Has anyone ridden this trail system? I am looking to book a trip there in the end of February. Are these trails well marked? Are they wide and safe as I have a couple of newbie's going with me this year. Last I heard they didn't even have any snow yet! Any current info on the Sudbury area would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

OFSC Trail Conditions

Doesn't look to good right now, but a lot can happen in a month.

I wouldn't totally rely on the trail conditions on the ofsc site. I was on a couple this past weekend that were indeed open, yet are still listed as closed.

Yaa I totally agree with this ,my buddys ride disc.9&5 and some of the trails say there close, but they are open, it is up to the clubs, to keep a up date on the OFSC site,they are sledding & not on there computers, just go for it You will have a great time.

I hope a lot happens in the next 2 weeks because 8 of us are hoping to rise from the Soo to Hearst and back. Never been there,but sure hope I can. You Canadians need to do some bigger snow dances

your tellin me! I have been callin around up there and it still doesn't sound like there is that much snow. It could be disastrous for their tourism. I was talking to a motel in Sudbury a couple of weeks ago and they were completely vacant for February and the North Adventure Inn in Cochrane said he was empty when I talked to him on Sunday afternoon! Some friends of mine are in Cochrane right now so hopefully things are good. I called Sudbury earlier in the week and they only had 5-6 inches then.

hope they get some snow up there, ontario has some very nice riding. i take the lakes around north bay arent frozen? i dunno, last i heard (whci was a whiel ago) was that there wasnt any snow. some came through areas recently it sounds like though...

Cdndairyman · 02-03-2007, 07:46 AM

Just read the report and I guess North Bay dropped 2 groomers in the swamp last week. I guess the lakes are getting pretty froze up now though. It is quite cold up there, close to -30C at night!

skidoo_magoo · 02-03-2007, 11:05 AM

wow...last trip up there, we got a bit worried because it rained the whole drive through canada up there. but then it got really cold and the lakes were actually frozen haha. 0 snow on them though, very slick.

I have run into this as well. (closed trails that are open) I think what the OFSC is doing, is trying to keep as many people as possible off the trails, so they can build a base. All it takes is a couple of yahoo's riding fast,spinning tracks and the trail is back to the ****s!

I heard that North Bay just got dumped on. The weather network said upwards of 40cm's. Maybe look into a trip up there?

I heard that too but I guess it was just fluffy snow and they are still having a hard time getting a base down.

hey guy's I'm from Midland, around 1.5-2 hours north of Toronto. Since saturday we got over a metre of snow. Georgian Bay has been solid for weeks now. The tree lines have been up for a while and huts are out. Not much of a trail rider, but there all open up here and looking really good. But yeah no shortage of snow or cold up here right now
