I thinks so. Few bats should do the job. They have been targeting residential and not the hotels it seems.

Very busy today and they are parked down the road to esso for owl. Assumebthe cops are not ticketing so may as well ride from house.

Yes buddy got his trailer stolen from top of Bayview, with sleds ect inside on the 24 th

Black trailer with melenium heat on the sides


What the theves don't know if there found, sweet justice will come swift



If any one sees it let me know

Blue sky up on owls today ! Alot of areas getting tracked out due to amount of sleds up over the holidays ! Few areas that still have some powder - but --- thats a secret - right Tex !lol Trail getting a little sketchy below 2 km ! Might have to trailer up shortly !?? All in all was great day ! Better riding than the work thing !

296 sleds from owl lot yesterday! We had over the hood all day and really didn't see many sleds at all which was suprising. When we did come across them they were stuck. Road down at 7pm wasnt all that bad considering.

Sleds are driving all over town as no where to park in lots and I think that is awsome. Guys pulling up to sevice stations on sled to fill. They should allow this all the time.

Real short outing this AM, first to be at the parking lot and almost the first one back! I met Rightsideup there but, his new Poo turned out to be ornery so he went home for his backup Doo (maybe the Poo should be backup??)! I carried on as though normal, getting to the cabin and getting a fire going. Pretty damned cold out this AM, -12 at the house but definitely warmer up top. Long story short, the hill is toast! It's tracked out pretty much everywhere I went, from East of the cabin and back to Queest Lk and down in some of the holes. You almost need scratchers the entire way on any given "trail", and some spots were danged hard to ride, period, give me 3' of fresh anytime! So, I turned the beasty around and headed back to the cabin, met up with Mark there and told him I was pouting and headed home, after a hot lunch of course! We're gonna need a ton of snow to fix up the mess, which is no doubt on all the hills. There are a few spots deep in the trees that are untouched but nah, I'll wait until I have a crew with me to get me moving again!

We've had inversion's on and off but its just the huge amount of sled traffic we've had over the holidays (thanks god its over!) and the lack of new snow, that's about it. It actually does remind me of a couple of rides last year (Owl's) where we needed the scratchers down all the way around the hill! Not allot of precip in the forecast, so far, but then its a new year so it all has to be good!

 

[revbyu]

Long range forecast looks promising - but that could also changed !

 

[bobsledder]

Come Monday I have the area back when they all go home and my midweek riding returns to normal. Just need some more snow.
