MotorCity Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Can anyone provide info on this trail as the Freedom Rippers have a trip planned leaving from Wawa to Cochrane and back end of February? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidooboy Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Hornepayne sunk a groomer, waiting for it to be fixed. they have a farm tractor type groomer on loan but, are having issues utilizing it, for their terrain. and they are looking for volunteers to cut, trim, brush the trail. that was the last update I heard a few days ago.

Ski Wow on a swamp. I know once, I had to stop and move trees out of area the beavers left in way. If you went too far off trail you break thru the ice on beaver pond. I had one foot almost go thru cleaning trail up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgetman Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Here is their FB page, their trails are in rough shape from trees down and a warm winter start. https://www.facebook.com/groups/188208353029/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1049 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Notice to those wanting to do the big loop. Unfortunately our club is awaiting a groomer. We had an unfortunate incident on Jan 8th when our only groomer suffered significant damage. Fortunately our volunteers were rescued without injuries. Everyone is suffering, especially the businesses that rely on the HIGHWAY to be available from town to town. Please do not call me with updates on when we will open. Call 1-705-335-2110 Dist15 office# to voice your displeasure. In the meantime, trailer thru Hornepayne like the rest. Happy trailering 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong Farmer Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Too bad , everyone was worried about half way first, then dub breaking big loop with logging operations. Now this. I wonder why Timmins side is still closed. Did they move trail around closed section or ofsc not going to allow it with half way closed? That Probabily stay red all winter now too? 😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made a deal with the Mallett Lumber Company to use one of their roads for a temporary trail this year and are just clearing it of downed trees and getting it ready to open. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 The amount of cleared down trees that we saw this past week on our ride was just crazy and hard to believe some of the trails were able to be listed as open between that and low snow. I know @Steve F6 posted some pictures earlier of his local trails and the mess there too that he was helping clean up….plus of course other clubs too in the same boat.

I'm sure Chapleau is having the same issue with clearing the trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1049 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Thanks to amazing operators and a grooming marathon on Saturday and Sunday, we are glad to open the D108A North of Hornepayne as limited. Still some branches to clear after grooming and needs another pass. Next is South to Dubreuilville in the next few days. Please refer to OFSC ITG for trail updates. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
