Probably 25 plus times.

It was tracked up.

Any good stuff is a rock-arm waiting to happen.

Found one good tree freshly ( small )
And area 51 wasn't too bad till every one went there.

To be honest I don't know when the closure starts and area 51/52 are in Quartz Creek snowmobile terrain. As in they are legal all good. Venturing past there is "closure date" dependent. I've been asking around the past few days trying to figure it out....
Carbon I'd like to know all, but I don't.
I just thought maybe someone on this forum might know right off. Do you know? Does anyone know?
Either way, snow has been awesome so far for this time of year. We had a meeting last night to discuss when we are going to start Grooming Gorman and Silent and looks like it will be coming up soon! Snow dependent we might start as early as next week!!! Fingers crossed.

we went to our secret stash today ...
about 5 n-abit cm"s of wet fresh.
super warm temps
we were parking sleds at 2200m and boot packing for turns but it was still wet and warm ... hmmm ...
still a shallow pack.
buddy smoked his chain case on a rock, rt1000 and lost all his oil.
and I just happened to be carrying oil.
yesterday I was the only one with a tow rope, and it was needed.
and people wonder why carry so much ch!t ...

we're trying not to piss off (too much) a ski touring lodge,
so there is "pressure" not to disclose how close trucks can park to their "tenure"
its an uneasy relationship ...
we keep our ch!t together, don't bring assholes, and don't chew up their terrain.
and we sometimes get free hot lunches.
but extracting people from a creek when the guide has blazed off down a gully with half the group has made us laugh ... and cringe !!!
