Sask Snow Thread 2010/11 Season

[billy2guns]

Let everyone know the snow conditions as they happen.

Kenosee lake is getting hit with some good snow and 50 km/hr winds. The ditches are real close to being sled worthy.

 

[andystepper]

been snowing in weyburn for about 24hours now. about 10-15cm of new with a good couple inch base underneath.

 

[littlehoe]

been windy and snowy all day up in PA... still probably need some more but I think I may go for a rip in the ditch tomorrow or saturday...

 

[andystepper]

i've already run a tank of fuel this year. lol. might go out saturday if we get more.

 

[Rufer19]

Something like 10cm here in Swifty. Very fluffy right now so if we get some wind I imagine she'll be gone. Supposed to get real cold here they said on the radio -30`C with the windchill.

I'm planning on heading to North Battleford or Saskatoon on Saturday. Was watching the radar all day and it looked like the storm hung out over that area for a while. Could use visual confirmation, but I'll propably be going regardless.:d

 

[TABSTER]

yup we got snow....... still bordeline for riding but i am sure there will be diehards out tomorrow.

 

[Trax 2 Treadz]

I called out to Cypress yesterday...they have about 8 inches. They won't open the park until they have a foot or Dec. 1 which ever is later.

Hey Tabster. Can I go for a break-in run North on trail 112A towards Warman/Rosthern? Is it trail or ditch? Relatively free of obstacles? Just want to spin the track for 50 or so miles, Nothing crazy.

Still marginal.......... i would hold off till atleast the next dump....

Ya i went for a rip today and it needs another good 6" and to freeze. it was fun thats for sure, but still hitting some land mines that i wish i could have done without.

Your pretty brave Andy, I'm waiting for more before I take my sleds out. I was out running my dogs today by the tree lines west of the Ethanol plant. There were a couple guys out sledding in the tree lines, didn't happen to be you did it?

Where do they allow sledding in Cypress Hills?

 

[Trax 2 Treadz]

You stage up at the old ball diamonds. You can go north to the look out points. South to the road boundary. West to the park boundary their is a fence and east obviously to the ball diamonds.

If you go out call ahead to make sure the area is open and please please please stay in bounds. It is one of the park wardens favorite excuses for shutting down the area...people going out of bounds.

How is the riding/snow conditions there? Is it just trails?

 

[Trax 2 Treadz]

Nope no trails....you make your own...their is lots of different stuff out there...rolling hills, deep meadows, flat open areas. As far as snow conditions it really depends on the year we go threw everything from hard pack to deep powder.

nope wasn't me. when we went out on the first big snowfall on remembrance day we stuck to ditchs and a few tree lines east of town two miles by doc stewarts farm. we went out on sunday for most of the day. started at my buddies farm three miles east of town went south to the dump road. than played on the east side of hwy 35 south(BIG bank up the ditch.) we than cut across and played on the old dike behind minards. hit up can tire cause buddy needed plugs, stopped for coffee at timmys than headed back to the dump road and went down the highway to nickle lake to see if there was any pow in the trees there(not much of anything really). all in all it was a really good day out. stubble fields are pretty good. nice base underneath so not many rocks to hit.

were abouts do you ride around town? if at all.

 

[Bails]

So with all the recent snow, how are the snow conditions around the province???? Anyone been out much??? Let hear em / see em.

Carlyle and Kenosee has pretty good snow. It is still snowing as i write this.

There is talk of the local club opening there trail next week.

I am still unsure of the lakes they didnt have much time to set up before all this snow hit. If anyone has anything to add to this please do!

Alll i can say is this is definatly a bonus month for sledding around here :d

 

[andystepper]

was just out snowblown the driveway here in weyburn. looks like close to 4 or 5 inchs since this a.m.

haven't checked out the lake here yet but i did have to drive over the river in one spot and i didn't break through(was going about 40mph tho)
