quickie Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Its about time. What have you been doing up there? How hard can it be to get it to snow? Maybe I can get up there and tear up them trails again on that Tundra. Giver, Maybe we can do some more drag racing, hope all is well, just got back from up, had a beer at pine stump, thinking of old times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few sections that are a little rolly in the bush sections but I was really impressed how the trail is . Most is flat and double wide. The new section from Beauty lake road to Gowganda is sweet . Everyone coming through is giving great reviews on the trails this week ... Supposed to get snow starting sunday so lets hope..

I hope it's still snowing up there!!! Hello Scagburner (that's a different name) lol After tomorrow there should not be a re-route. The bridge is back in and we are signing the original trail. Keep an eye on the ofsc and here. You should see things change tomorrow or the next day. It was due to the bridge being pulled out . Didn't snow much today but coming down heavy right now..... Fingers crossed... We will be sending groomers out starting tomorrow night or wed. depending on snow.. Trails should be sweet for the weekend.

How much are they calling for? Only a few inches up to today but snowing hard right now... Supposed to get 1-3 cm's per day every day this week.. Every little bit helps.. We will take what we get. Great base but need this extra to make trails better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m the president of the Scagburner’s Snowmobile club here in Central Pennsylvania – hence the name… The club was chartered in the early 70’s when runners were known as scags rather than carbides. You have to admit, it’s kinda catchy… We should be arriving to Matachewan Saturday morning for what is our 11th annual trip. Unfortunately, our group has dwindled from 17 down to a handful over the years for various reasons but I’ll still be there. We have had several trips over the years when the snow was marginal but somehow always seem to get it in time to make great riding. Will there be permits available in Matachewan?

Thanks, John I assume you are looking for 7 day passes? If so how many and what dates. Currently there are season permits in matach but I would have to get 7 day ones there if that is what you need.
