Thanks to the rider that took it upon himself  to remove  and open a gate for a CLOSED  trail !  

Anything happens to anyone its on your conscience! 

This lack of respect is what causes  closed trails and landowners not to allow permission for use. WAY TO GO!

If you are a vistor riding our HSR trails.. keep on riding because around here we appreciate and respect our landowners! 

Thi LACK OF RESPECT CAUSES US TO LOOSE TRAILS! 

Trail update:

February 23rd 2013  

 

This season has been like no other for the Hillsburgh Snow Roamers in over 40 years!
We must all remember that our volunteers that put trails in have full time jobs as well… and that sometimes timing  can be an  issue. We only had snow blowing in to meet our staked  trail section just this past week. We check the trails regularly and although our trails are staked close to fence lines… the snow had not made it to our  staked sections until this past week. Now we can finally do something with it…
 One section may be ready and another not…..  and we can not fly over a section that is not… so we wait… something that is hard for our riders and for our volunteers. Everyone wants to same thing…  to ride…. 
Staking normally takes place and is completed by Mid Dec but with the abnormal mild and WET winter we had until really the 2nd weekend in Feb has been an issue. Staking was not able to be completed in some areas due to the water… we when installing trails in November sunk our Polaris,  and cattle remained  out!  I know its hard when you see white stuff everyone wants to go.. but really it isn’t that easy.. we must protect the crops and our landowners as well without their land and permission we have no trails!
We opened the B202  rail line giving access to our local riders  allowing riders  to  get where the snow was.  This worked tremendously… 
 
Yesterday Friday and today Sat  our groomer and volunteers were out completing the trail sections and these trails are now ready to ride. Please check the OFSC web site on the interactive trail guide at www.ofsc.on.ca  prior to any riding. 
 
Mud lake trail #126 intersection  #110  to meet up with Orangeville remains closed due to water .. Follow road to trail. 
 
 
Thank you. 

IMPORTANT TRAIL UDPATE

February 8th 2013  

Volunteers of the Hillsburgh Snow Roamers are trying their best to work with winter like conditions that have finally arrived.!!!!!!!!!!  Please check the trail status on the www.ofsc.on.ca for all updates. 

We now have  Rail line, B202 open with limited conditions. BUT ALL OTHER FEEDER TRAILS REMAIN CLOSED UNTIL LISTED DIFFERENT. PLEASE DO NOT RIDE ON CLOSED TRAILS MANY OF THE FEEDER TRAILS ARE NOT COMPLETELY INSTALLED DUE TO CATTLE REMAINING OUT UNTIL JUST LAST NIGHT and the mild wet weather left water in some areas of our trails not allowing us to complete the trail install.

IF RIDERS DO NOT STAY OFF THE FEEDER TRAILS WE WILL HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO CLOSE ALL TRAILS! 

Open gates does mean open trails…… check the ofsc web site before you ride!

LETS ALL ENJOY WHAT LITTLE WINTER LIKE CONDITIONS WE HAVE FOR AS LONG AS WE CAN. 

Thank you!

The Hillsburgh Snow Roamers exectuive.
