Durham is supposed to get 5-10 cms over night tonight.    Most of the area got 5 cms yesterday. Some places got close to 10.

Maybe we will get lucky and get some fresh snow tomorrow. 

This is a Tee intersection just east of Harriston. Double groom in each direction.         Trails are always peak just before they go away.

We ended up not trailering. Just rode from my buddy's place.    If I was going Friday. I'd drop in Teviotdale and head towards Harriston, Durham and Mount Forest. The east side of Durham and Mount Forest had the best snow. The Forest trails east of Durham were perfect, except the trail heading west from the Homestead. I could see where a tree and some limbs had been cleaned up this morning. I imagine the groomer will be through there soon. The trail to the northwest of Durham is thinner with less grooming.   South of Teviotdale the snow levels drop a fair bit. The odd bare corner and the tops are thin in the fields. Nothing showing yet but you can feel the odd click of the carbide.    Avoid Lake Conestogo. No grooming of any kind around there. Its beat and frozen. Nice fresh groom around St Clements and Heidelberg but its thin in places. The sun and warm temps will take their toll Friday, Saturday.   We ended up seeing 15-20 sleds total for the day.   280 kms for the day. I'll be over 10k kms on the Mach next ride.    Yes, I seen you PLC.  

I have watched ya’ll riding these past two months and I can’t take it anymore!  This is the first season in 21 years I have not been out on the trails. I really need to get out for a ride.  Kicker is I don’t have access to my sled (2022 Skiddoo 900 Ace) I’ve looked up rentals. Not sure about borrowing? I have all my complete gear and helmet.✅     My experiences over the 20 years include: - barrel rolling, while skipping across the lake up north 🤕 - tipping F5 kitty back in the day oh so many times 🫣 - sat for 15 min on the iced up river, on border of Quebec in the dark alone (except coyotes) because my sled overheated and shut down, waiting for my partner to realize I wasn’t behind him🤣 - heavy Yamaha Vector bogging down in the ditch but what a sweet ride outside of ditches😁 - panicking at sudden stop in front of me, grabbing throttle instead of brakes and riding into my group of sleds (not a moment I was proud of) 🫣 - rode many ice hills, swamps, mud up to my knees (yes succesfully!)✅ - rode through a foot of slush across lake Muskoka (made it without stopping)✅   - ***!!! NOT looking for any more repeats of those experiences at my age now 🙏🏼🫢🙄   - I can easily ride 200+k day rides✅ - my dad is located on the Orillia 207 lakefront trail and my cousin is across from Carden✅✅ - I’m currently in KW (love the trails here) and willing to drive east, west or north Ontario to meet up.✅✅ -I would be a great accompaniment to ride with your wife and/or hang out with her while the guys did a power ride…whatever.   - oh ya I have attended OFSC AGM 3 times representing our club and I ran the local Snowmobile License course issuing licenses for a few years so I know the rules.  I’m really not a bad driver to have along for the ride. -we do have a couple more weeks right?   … Di (aka Snowgirlfx)
