Hey Everyone, Ive attached the grooming update for you to view.

Nothing new really, last few days have been sunny skies:d. Im sure by now the tracks are plenty, but there is ALWAYS fresh lines to be had out here, you may just need to get a bit creative at times.

Using numbers are slowly declining. We are grooming Chappell again tonight with the rest, but this may be the last non-regularly scheduled groom for this area as we will most likely be getting back to normal schedule.

One important NOTE is that the Clemina Trail has very low snow for the first 3km and we may no longer be able to groom that portion. So even if you dont see the groomer, the trail will be groomed from 3km on

That's sad seeing stuff like that. :( People like that get what's coming to them sooner or later. Just hope it's sooner than later.:realmad:

Rode with Tapex and Powerteker day 1 and Tapex and 2 others day 2. Snow conditions were great and blue skies, lot's of untouched snow, doesn't get much better. Tagged a rock on day 3 and snapped the upper A arm so had to head out early.

chitty your trip had to end early. Lots of folks say the riding in the premiers is still awesome as you pictures show ! Hopefully next time we can ride together again. Should come up on a mon-tuesday some time

It turns my stomach to see such a lack of respect for the backcountry.
