I have hang fire on my house roof lmfao
You tell me to shovel with that over your head ready to drop
I would have went up last night, but was dealing with well pump that quit working, stupid pressure switchJust wanted to throw out a thanks to Unc Gord and the group of guys that went up Queest last night to rescue our buddies who got a little turned around without us guides along!�� Looks like someone's buying steak dinner with all the fixings!��
Did I mention we've had 5" of snow in the past 4 hours! The Club should put out a warning to tell everyone to stay away due to deep snow!!!������������

That was also another point, I know queest some, but not the MA burn at allIf I knew that area better I'd have gone up but getting turned around during daylight is one thing, but night is a whole new ball game! Lesson learned by everyone, at least get back to the trail by dark, kinda my rule anyways..
So that was the 3rd time I've shoveled/snowblowed/bladed today. To much snow, picked a bad year to get back into sledding, and get a 175" to boot! Should have listened to the wife!!����

We went up owls yesterday for a top notch day. Over the hood all day and never crossed another set of tracks other then the trail. Just when you think you've had one of the best days the weekend before it just keeps getting better. Some spots had upwards of 4' of nice dry fresh. Should be good for a while tell this cold crap screws off. Can't see there being much traffic the next couple days, -31 at the cabin will take pretty much all the fun out of it.
Bert and Joy are great peeps Doug! You guys would get along great!Yesterday was the first day in my many years of sledding that I experienced the need for a snorkel!! It was that deep and fluffy on the flat meadows! Visability was a little poor at times but the snow was soft enough that it didn't cause a problem and the old tracks were still soft. Son #2 was using his mother's sled and found a few holes. The screen shot from the Owl's Head cabin this morning emphasizes the fact that yesterday was a good day to go. Crossed off a "bucket list" thingy in the parking lot when bobsledder and his wife stopped by the truck and introduced themselves. It was a chilly ride down and by the time we got back to Salmon Arm, there was a -9 degree temp change from the morning departure. Lots of trees down and tree parts on the highway from the strong winds. I will hibernate for a day or two and try to put together some video footage.
