Rained most of the night in town. Might be fresh up top this morning if it was cold enough. +2 was the low in town.

Looks like all that dancing you did paid off ! Lol keep up the good work !!

Thanks. I thought it might do something (I mean anything is worth a try). I had buddies message me and said, "the video is too old. It has lost it's power. Do a new one and leave that one alone............enough already!!"

If I was out there I would be attending Rene’s memorial ride today... be cool if someone took a picture of the group and the plaque to post here for those of us who cannot be there. Cheers, Holio

Ray (his brother) is suppose to have someone taking photos of the plaque event and at the gathering at the lodge.
Wish I could have attended.

Rode Blue Lake today. It was busy. The trail is rough. Grooming needs to be done. The snow is good for early season. We probed 125-135cm. The snow pack is suspect and I understand the HIGH avalanche designation. Very layered and near the ground it is brutal with crystals/facets.

A better day today than 10 days ago.

bunch of guys went in. Looked good but they said the trail was less than ideal.

It's early. I'd take a mediocre to poor trail to ride awesome snow back there. Had it been groomed to the cabin at least?

Aaron, here is a link to check on the "SledSicamous" grooming and there hasn't been a groom at Eagle's yet.

Made a trip to Sicamous and finally got to try out my new to me 850. The area is in need of a massive reload. Still quite a few open creeks and short cut off trees to watch out for. We rode the connector from Owls to blue and the trail was in decent shape considering. While we were there, parking was at 12 km with room for Sled decks and to place open trailer. If you are going up during a weekday, please bring an FSR radio as they are doing some logging up there. We talked to a driver and he said there have been numerous close calls with pick ups. I am not sure how much longer they are up there.


When the snow wasn’t so great, go vintage riding. At least that was the plan. The first time out with my Sicamous Speedster and we barely made it a kilometer from the truck. Turns out the fuel pump was full of ice, and now she’s ready to rip for next time.

He didn’t have time. New doo crapped out on the trail in.
