More northern trails remaining open — for now
A strong season for snowmobiling clubs is starting to come to an end now that trails are closed south of Greater Sudbury.
The head of the Sudbury Trail Plan Association said trails are still open north of the city, but how much longer depends on the weather.
"As long as the temperatures remain cool — and don’t go above zero too often during the day — we’ll keep them open as long as we can,” Chuck Breathat said. “But to give a number of days, that will all depend on Mother Nature."
‘A bonus’
The snowmobiling season has been better than average because the trails opened earlier than expected, he said, adding the association also sold close to 15 per cent more trail passes this year than last year.
Good weather was the key.
"It’s been a better than average season,” he said.
“Right about now is about the time the trails generally we ask people to stay off them. So anything from here on in is a bonus."
Breathat noted weather conditions are generally spring-like and snowmobilers need to be careful.
