I snow plowed driveway this morning , went up on owls for a 3hr tour , headed into meadows at 18.5k roughed them up abit , tucked into the trees at one of the last meadows and found some untouched stuff that needed tracks , came back out onto trail at Blue Y , headed back toward Bob Bart , played in the trees and came out on the lake , wind was howling, got back into trees and followed tree line up to back way into owls cabin , played in trees , there must be at least a ft or more of fresh , headed up towards eco but the wind was blowing again , came back around to owls cabin , stopped for abit and headed back down , visibility was terrible ! On way back down trail was freshly snow covered in some areas! Got back down and around noon ! Headed back to snowblow for couple hrs ! Think about 15 or more inches has fallen in sicamous last 24hrs !

It isn't all about riding even though it would be a blast. Still got family to do things with but the snow in Salmon Arm has been a chore.

Driveway in Hillcrest subdivision. Sure glad I didn't sell the snowblower!!

Even if you use a snowblower once a year, they’re worth having around. And when you need it, chances are, you really need it.

What’s it like in town right now? Slow dig out? Staging areas accessible yet??
It's a few feet deep. We spent yesterday and today digging out. 13 hours with no power yesterday. Its deep. Fallen trees blockingtrails for grooming. Getting cleaned up today. Sled were going up today.
Tomorrow will be great.

We were up yesterday. Is deep and less people then I’d thought would be up there. High avy conditions right now we stayed in cut blocks and meadows most of the day. Seen the groomer up there on the way back.
Pack fuel.

The moose
Was a pretty great day at owls. We Rode lots of fresh pretty much all day in the waist to chest deep range. The snow from the big storm was pretty wet but still does the trick. I really appreciate all you folks that head for the back end.
