Mine would be the Bowles cut-off on the OVSC system.

No one trail in particular, they're all great when the conditions are good. But on Saturday afternoons at about lunchtime when the homemade chilli is simmering up a storm, you can't beat the "feeder" trail that leads in to the Scrub Oaks Scramblers snack shack!

Damn, where's that hot dog eatin' smiley!!!!

Please, join a Club where you regularly ride...and when you see a Groomer Jar hopefully give what you can as every penny counts!

I love the Bowles Cut-off also. All the way up past the Liberty Trail and continuing down to the Muddgetts Paugus Trail intersection. Just beautius out there.
Spend a day on a work crew with your snowmobile club. You'll meet some real wackos (an experience not to be missed) and you'll sure to do it again just out of a sick sense of curiousity!
High performance motor sports and booze don't mix. Nascar drivers drink Coke NOT RUM AND COKE. Over every hill and around every corner is a Mom and Dad, Grand parents and little kids trying to learn the sport. Ride accordingly. RIDE RIGHT! Pay Attention out there!

You mean THIS section? This was taken April 13th, we were on official club patrol buisness. Someone had to check for blowdowns and such! :)

I like the trail up to Mt. Shaw. It looks like a tobaggan run, with the banked corners. Last year, we ventured onto a section we shouldn't have been and got stuck. We turned the sleds around and headed back. This year I have to pay attention. Good Time! I don't think I'm up for the Bowles trail. Is that the one that requires an avalanche shovel? plowking

If you like the trail up Mt Shaw you would have loved the Faraway trail up at the Castle on the Clouds. Maybe some day The Lakes Region Conservation Trust will allow us to access the Faraway trail :sad:

There are two trails on the OVSC system with the same name just different spelling :wacko: The Bowles Trail goes from White Lake to Wonalancet. The Bolles Trail that you are talking about goes up and over the Sandwich Range from Wonalancet to the Kank. And yes you had better be prepared as you have to climb some pretty tricky terrain and must return on the same trail.
