Well that was a good day hammer the field on the Clearwater river. Might head to tuscker tomorrow. Seven miles flats sounds like a good place too.

Did you ride the trail system from the staging area?

Great day out in Caroline today! A little cold but with lots of untracked powder, it got warm quickly. Met up with a few guys from red deer who let me tag along. One guy tagged a stump on the way back to the staging area. Bent A-arm and a broken shock. Limped it back to his trailer. The club was out grooming when I was leaving. Great trails and signage out that way. Any additional snow from here on will make conditions really good. I'll be spending more time out that way this year. Less driving means more seat time!

Found much better snow today! Lots of untouched openings and clearings with waist deep at times! Spent most of the day riding untouched areas.

image.jpg The only good thing about it being twenty below is the lack of competition for the fresh stuff. Snow was about 4-6" deeper then Monday when I was out last. Hopefully the staging area gets plowed again soon. Getting deep in there. I'm gonna try to get out again Monday coming before the new work year starts on Tuesday. Anyone wanting to join is more then welcome! Forecast is looking much better.

A friend and myself will be there Sat. I e-mailed James (guy who looks after the trails) and this was the reply I just got from him this morning.

Hi, Jason;
Yes the trails are in great shape, as we got 8” of fresh on Monday.
