Maybe I will have time to powder coat things if the snow report looks so bleak. I'm hoping we get that dump coming up but I don't think I'll be riding till dec 13 or so at this rate

I'll be running up to Clemina cabin today or tomorrow to drop some stuff off , I'll take some pics , the good news is it's only accessible now by sled . I'll take a true measurement of snow depth . And yes we have snow in near forecast fingers crossed.

I can say there's snow at 6 km , I unloaded at 10 km roughly about 6 inches of snow there . Another post to follow

Long story short , About 14 km , sled hit a big rut moving very slow as I was hauling a load it rolled on its side pinning my leg , once I got it off my foot was just hanging . Took me a cpl hours but got sled flipped bck up , load disconnected and drove bck to truck then lodge and phoned 911 . Broken bone at bottom of femar , won't know till tomorrow after orthopedic in PG examine X-ray to determine if surgery is needed , I'm hoping they can just recast it . Great start to the season , bck to lodge now . A couple locals are looking after everything I had to abandon .
But what a beautiful day it was.
I can't believe I ride my 163x3 BB in some hairy situations and I do this on the trail at about 5 Kms/hr on a wide track scandic , I think that was the problem going to slow .

Sorry to hear about your troubles Terry. That really sucks. Everything you guys do out there for the sledders is really appreciated and then to hear you get busted up doing it... Hope you heal fast buddy.

Really sunday night and no report. Surely someone had to have tried riding this weekend? We are planning to head out in about a week if the forecast holds. So any updates this week will be greatly appreciated.
