Both groomers were out last night to work on smoothing out and packing down all of that snow. Still some soft spots out there but the trails aren't limited because of limited snow! Always check the ITG for the latest trail availability at OFSC.evtrails.com. Enjoy!

It sure pays to know a guy! Thanks to Mark for making the rest of the Swamp cleanup look easy! Was able to sneak in off of the road this morning and clean up the last section of trail. Too bad we can't do the whole Swamp that way πŸ˜… Just need it to freeze up in there now!

Yes please! We aren't ready to reopen yet - the wind is blowing a bunch of this new snow away, closing roads and burying driveways. Need some of that water from Sunday night to freeze up too. Stay tuned but stay off for now! We don't want to rescue you from a slush puddle ...

We're back! We were out yesterday to inspect trails and have gone limited on the majority of them. Please plan your route carefully. Some trails in our area remain closed due to water hazards. Always check the ITG at OFSC.evtrails.com or the Go Snowmobiling app.

Groomers worked away at 5-50 last night from Stratford to Seaforth - B111 is a dead end right now at Monkton until Milverton and/or B&W can open a connecting trail. Met B&W Trailblazers west of Mitchell last night! Check the ITG at OFSC.evtrails.com for live availability.

It’s with great sadness that we share with you the loss of a great friend and dedicated member of our club, Perry Bennewies. Perry passed away quietly at home surrounded by the love of his family. Rest easy Perry

Apparently we got a bit of snow once you remove the wind from the equation 😳 Lots of snow in the Ellice Swamp once we can reopen the trails to it! Rest of the trail system doesn't look quite that good but it's a start! Check the ITG at OFSC.evtrails.com for availability.

Back at it! We ran the east end Thurs night after the storm, but there wasn't much west of Mitchell to work with. Snow this morning helped but still some bare spots to the west. Got some yellow in the east though! Check the ITG at OFSC.evtrails.com for live availability.

More grooming action last night to get things cleaned up for your Sunday ride. These cold temps are really helping the trails set up and last! Conditions are great, get out and enjoy! Mind the storm this afternoon, worst of it stays south but visibility could still be an issue.
