Eagle Valley / Sicamous Updates 2016/17

[Shermanator]

Well not sure what dance u were doing Sherm but the skis gave another refreshing of snow over night -headed up toward blue cabin 6 inches of fresh and over top bunny hill and to the south west meadows were untouched - couple days ago it was tracked out - Today over bumper snow ! Was short day but managed to put on 80 k today - unfortunately headed home ! Blue skis and meadow after meadow of pillowy powder !

It was a combo pole dance thingy out in the yard, the Mrs. wasn't impressed and hid the tequila after that but, if it worked then who cares! Decent of you to leave us some, I guess we'd better get our crew together and go wreck whats left!!!

So reading up on the sledsicamous.com, it says Eagle Valley is not for novice riders.

What classifies someone as a novice rider? Can't sidehill? Carve? Ride a trail? Lol

I'm confident in my groups abilities, but is there anything we should watch out for?

Cheers

Definitely what I meant. For whatever reason I was reading the thread title as I typed.

If you lost the visor off your Helmut, a black one I picked it up at around 9k at Owlhead and left it at the trail collector booth.

Premium groom job on the Blue Lk trail, good job boys! We had a crew of 8 today, myself and Billdozer and the other 6 were the East boys! We checked out the meadows on the way up, somewhat trounced, there was about 6" of new snow out in the open stuff but a bit deeper in around the trees, no good! We made our way to the backside of Blue Lk and that's where the snow got really good, up to 2' when you were willing to duck down a few tree benches! Strange thing, no one wanted to follow me?? I did manage to get 2 of the boys to take a trip down Brown Pants, not a track down there, excellent snow on that entire side of the ridge. FYI, that hill at BP's has slid, not the usual amount as in some years past, it doesn't have that big cornice on it that it can get sometimes. From here the boys played around in the meadows above BP and to the top trail back to the cabin, pretty beat, as it was around the cabin. We did the cutblock behind Cummings, no tracks but the snow was set up pretty good from the sun so no carnage there! Good news is that it was cold up there, a nice brisk breeze most of the day so that should keep conditions in tip top shape but, and here's the broken record, we need another dump!! Oh, that pic of me, not sure why the boys wanted me to put it on, just checking the track, as usual!

It looks like bill's sled was checking out your track as well. We did the owlhead to hunter's thing snow was good surprised to see that many sleds out on a Thursday as well as being pleasantly surprised by the coverage at the bottom.

I believe it was a mating urge, we Doo guys know how bad some sledder'so would like to switch, mating is the first step, and Ski Poo, or a Poo Doo, or something else perverse. Buy your own! He bent my plate too!��

 

[BillDozer]

You backed into me

I'll bet you say that to all the Doo guys!! On another topic with no perversion, for those of you that already have a Doo, seen that article on the Shot starter system for the new 2018s, pretty danged slick! Problem is you can't get it after market........

No moving parts, the battery pack should last so it'd be the computer end of it that could FUBAR, but then you always have the good old pull start! The Shot sure beats the old starter/battery system though....

 

[takethebounce]

It's a capacitor. It's not new technology or even a new use for it. Been used used for starting before. You could even modify an existing system to accept a capacitor and it would work in the same manner.

Anyhow. Taking a few days off from riding. Back to work.

What does the SHOT system have to do with Eagle Valley/Sicamous updates?
