James Bay Frontier
Yes, we still have plenty of snow despite the fact the weather has been mild. As expected the southernmost parts of the James Bay Frontier are waiting for their usual big winter snowfall to happen in the next two weeks, followed by a nice deep freeze. The trails are maintained by the excellent volunteers at the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) . The JBF is such a huge area that it covers two distinct OFSC districts. The southern district is known as OFSC District 14. Not all the trails are open there. The trails are open in the more northern regions of the frontier in the area known os OFSC District 15.
I was out in the bush on the weekend and noticed that while there is already 18 to 24 inches of fallen snow in most areas, that doesn't mean there is two feet of snow packed down on the trails. But let's be positive. The good snow is on the way. The other concern is the status of the numerous lakes and rivers in this area. Once again, the lakes and rivers are indeed frozen over for the most part in District 15, but not fully so in District 14. By all means feel free to contact us at info@jamesbayfrontier.com for a quick and easy update. Here's a helpful toll free phone number for trail conditions: 1-888-828-2766.
