That "meadow" looks suspiciously similar to a pond.

Soooooo, should I not come for a rip this weekend?

There is no water in the meadow but there is a creek with tributaries on one end. Everyone is warned and anyone who has been there before knows the problems. I always like to go and jump a few of them and someone decided to follow but the left ski found some rotten ice. There was only 70 cm of snow in that meadow if you are wondering. I keep saying a pretty skinny year..................some places have more, some have less !

If that's the spot I think it is, that is definitely 'low snow' for end of January.

Pretty fun place though, with enough snow... As is directly above it.

Nothing has really changed other than a few more areas are tracked out.

 

[AxysAssault]

So a little exploration would be key I guess.
Prob just gonna be two of us so might be a good day to try some different areas on the map. See where we can go.

Wow...those meadows are really thin Doug. Remember being in there years ago where it would be super deep. I could only imagine how many rocks are showing up above the lake right now.

The same meadow you and uncle Don had that "experience gaining event" in! The only good thing about it was that it was untracked.

After watching you devour half of the shrimp in the Pacific Ocean we didn't want to see you become overweight so we thought we'd give you some exercise...

By the way..if memory serves me right I do recall a certain wrapped 174 that was either attempting to climb Johnny Jackpine or blend in with the rest of the surrounding foliage?

Well, in my mind that's a little more creative than getting stuck in a wide open meadow like a couple of folks I know!

Nah...if you could stick a 174 like that we'd be silly to follow you...

You guys get any of the snow we got in Calgary last night?

With the recent warm temps and active logging whats access like for getting to the staging areas and parking with a 30 ft inclosed is a person better with a smaller trailer or a sled deck

 

[Turts]

Second parking lot at Morrissey for large trailers.
Been working pretty good so far.
