Just out of curiosity I was surfing the OFSC web site and I noticed that district 9 has updated trail conditions (a couple days ago) .WAY TO GO these are done by vollenteers last year i don't think we saw anything untill Dec. The trails are still closed but it's nice to see some action. It's coming folks WOOHOO!! :D :D :D

Way to go Indy I was checking it out then I realized it was updated too those date numbers had me messed up. I didn't check out dist. 5 much last year because you guys didn't get any snow last year sorry. Again thanks and keep up the good work

Ahem; point of information;
The Southern Snowriders (District 5) were the first club to have their trails open in all of Ontario last year. They're the southern-most club in all of Canada. They had 2 feet of snow in a 24 hour period on Christmas day. They had people trailering down from as far away as Bracebridge. They had awesome riding for the next month or two.
Let's hope this year's a repeat!
Jacqui.

Yea thats true , I almost fell off my chair last Dec when thier president called me and asked me to open a section of their trails. I thought he had been smoking something , but he assured me that that had the snow . And people did come from all over to ride there . Why do most people think we never get snow in southwestern ontario ? We had around 4-6 inches fall on Friday , there are some serious snow belts in this area.
