When entering the Don Getty Wildland Park it is clearly marked to stay on the trail. If you want to be safe, just don't leave the trail from there until you drop into the BC side. Seems pretty straight forward to me!! You will know when you hit the divide and are in BC cause you are headed...
I might be in need of a partner to head over the divide with tomorrow for a look…. my buddy who I was going to go with is having some mechanical difficulty. I won’t be able to respond back till later tonight as I'm going to be away from the computer for a bit, so PM your cell # and I’ll txt you...
Usually see guys with snowbikes riding at Castle too... not sure of the legality around it as I have no reason to look into it, so i'm just throwing it out there.
In my last 8ish years riding the area, I’ve only ever witnessed 2 groups camping in tents, and neither group were sledders. One group was Church group from England and they were hiking/camping all along the divide, actually one of them was a little banged up so we gave a few of them a lift for a...
I love my '05 8.1L, had if for 8yrs now I think and it has about 160k on it. Had to redo the front end last year, but other than that it has been pretty solid. Just tires and batteries, for some reason lots of batteries (maybe because I don't drive it much, and maybe because they were originally...
Anybody have any feedback on the DS 3 skis?? How do the compare to the stock DS's currently on my sled? They are super skinny and have a deep keel, how well do they float/ride??
I picked up a Shorai Lithium battery last year, and it weighs less than 4lbs, but it had some issues. On cold days I was having troubles when the battery was too cold to turn my sled over. My fix was to add a simple LED toggle switch hooked directly up to it, and now when it is cold I flip the...
I won’t argue the signatures, I think it is all a load of BS and the Tim’s should not have pulled the ad. Majority of the people who have signed the petition were not likely Tim’s customers anyways, they are probably the Starbucks or the independent coffee shop crowd.
Having met you in...
Just some food for thought…. It is important to note that boycotting Tim’s is going to hurt your local owner more than anything, and your local owner had no input on whether the ad stayed or got pulled. The company as a whole will still make their money, and this is really only going to hit a...
Hope you had a great season Doug (and Barb). Sorry I didn't get a chance to ride with you this year, I never made it down to your neck of the woods at all. And with a little one at home now, I guess I should stay close and celebrate mothers day with my own wife for once! If you get out for your...
Fernie has 75cm of snow this week, Nakiska has 18cm. If I was headed out, I know where I would go, and it wouldn't be cataract. Fernie is an easy 'day trip', and so is Golden.
Sun has come out in Calgary and all the snow is pretty much gone! And with such little snow this year, there isn't even much gravel around making it pretty decent for a bike ride!!
Anybody else getting out for their first rides of the year??
Sure you can stage, there was a couple inches of snow on all the trails we saw, but you could certainly hear the rocks underneath of it scratching your skis up. Like I mentioned above, probably not worth going over the divide until it gets another dump, at least in my opinion. We didn't go...
If anybody is headed out to try the pass this weekend, I would personally recommend that if they know of any fun areas on the AB side to go there first. Going over the pass has about 30cm of fresh on the AB side, but it is about 5cm of fresh on top of lots of old tracks on the BC side. None of...
I've got the same sled, and I've had similar problems. One of my sensors had fouled up and had to be replaced. Pretty sure it was the one in the can and not the one in the pipe, but I'm not 100%. I'll check tonight to see if I made a note which at home... I had actually taken mine into the shop...
