Well, we did the first trip of the season and none of us were disappointed! Billdozer, Rightsideup and myself took "the back route", fearing the Owl's trail could be FUBAR'd . What we found up on the "back route" was 2.5' of untouched snow, all the way to the Owl's cabin trail! It was a beaut of a day, sunshine and blue sky as long as you stayed up on top. We stopped at Owl's, trail is the absolute sh$#'s, thought I'd mention that. From Owl's we headed over to Blue, the trail is the absolute sh*%'s, thought I'd mention that. There is a pretty good dump of snow but the trail is totally rutted out, kinda like 452 sleds had gone across it. Blue was pretty much untouched, although we didn't try dropping down into to many spots, pretty much "hero snow" everywhere, seems to have set up pretty nice. Whoever is going to groom that trail the first time had better take a couple of extra chain saw chains along as there is a ton of wood across the trail all along from 23km on, its a mess!
Great day you two, other than Billdozer continually falling over for some reason, then the other guy getting stuck right on the road, and then there was that side trail that Billdozer thought was some other road that didn't really work out for us! Rightsideup's sled really tractors through stumps and tree's though, thanks for letting me ride it! Had a blast, but we need a wee bit more snow to be able to have more fun. Get that foot dryed off there Billdozer, pretty thin ice still!! Sherm

Sounds like a blast Sherm, wish I was there! Always makes it better with blue sky! Hope more snow comes soon!

I think they may have planned it that way! Haha


Bit of an inversion coming. Hopefully doesn't mess things up too bad for the weekend.

I think Billdozer meant to say was that he was a pushover, that's it! Hey, I wasn't anywhere around you when you were on your side in that other clearing, I think your gyroscope is off on the sled buddy! tex78, you sled???????????? Now you tell me. When you get two old retired peckers like Billdozer and I around we tend to do weekday stuff to avoid the crowds, that and we catch up on our sleep on weekends! I'd say there'll be allot of untouched snow come this weekend but judging by Billdozer's wet foot there are soft spots all over the place. Just a FYI, that bridge that they tore out on the Skyline Rd. by Owl's Rd., the water is about 2' deep under the thin ice, that about right Bill! Good thing you had your air bag on!!

U guys kill me



Well I'll have to call into work drunk one day and come out

I reserve those for epic snow days lol

I have to disagree. Great place to meet people and hangout, you won't need to go into town for anything. The lodge has everything you need, if you need somewhere to work on your sled Rene the owner is more then willing to let you use his shop. I stay there even when I'm riding in Revy.

 

[Nagzs]

Big group of guys yes



Just u and a buddy, then no
Anchor or joes, best Western better then

Too far out of town, taxi is retarded expensive for some reason now
