Warm weather forces snowmobile trail closures across the region

The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs has closed trails across the region due to mild weather and melting snow.

Snowmobile riders eager to hit the snow are going to have to hit the brakes on the excitement.

Mild temperatures are putting a pause on snowmobiling across the region as the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) closes trails due to deteriorating snow conditions.

Officials say the warmer weather has made many trails unsafe, prompting closures until conditions improve. While it’s a setback right now, forecasts of colder temperatures offer hope, with trails expected to reopen by mid-next week.

The OFSC is urging snowmobilers to stay off closed trails and keep an eye on updates before planning any rides. As crews assess trail conditions and prepare for the reopening, they say safety remains a top priority.

With winter still in full swing, riders are encouraged to be patient and plan ahead to ensure a safe return to the trails.
