what's wrong with that?

possible sink holes can pop up, which is nice to know

and they are using a Snowmobile drag vs a groomer on a 1.9km trail

I fail to see why you are laughing dunno.gif

Not really laughing, just can't believe that they would keep a trail open that you could possibly kill yourself on with unsuspecting sink holes lurking.

I have to disagree. This is an offroad uncontrollable environment. A tree could fall across any trail anywhere in the province and the clubs have no control over it. Likewise when water starts undermining the trails they can't control it. They will do their best to correct the problem, but mother nature is an uncontrollabe beast. 99% of the trail is more than likely a 9 out of 10, but there is that one creek that is starting to open up. If clubs had to wait for all of these problems to fix themselves 90% of the trail system would only be open for a week or two at the most each season. That's the reality of snowobile trails. If you don't like it than don't go. The club is doing their part by warning you to watch out for a potential hazard. Now the ball is in your court. You make the decision on whether you ride there or not. Welcome to todays litigious society. They have done their part by maintaining the trail with the resources available and warning you about hazards which do or may exist. Now it's the riders decision and we all stay out of court if and or when they get hurt.

That is why they are cautionning you

the trail can't be 99% rideable but beware some place have sink holes in some areas with running water

I know of alot of places where you get the odd sink hole but the rest of trail is A-1, it is not like I would park my sled,but rather take it easy but still have a good time riding
