Campfire lunch with smokies and some garlic toast. The boys just need a little more practise with the distance.

Shoot me a pm Monday is looking like a down day for us at the farm and the shop I might be keen to sneak away.

 

[LBZ]

Might work an overtime shift on Monday now but if we get snow I’ll sled instead. I’ll be in touch.

Hope we get a reload this week.

The 14 day forecast doesn't look promising. A couple days of 40% chance with less than 3 cm. It has been very skinny this year!!

Is the groomer still stuck at the end of the pipeline?

Saw a post on Facebook this morning from FSA that it is. Sounds close to being out.

We all need to do a snow dance to get this year going.

Great day today just before the cold arrives. Nice to have a old sled make it into the notch.

The old Indy still going eh?!
How's conditions there other then flippen cold?

 

[LUCKY 7]

that old indy did great. we went back to the rolling hills cabin and there were 2 more of same ones but short tracks. this one is a rocky mt king. the conditions were good. still not as much snow as last year but we had a blast. I'm done until it warms up again. Coal Creek will be opening up soon and that will make it a bit less busy in Morrisey.

They're gonna be done logging up there right away?
I love them old sleds had a couple 600 rmk back in the early 2000s.

 

[LUCKY 7]

our club will announce when it's go time. they are working on getting the road safe for sledders and need to have no trucks up there and in the way.

[ferniesnow]

They have to put the snow back on the road and sort of "sift it" for debris so that the tiller doesn't get screwed up. A slow process. No date yet on when they will be finished logging.
