I have a buddy with a 17 g4 that is on original belt still at 2500km. Grenaded his motor over the holidays. Sounds like something bottom end. Apparently warranty is dec 1 to dec 1. So no warranty for him. Any one want to buy a sled with no motor?
Not sure if anyone here has this bag (battery operated airbag) but there has been a notice from arcteryx that the minimum operating temperature is now -20 Celsius.

Is there actually a sled cabin further up the valley? I noticed on the little maps and back country maps that there is one. I haven't been up that way though. Usually just go in through RP/koko. Is there much riding up there on the west side or mostly old roads?

Multiple avalanches this weekend from kananaskis to Sicamous. Mostly skiers but lots of reports of wind loading and new snow on the late October crust. Forecasts are calling for a natural cycle starting tomorrow. In the rogers pass (quartz) area
Looks like GSC is going to try and make their first pass with the new groomer Friday night then start charging Saturday. 25$ and they prefer credit card this year. But snow forcasted fingers crossed it comes.
