Got into town around 11Am, hit Belle for the afternoon had a good warm up ride. Ran into Sledbunny and Sledderrrick and crew for a quick minute nice to see them. Got into some 1.5-2ft spots on the sides and some 4-6 inch spots in the open, a bit of everything. But the first pic is one where, make sure you check everthing over when you stop on the trail and adjust the carbs and make sure the throttle cable isn't hung up when you go to start up!!! LOL. And of course not many pics because we were too busy riding! Higgins.

warm here today and rain in town, trails have had alot of riders on them and with no cold overnite temps it is making them very rough and doesn't look like it will get any better over the next couple of days. hope everyone will understand this.

Rode renshaw today. Flat light, snow good in lower areas. Quite beat though, we ended up riding in Ghost Lake, still lots of good playing there and further. Raining good in town tonight, should see some good snow tomorrow. The trail down was real rough, but with that many people riding and the weather conditions that is expected. Heading to Bell tomorrow, should be a blast. Will post some video's on Saturday.

another armchair groomer. it was +6 and raining lower and 0 at the top, would have done more damage to the trail to groom in that warm of temp, hell you would have been riding on gravel from 9km down if we had gone up that early, but if you think you can do better come on out and give it a go.
we are doing the best considering the weather conditions, it is the same all over the province.
I guess the other option would be to pull the groomers off and not charge while it is this warm, I'm sure that would not go over very well.
Today more problems, +2 and looks like blue skies are coming in.

You honestly should. I bet it would shut 90% of the guys up after day 3 rolls around and it's 4 foot whoops all the way up to the cabin. They will be begging you to groom it.
