Spiderman Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Officially snowed out at home now. If it snows again, I'm leaving it - as they say, it will melt. Done clearing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard theres lotsa rocks maybe from 2 summers of atvs?tearing it up? Anyone know the scoop? Its not groomed yet so turned around and decided to head down to the B trail and make big loop east and north. Once again Haliburtons top B dissappoints. It was pristine to the HW limit. Stopped and chatted with a guy he said its moguls to lake st nora. What exactly is the issue here? Is it b112 that is late to open and B gets neglected till the b112 groomer can get up there without going up the hwy 35 shoulder? Would love to know why. Came back and stopped at the shelter then went thru bigwin and up d103. All of it in beauty shape. Only one pic today as the riding was too damn good. Kick ass weekend of riding in D7 coming up! You nailed it. I read yesterday that trail is so rutted up from Atv’s it will take another 2 feet before could even think about making a pass. Virtually impassible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to be riding Monday. Was thinking of taking trails from Lake Vernon to Dorset - fuel up and run the lakes home Is the route from Port Sydney, through Baysville etc. into Dorset decent? If not, we may run the lakes there and then find something else on the way back. My kid wants to see the "channel" in person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its tough to open on a good year, so at least we know why now. Maybe someone from Hatva and LOB atv club could chime in as to how they plan to fix it as thats unacceptable. The other issue when d101 isnt open we all use B to go east and Haliburton neglects their portion of it. Grooming for tourism? I wonder if Baysville could take that piece of B over but i also wonder if their pisten bully cant make it that far and back on fuel? If thats the issue I have a 350ltr diesel tank in my truck and would help out with fuel topups once or twice a week if it meant a TOP trail was rideable between two districts. Its ridiculous really. Probably quite a few fed up permit buyers in that area with fuel tanks in the their trucks too. 17 minutes ago, Spiderman said: Is the route from Port Sydney, through Baysville etc. into Dorset decent? All mint to just west of Raven lake. Best alternate option is D102/3 up to 54 and across LOB. Still waiting on that 50 trail to show on the map. Not sure what the heck is going on with that now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy a new one I dare yeah I'd buy a new sled if it would make the snow stop. lol. I've been close to grabbing another one many times. I still have the ol' xcsp700 but I dont go too far on it. Thing I do like about it is I ride from the house. The old gal dont mind bare roads and curbs. Once I get out of town the side roads are well covered. I can road run to Tobermory and back. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have an ol' Polaris xcsp700 and access to other sleds. I rode an xcr650 and my wife rode an X800. She rarely rides anymore but had fun. We did alot of road running as she got tired on the way back. Plenty of snow on the roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoney Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Anyone know what the winter forecast was for this year? seems to be a good one in many spots, a bit slow to start though. Curious if it was an accurate one for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious if it was an accurate one for a change. You can thank me, despite volunteering for the local club this was the first time in decades I didn't buy an early pass .
