Finally a snow storm is brining a significant amount of snow to the Timmins area. With the cold temperatures we should get a good freeze to help opening the OFSC trails. More snow is still required.

It's that time of year again, the OFSC Driver Training Courses in the Timmins area are starting. The first course date will be Nov. 13, 2010. The second will be Dec 4, 2010 and the third will be Dec 19, 2010. Space is limited as there are only 25 spots available per course. There will be courses offered in the new year.

Finally I was able to finish the new look for Gotsnow.ca. It now looks more finished and refined. If you have any comments on the new look please let me know.

I was finally able to upload the Timmins Snowmobile Club Trail layer to Google maps. I have not figured out how to have the trails color coded, but I have added points at various locations to label each trail.

Created a new snowmobiling video with the footage that I acquired over the past year. Includes powder riding, crashes and water skipping!

For the third consecutive year we managed to make it out to Death Valley near Beardmore, Ontario during the 2009 Christmas break. It snowed hard during the day but this year there was a minimal amount of snow on the ground making riding in this area a bit more difficult.

This year over 20 snowmobiles came out for the day from Geraldton, Timmins, Thunder Bay and Beardmore.

We hear that the pipeline will cutting brush and doing maintenance on the riding area this summer so hopefully next winter the hills will have more snow and more areas to ride with fewer obstacles. If you would like to join us for next years ride, send me an e-mail and I will keep you posted as dates are determined.

Pictures and video clips will soon be posted.
