Faceman Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Stoney Keppel Riders as well as Wiarton Trailblazers have opened up Limited. We have received a significant amount of snow in the last 24 hrs and there is more in the forecast. Please watch out for icy corners and the occassional washout. I know other member clubs are scrambling to get their trails up and running. Check the OFSC website for more updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin McHugh Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Good news!! If you're out there PVSledhead, does this apply to the Purple Valley loop and the trail to Hope Bay- thinking of coming up tomorrow. Kevin McHugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faceman Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Anything west of Owen Sound...don't venture much south of 21 or you'll find dirt and bumpy, but having said that it's snowing hard here right now. Pick and chose and you'll be fine. Just checked....8 inches on the deck and still snowing. If Wiarton openned limited you should be OK Purple Valley way... Going to the OC Ride in Parry Sound this weekend ....CYAH I'll try and update in the AM if I have time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vooodooo Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 As of 11pm we have most of a foot. Light powder but a good dump none the less. I'm in for a boot on Sunday if anyone is up to it. Need to beg Mike to blow my driveway if needed while I'm gone. I get to fly out of Wiarton, Wednesday, on the C130 transports now, direct flight, vs Pearson at 6am on civi planes. F'in eh. Should be a good show. I'll try to get pics. Never been, exactly how big is the Wiarton airport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faceman Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Wiarton has a paved 5021 ft strip and a 3000ft gravel cross strip. It was at one time a federal airport. There was a bunch of them built years ago all within the 100 mile mark of Pearson Intl. Strips were made long enough that anything including a Jumbo could land in an emergency. Mind you they'd have to dismantle it to take it out but it could land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even broke trail on the purple valley loop Sat. am. Thanks again to all the clubs who did a great job on getting up and running after the thaw.

vooodooo Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Can I get permission to upload bigger files? Most of my pics are in the 1 meg range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domino Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Can I get permission to upload bigger files? Most of my pics are in the 1 meg range. Nope, they would be too big to view for many users. If needed, upload them to photobucket. Photobucket will resize them for you. Or you can email them to domino at ontarioconditions.com. I'll resize them and send them back.

Faceman Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 On behalf of the Stoney Keppel Riders...thanks to all volunteers, landowners and sledders who purchased permits in our area. To those who rode GB this winter, thanks. And rest assured that we are constantly working with the "big guy" to improve conditions. Have a great summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
