SkiDooStu Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Here's hoping the weathernetwork is wrong. THey are calling for +4 tuesday and +8wednesday with rain. Accuweather is much less harsh same with environment canada. I'm guessing the base would be mostly gone if these temperatures come true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiDooStu Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 A bit of good news here. I'm not a meteorologist, but from the models I've looked at, Parry Sound should only see a bit of rain on Tuesday. Wednesday through the rest of the week should be quite cold. I've heard that TWN has a computer do its long range forecasts, so I can ssee how they'd make an error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiDooStu Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 Ok, I was up in Parry Sound the last weekend of January and there was a ton of snow. I'm just wondering if the trails can survive the brief warmup on Tuesday? It's going to remain cold with snow after that until the weekend. Anyone up there the past weekend?

Trax Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 We just got home. We wont say that more snow wont be welcome but we are confident that things will be good to go for the poker run. The forecast is quite goofy. The trails this weekend were quite good & the clubs seem to be working as hard as ever. We will be there this weekend supporting the PSSD at the poker run. I have never played poker while riding a sled but I am sure someone will show me how it is done.?.?.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slomo Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 played poker while riding a sled but I am sure someone will show me how it is done.?.?.? Trax...won 2nd place last year. My advice...get to know poker hands...I had no idea I was close until someone told me. As far as how the run works: -buy a hand which is a blank card with five spaces -at each stop, you draw a card from the deck -they write down what you drew and both sign -if you draw a joker, you can redraw at the end of the run for another card which might make your hand better -you can buy extra hands sheets, but they must be bought at the original starting spot - Jolly Roger this year I understand. -you have to be at the dinner (and stay there!) to get your prize. Last year they had a computer program on which they entered everyones' cards so they knew who had the best hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkiDooStu Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 How much is each additional hand? Is it still $40? Also, Bill do you have a belt for a 1997 Polaris Indy 500 in stock? My buddy MIGHT need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcsldr Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Bill This would be the ideal venue to raise funds for PSSD defence purposes unless the OFSC commits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
