Canuck Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 We have snowmobiled at Haliburton Forest the past two weekends. The 'main trails' are open (mostly unused roads) and some side trails that don't involve creek crossings were open. You can sled all day - a great early season ride. Boxing Day rain did not reduce trails to mud, etc. Just packed the snow down. The heavy rain did not start until 1 pm. Saturday, probably because the trails are in the 'highlands' and seem to have a different weather pattern than lower lying lands. Sledjunk and Moosifer stayed through Sunday (today) and may have more input on how the trails held up. P.S. - Ms. Canuck and I are the most recent victims of sledding (swimming) with Sledjunk. Nothing stops Sledjunk or Moosifer. Not sleet, nor snow, nor rain - or lots of rain. I recommend you pack a snorkel if sledding with these guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sledjunk Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 P.S. - Ms. Canuck and I are the most recent victims of sledding (swimming) with Sledjunk. Nothing stops Sledjunk or Moosifer. Not sleet, nor snow, nor rain - or lots of rain. I recommend you pack a snorkel if sledding with these guys That is Moosifer's initiation ritual for new female riding partners. :poke: :poke: We brought his sister along for her inaugural sledding adventure and boy did it rain on Saturday. The roof of one of the buildings had about 30 inches of snow on it when we arrived on Friday. By this morning, it had about 2 inches and we figured that we may as well pack up and go home. Moosifer took the rental sled across the road to the Forest (sacrificial Ski-Doo) and came back and reported the the trails looked rideable. We suited up and put in another few hours of riding. Most of the trails held up but had lost a lot of the base. There were numerous windfalls that had occurred and we actually had to clear 5 or 6 of these to get by. All in all, it was a great weekend and we even participated in an intervention. :poke: :poke: BTW, Here are a couple of pics of the newbie.

As you can see from the pictures (taken Sat., I believe) the trails were pretty good. Call the Haliburton Forest office before you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
