Larry Berrio’s Done a Ton of Snowmobiling So Far This Winter. Here’s Where He Rode, Stayed, and Fuelled Up.
The snow is plentiful (finally). The OFSC trails are groomed and open for business. All that's left to do is...ride. We caught up with one of Northern Ontario's avid snowmobilers (and country music stars) to talk about his adventures so far this season.
You’re an avid snowmobiler based in Sudbury. What rides have you done?
So far, I did a run from Val Caron to Cartier. I enjoyed fish and chips at Kelly's Family Diner. I rode a few times locally north of Capreol. We love hitting up Firehouse Restaurant to fuel up—they've got the best poutine in Sudbury.
Last year we didn't get much snow. What are the trail conditions like now in February?
So far the snow is getting better and better, the trails in the Sudbury area are in really good shape.
Editor’s note: Check the OFSC Interactive Trail Guide for up to the minute trail info.
Where’d you stay on your overnight trips?
Our overnight ride included a stop for a buffet breakfast at Hiawatha's on Lake Wahnapetei then off to Auld Reekie Lodge on Lake Gowganda. The food and hospitality is over the top. We enjoyed a beautiful steak dinner, baked potatoes which was so delicious with an amazing breakfast the following morning before we hit the trails.
