Plc Thanks I think we stayed at the fairfield inn before years ago. I am thinking of going to Chapleau staying overnight head to timmins and come around the top back to the soo. Been years since I  have been back to Ontario. Will see how this storm effects the area. Thanks again 

Thanks for sharing the pics! Looks like a fun time. How many km's of groomed trails do they have? 

Looking at the OFSC online map   https://ofsc.evtrails.com/#   there are 2 with decent trail access. The Fairfield Inn & Suites and the Ambassador Motel.  I haven't stayed at either of them and don't know what the availability of trailer parking would be. You would be best to get fuel top up at Goulais River. The only other spot that had fuel last year was the ski hill at Searchmount but I can't verify it's stiill available Jeff. You might have to come beck the way you go out based on trails open when you leave. Hope this helps.

Better  to get at arranging rooms ASAP. Everything that I have read says its very busy up there. Signifigant storm going through today and tomorrow.

Spent a week in Nfld recently. Never been, was quite an experience. Flew into Deer Lk and rode out of Corner Brook for the week. Craig Borden , Rugged Edge in Corner Brook is the man! All the staff we interacted with were equally accommodating, absolutely top notch. Excellent guide and host. We rode a variety of sleds. I rode a 146 Polaris Voyageur 650 all week. Other sleds were Yamaha transporter and AC Norseman 800s 154 skid. All excellent shape and no issues.    Primarily rode from Deer Lk west to Corner Brook then South to Stephenville and north of Corner Brook to Woody Point. Lots of snow and trails generally well maintained. Very remote riding areas..little to no services between towns. Vast areas of crown to play off trail. Lots of warm up shacks to stop at, we always packed lunch and snacks. I would call it adventure sledding..it helps if you are into remote riding and navigating more remote areas. The locals pretty much just use the trails to access remote camps and off trail play areas. Huge bog areas and cut over areas to play in. I found it to be more similar to BC riding than anything else I’ve experienced in the east. Terrain and weather similar to Gaspe Que riding..can get very windy and poor visibility w squalls and drifting. If you enjoy exploring off trail breaking your own trail in the hills this is it. The area south of Corner Brook in the Lewis Hills and Blow me down Mountains on the west coast is huge. You could spend an entire week riding out of CB and playing in this area and never run out of new ground.    All that being said..I’d go back. The people of Nfld are the best. Very welcoming and truly want you to experience their customs and way of life. I’ve heard from others this same description but you must see it to appreciate it. Every where we went we were made to feel like friends and family.
