Yep your right. I loved those gloves but i guess it will be time for new ones next season. Around 14 is where I found my bottle of gatorade too lol.

grab the glove from ron as i may find the other this spring when we do trail clean-up.

AND another JERKOFF blows by the trail pass collector! A guy rides up to the trail booth at Belle on Saturday with his wife, 2 kids and grandfather. They rode up from the B&B at the bottom of the hill. He asks the collector if the trail was groomed last night. The collector says no but there has only been 31 people on it and it's in excellent condition. Guy says i'm not paying the trails should be groomed every night!! The collector says sorry but thats not going to happen due to cost of operating equipment and number count of riders that have used it. So if you're not going to pay sir i'm going to have to ask you to leave. They start up the sleds and take off up the trail. It never ceases to amaze!!

I'm sorry but that is unbelievable. Guy deserves a set of flat tires when he gets back.

Just got off Belle, no new snow up top, parkinglot conditions, maybe the other side of the valley is better, we'll have to see, it seemed to be raining up to 4500ft then just cloudy and poor visibility up top. Always a crapshoot this time of year win some lose some! Higgins.

Thanks for looking. The googles I lost are in a white bag and are oakleys with a white strap. They might be tough to find.

It is a trail user fee, not a grooming fee. not sure how he thinks the cabin gets the heat in it to dry his gear and keep his kids warm and the cabin gets maintained, must be the snow gods that make that all happen. hope he goes somewhere else next time.

Up an old favorite, best snow this trip and untouched! Only a 1/4 day ride, over indulgence the night before kept things hazy for most of the day. Higgins.

Went up Renshaw on Saturday.. still plenty of snow up top, but the trail was getting to be in pretty rough shape.

PS. Big thanks to Glen for fixing up my sled after a breakdown on Saturday. Got me up and running so that I had something to ride on Sunday!
