Anyone on the forum from Timmins or surrounding area?
I make frequent trips to Iroqois Falls, Cochrane, Kapuskasing, Gogama, Sudbury.
Always looking for people to ride with.

I've ridden in those areas before, mainly because there isn't enough snow here.
The way this winter is going, I may have to take a vacation week off just to sled somewhere up there.
If I do, we should hook up!

Absolutely, let me know if/when/where 
Hey go into the Bait and Tackle store and drag Leon Dumoulins lazy butt out for a ride!!

I never had a problem with Big Way last year when I was runnin my RMK, great service.
As for J&B, the salesman who sold me the slead was no hell, didn't seem very knowledgable as he had to get someone everytime I had a question, they didn't have the MCat tarp, spare belt, at time of purchase I had to wait.
He did cut a great deal with the price, cause I work with his wife, that's the only reason they got my business cause I would have walked away otherwise.
The speedo didn't work upon delivery, apparently the speed sensor is pooched, something you think they would have checked on the bench...
I asked when I bring it in if they can hook up my visor heater, they said sure, cost about 50 bux, you'd think for the inconvience of me having to bring a brand new sled back to get an unchecked part fixed they would just do it out of the kindness of there heart...
Also I had to wait just over a week from purchase date to take delivery as they needed the altitude kit....
Not impressed at all....

The trails in Timmins are still GORGEOUS! If you want me to send some pics from the region, email me at mcg@nt.net. Heading out today, -19C right now going up to -3C, PERFECT! 
Freezerburnt is up that way, he is always looking for someone to ride with. I stick too Haliburton trails myself......
I heard they got 10-15inches aka 20-35+cm last night and today about an hr north of here they closed 144 this morning
Trials are fair to good as of Dec29th we got rain wish ruined a few spots but then again we still have the base
I travel a good protion of the trail on a daily basis (to work and back ) I try to get a good feel for the balance so I pick a different route when ever i can
Have fun on the teails

Trails on January 18th are in good condition. Had a very cold week (-35C no wind chill) so the base is solid. A few more snowfalls and te trails will be perfect!
