i just need for it to stick for teo months! because ill be up february 2nd! no, thats only one month. wow, its coming up fast. good to have updates like this...it's easier to keep track of whats going on in trip areas.

Lake Simcoe is nearly frozen, in about two weeks the whole thing will be safe to ride on (would be sooner, but they're calling for 10* or something stupid on Friday)

Not sure if trails are open or not

skidoo_magoo · 01-11-2005, 08:44 PM

my dad's trying to get a trip planned up there for this weekend! how's it lookin? it's a weird situation... we dont know if we're leaving or not, and we'd leave thursday night. i would like info on weather thru monday, please.

please say you got some rideable snow! we'll go anywhere in ontario! looking around the bracebridge area first, but anywhere with snow! (we're desperate and dont care where we go or not... just need to put on some miles.)

Yikes! Today and tomorrow we're sitting between 6 - 10 degrees C with rain (and that's all across Ontario). Then it's going to dip below freezing on Saturday with snow. I'm not sure what this weather will do to our trails but I hope it's not too bad. Good luck.

i'd hold off if I were you....good place to check trail conditions is www.ofsc.on.ca

I know the trails around Barrie / bracebridge are dicey and with the rain and warm weather will be crap...give it another week at least for some new snow!

delco583 · 01-12-2005, 03:02 PM

I agree with hoss. I'd wait for some more snow to fly. Check out this link too http://weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/foreca...x_e.html?id=ON for the weather in Ontario by city. Again, good luck!

skidoo_magoo · 01-12-2005, 03:35 PM

alright. im dissapponted, but we are coming up the beginning of february and i hear it's supposed to cool off by then right?

this trip was an extra need to get some miles on trip. oh well. this has been a bad season for riding...

thanks for the link though.

skidoo_magoo · 01-12-2005, 08:32 PM

turns out the trails in bracebridge are open, and the girl at the hotel said it would be fine to ride in. so, see you guys in ontario soon. maybe we can have that race G... hehehe

G-ForceJunkie · 01-13-2005, 06:14 PM

so when are you coming Magoo?

there isn't much in the Barrie area right now, lake is wide open.

skidoo_magoo · 01-13-2005, 06:59 PM

got a call last night at 10... been rescheduled till next wednesday because all the snow in bracebrigde is about to melt.

so ill be up next wednesday thru sunday, then the thursday before the superbowl till the superbowl.

G-ForceJunkie · 01-16-2005, 05:34 PM

Part of Lake Simcoe is frozen, around the edges, the whole thing should be freezing pretty soon (considering it's pretty cold here now), there is snow at the sides of the roads, on your average piece of grass there is just enough snow to cover the grass...

not sure if trails are open or not.

That said, about 45mins north-west, there is a lot more snow than barrie

Why don't you find out then to let people know instead of replying your not sure all the time.

G-ForceJunkie · 01-16-2005, 08:01 PM

like it or not, people ride on more than just trails,
If I can only say what 2 of the 3 snowmobile passages are like, should I just not bother posting?

there is a sticky with the Ontario trail reports in it in this forum, would you like a link ?

there isn't however a site where you can go and find out if the lake is frozen, or snow is on the roads, so my previous post is actually MUCH MORE useful than just saying "the trails are open"

so go screw yourself

g. f off kid.

Put on 170 miles on Saturday. Rode from Fenelon Falls to Bancroft and back. The trails are incredible and Ontario is going into a deep freeze for the next week or so. I love this weather!

sledsal · 01-18-2005, 11:36 AM

No snow really in Orangeville area. All trails are still closed!

G-ForceJunkie · 01-23-2005, 09:42 PM

Toronto area got about 8 inches, up north got about nothing

Lake Simcoe is completely frozen over now though, no worries of going through

skidoo_magoo · 01-23-2005, 11:08 PM

well, lake nipissing is froze. went on that everday...like a sheet of glass!

hey, anyone have any info on the races they had this weekend? or are some coming up? we saw a lane marked "caution- race track", and it wasnt set up before...

G-ForceJunkie · 01-25-2005, 04:59 PM

there are a few tracks on Lake Simcoe, I use them as I please

I'm not aware of any schedule they have....if you really want though, I bet you could find it
