February Conditions

[Firefly]

What's one of the best things about this website? It's how three guys who have never met (1 from Davidson, Sask... 1 from Sherwood Park... 1 from Edmonton) could plan a trip, drive 5 1/2 hours to McBride together, laugh the whole way, and have two AWESOME days of riding! Many thanks to Snow & Mud... to Derek (Deeker) and Kris (Saskboy) --- we can ride together any time! And as always, a HUGE thanks to Barry & Judy for their incredible hospitality and to Glen for fixing my sled and taking the day to come for a ride!

Pics Below are: 1.)Saskboy jumping 2.)Deeker landing in fresh 3.)Crew lunch break 4.)Priceless!

Sounds like you guys had a great time, awesome pics.

I have to say though when I started reading the first thing that came to mind was it was one of the jokes with "what happens when a guy from Saskatchewan, a guy from Edmonton and a guy from Sherwood Park go sledding" type of joke haha

That sure dont look like fun. Must have taken some time, not for me.

It wasn't that bad, had enough people. Thats what happens when you play in the trees.

You couldn't be more right! I had a blast riding with you guys thanks for the great laughs and good riding. Thanks to Glen and Barry for taking the time to come riding with it was the best ride of the year for sure.

Hey whats it like up there for snow we had a friend come home and said it was all hard packed and trail was really rough. Looking to head up tommorrow after work. Anyone else going this weekend looking for husband an wife duos to ride with. There is only the two of us going. I have no problem riding with just guys but I would not want to slow anyone down. Don't get me wrong I am not a wimp however I am just not very experanced. My husband rides 800 dragon and I ride a 600 switchback

Sunshine and -1 today. Went up Belle to make sure all was well for the weekend. About 8 inches of fresh on top of a solid base. Going up Lucille tomorrow am to make sure all is well there, will post snow when I get back.
Play safe this long weekend everybody.

Just got back from 4 days of riding, clutch taper sheared off of crank 25min after reaching Renshaw cabin so my mod was done for the trip. But rode Renshaw 3 days and had good rides. Snow was an average of 6"-10", we did rip waaayyy out past Spirit and found one spot with 1 - 1.5ft but that was it. 4th day rode to an area we don't usually ride and i wasn't there 20min. and i badly sprained my ankle so back on the mend again for a week or two.

Hi Boys, well its been awhile, I aquired yet another job, but hey what else is new!

I just wanted to say a great big huge THANK YOU to all the boys I got to meet last weekend and this past family day weekend, thank you to everyone who donated to my horse fund and brightened my day with welcomed greetings. I really enjoy getting to meet all the snow and mudders! We had a beautiful weekend, a bit cold this morning and I imagine monday is gonna be a wee bit colder, Renshaw is getting groomed again tonight for monday morning.

Once again, THANK YOU TO ALL

The horse I am hoping to buy is going to arrive at the owners house in McBride on FRIDAY!!! I can't wait to meet her!!!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Hey Keith,

Unfortunate way to end a day before it even started, glad to hear it's just sprained though and not broke. Was quite an eventful day, Dan ended up coming out on the rope behind the Yammie, dropped a cylinder at the end of the day. Had a few comical moments of carnage on the tow out. Sunday we broke over and into the place you had asked about earlier, spent sun and mon in there as it was untouched and awesome. Crystal clear skies, no wind, couldn't ask for much more. Here's a few pics for you to ponder.

Good to see your ride ended good.....sort of!!! To bad about the Doo, but i see the trusty backup was fired up. And you just had to drop into one of my favorites and find it untouched and untracked didn't you!!!! Ha, Ha, Ha. Higgins.

 

[Flygirl21]

GREAT PICTURES as usual! I love to check out all the pictures you boys and girls post they are always amazing!!!
