Glen...that wasn't me that blew past you on the trail last week as I haven't been out. In fact, just sold my pair of 2 strokes last week and I'm now looking at new sleds again.
Have fun out there over the holidays as it looks like snow is falling already. Maybe a good 12+ inches by tomorrow. :)
You bet Cory. I recall we all got stuck at the Summit. You then Ian, then me before getting a couple more on the way down the back side. You were having fun in 4' of fresh with your old Summit and Ian was trenching 2' deep with his M8 while I was trying to stay out of his lines and buried that...
If you study this trail map, you shouldn't have any problem with getting to the south end of the trails. That's where you find the best snow to play in.

Sometimes we'd pick up the logging road just to fast...
Curious is anyone ventured south to Skyline and beyond to the south meadows yet. Usually there is a lot more snow back there and I'm itching to get out this week.
But you can still make blender drinks when you're inside looking out at the cold. Like maybe....Tequila :D
Hoping to get out myself...maybe next week if it warms up a spot or two. First time in years for me.
Got another 6" of snow this week and took the 05 Viper out for a little rip to see how it sounds. Hoping to get it out to the mountains next week.
Here a quick clip of video showing how the SLP "quiet" triples sound on a 700 Viper. Love it.
Thinking I'll head out next week to check out the trails during the poker run. Hope there's one more good dump of snow before then. The one this week was decent around Okotoks
Anyone heading out today or tomorrow? Been busting to get my Viper out for a good ride and would like to find someone to ride with. Maybe ride the trails to the south end and see what the snow is like?

Haven't had much snow around Okotoks but did get enough for a few rips around the acreage and down a few ditches. Sled runs like a raped ape and sounds just wicked. Was hoping to get out today but will wait for some fresh at Cataract before taking them out. Also rebuilt the top end on the second...
Will do Glen,
Been off the sleds for a few years and busting at the seams to get out and try out this 2-stroke I just hopped up. Might be looking for someone to ride with this weekend so I can put a few miles on this SX Viper and see how it is after doing some mods. Might do a few loops if the...
We used to take Cummings to the crossover and then peel off on the old road to get way south of the trail so we could play in the blocks and the meadows south of the trail system. I believe the last couple years it was OK to ride that old road if you stayed to the side and shared it with the...
SLP discontinued the pipes for the older 700 triples but Landon at The Sled Parlor found a set for me and just installed them while re-jetting my carbs and hopping up the clutch on my SX Viper. Hoping for some fresh snow today so I can get out and test the sled before heading to Cataract to get...

This is the Canmore and K-Country forecast and the snow and the wind are supposed to spread south as well. Fingers crossed.

Did anyone take any pics of the snow there the past few days? They should be getting another dump the next 48 hours and I'm hoping it's good as I'd like to ride there next week.
The 55 went to Southern California...and I bought this Canadian Docs 69 Z/28 last week. Original Ft St John car that was drag raced from the early 70's and sold into Edmonton in the 80's. It was raced up there for years before going to a Red Deer owner who raced it for another 4-5 years. It's...
