Finally getting some snow around OS. 10-12" in the last 24 hours and still coming down. No change in the ITG on the Huron side of highway 6. We definitely need the cold to freeze up all the swamp trails around here. Some spots will ruin your day in a hurry. Clubs are working on it so I hope to see some changes today. Recent pic

Carden trails cover a lot of Ramara TWP road allowances and Orillia club has a blanket agreement in place with Ramara.  Orillia tried to get permission to open the Carden trails and were told no by OFSC.     The Carden trails were open last year and could be open and have plenty of snow for riding.  It’s a shame in the best year for the area for awhile and no open trails!   Trails could be open if not for OFSC BS!!    Funny in October when I bought my 2 trail permits I checked off Carden Sno Drifters for my club.   Why did OFSC have a defunct club listed and what would happen to any permit revenue that should have gone to Carden?    

Most of them around here are the local township, region, municipality, etc. The short story is that in many cases, no one actually knows who has the signing authority so it goes to council meeting, goes for review, goes to a legal team, blah, blah, blah and you wait for the answer to come at the speed of local government.   I see PLC has answered the same.  

My guess is the club(s) are still working on getting MOU's signed.

This was a very big job covering all landowners that trails cross in Ontario. Many municipalities hava a complicated procedure for approvals that includes their legal department and they take a long time especially when you run into things like the municipal contact retiring and the replacement knowing little about snowmobiling and nothing about sled trails. Then sometimes it has to go to council after that. If one property on a trail doesn't have a signed MOU the trail from the closest intersection in either direction can't even be staked or signed until that MOU is signed and put through the District office then the trail will show back up on the map and the other work starts. The people doing all this work are volunteers with jobs, families and a life away from snowmobiling. Some clubs started the process of getting the MOU's signed  well over a year ago and still aren't finished..
