the Paudash Trail Blazers Snowmobile Club

Paudash Trail Blazers Snowmobile Club has just over 300 km of amazing trails extending from Gooderham to near Bancroft and from just north of Apsley to the south end of Algonquin Park.

Our trails connect to other great trails going in every direction.

There are services available through our club area (gas, food snowmobile dealers and accommodation) so you can be assured of an enjoyable ride no matter where you go.

Watch for club events like the cookout during the sledding season as well, where you can enjoy a BBQ’d delight and a drink.

That's it Folks

Well, we held on as long as we could but things have just deteriorated to the point that riding just wouldn't be worth it and the forecast is dismal for the upcoming week, which will just expose a lot more dirt and rocks.

We want to extend a huge thanks to the grooming team for delivering such great trails with so little to work with. They were constantly looking at the weather and the state of the trails to see if grooming was feasible without breaking equipment and that it might make trails that little bit better. Well done team!

Just a reminder that lakes remain questionable at best and we have observed unexpected holes in ice and a lot of pressure cracks in places that we don't normally see them. As many of you know, we never did stake 2 of our lakes this year, which made it a very unusual year.

Finally, just a reminder to ATV enthusiasts, snowmobile trails are not necessarily ATV trails and we strongly urge you to stay off property that is not designated for ATVs. We are always one or two landowners away from losing trails due to trespassing.

The old refrain applies: we can't wait until next year!

Thank you from all of us over here, next door. "A" for effort ! The season was beyond challenging.

Thanks guys, despite the whiners we can only do so much with what you had to work with!

Thanks for all the effort!

When the trails had enough snow, they were turned into gems, thanks!

As always, our trails were best-in-class, just like the club and team that maintains them! Thank you for doing so much with so little.

Great job considering the lack of you know what.

Great effort from all of you at PTSC. Whether the season was 2 days or 2 mths, your efforts starting WAY before the snow even flies and after the season, does not go unappreciated. Thank you, all.

Respecting our Landowners

We know the vast majority of snowmobilers appreciate our landowners' contribution to the success of our system and respect their properties by staying on the trail and not leaving garbage behind. That being said, we do hear from landowners occasionally that people are throwing their trash on the side of the trail and wandering off the trails into open spaces that they find.

We can't say it strongly enough: this kind of behaviour is unacceptable and will cause landowners to revoke permission, resulting in closed trails. There is nothing the club can do in this situation so we ask that all sledders help reinforce the message in your riding groups that we all hear so much: stay on the trail and take your garbage with you.

So sad that this type message needs to be constantly posted 😢. Thank you for your ongoing efforts to keep our trails open!

One day.... they'll be caught dooing it by the wrong person. Karmas a b%$#&@

Leave tracks only!

Well said neighbour. There is no excuse for littering.

In the days when we rode, this was always a problem. Those people don't care as they are not locals and will go somewhere else next ride.
