Well that sucks.

Rode Holy Grail yesterday. Single track sucked like usual. About 12” of fresh up in the Alpine. Had a bit of sun. Was a decent day until the 800 turbo died in an awful spot.
4 hours to double out. Waiting on a few heli companies to get back to use on a retrieval now.

Also messaged the guy at Bak40. Waiting for a reply from him.
hopefully it’s not an all day affair. Got a 6am flight out of Edmonton tomorrow morning.

What does he charge if you don’t mind me asking.

I think he’s $100/hr. No estimate. Think he bills time spent plus travel from Vale. I’m guessing 1/2 price of a skyhook

Hi there, just seeing if anyone knows how the snow is at the parking lot at Finn creek. Wondering if we would have to drive up a bit with the trucks to hit the snow line or not. Thx.

Rode from the parking lot last Saturday.
First 2.5 km thin. Like ride the side of the road cause there’s no snow in center. Was good going after there.

We got there after a snowfall night before and found some awesome April fools powder in salmon.

I would bring a truck and deck next trip over the enclosed.
