Ya any time brotha! I haven't gone for one ride around the Mcmurray area this year yet but do head out to the mountains as much as possible. If that's your thing click on "community" at the top of the page then "Groups". There you will find a group of us that try to hook up to head to the mountains when ever possible.
What are you riding?

I am a fairly new the sport and have a 2012 Summit X 800. decided to buy new as I am sick and tired of buying someone else's junk, happened too much with dirt bikes and mtn bikes. Not sure when I will have time to head to the mountains but if you head out for a ride around here give me a call. 780-370-7040

Went for a ride Tuesday around the Mariana lakes area. Had a great day with about 2 feet of what seemed to be fresh POW! It could of just been that we went down cut lines that had not been ridden yet but over all great day! Mikey , our next time out should be around Feb 11 and 12 and the plan is to head north (six lakes area)

Was riding all day in the Richardson Backcountry with the go pro only to come home and find out it was point down at the sled the whole time. Ruined about 45 minutes of footage of riding in the trees. we lost about a 1ft of snow from the last time I was there.

Hey If anyone is headed to Sicamous. BC from Fort Mac and has room for a sled please let me know ASAP. My 2012 summit has been written off after its encounter with the tree and I am planning on putting a carbon fiber chassis on it from C3powersports. Willing to pay $300.00 bucks for gas !
