to sponsor that piece, lots of fillings will shake loose. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn’t be that way with no snow in south and all extra traffic. Money should move to areas that have snow and open trails. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
