satrat Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 guide wires seem to be the case here as well riding in powder off trail on a blind down hill with serious snow flying. It should be noted that the section of trail is not an ofsc trail or a groomed trail by a local club but is still heavily traveled. unlike most areas south of North Bay the majority of district 17 is crown land so the "stay on the trail" thing is hard to enforce. Still a very sad thing and no disrespect to those involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidooer Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 57 yr old killed last weekend when he hit a large washout while riding on a closed trail. Barely a blip about it on the local news. He was from my neck of the woods. Spent a lot of time with him in the line ups at the grain elevators while hauling corn this fall, so it was kind of weird to hear the news.

f3 800 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Had a 19 year old girl killed near Wallaceburg during a poker run about a month ago. She hit a downed tree on the frozen river. Terrible tragedy. It was snowing very hard and visibility was bad at the time. She did nothing wrong, just a total accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drivebelt Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 This is too much. Maybe time to put them away until we get some better conditions?? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Friday, March 4, 2011 11:40 am A Teeswater man has died after hitting a tree while riding a snowmobile.
