yes a couple guys from towne went for a quick rip as noted earlier. knee deep. behind the 8-ball I see

 

[BRP QSC]

now all quartz needs is a pole so we can see how deep it is and how much snow is falling on that new camera. downfall is i think it will not update during a 4 day cloud cover event but great job golden snowmobile club

Actually, there is no logging program up McMurdo, so staging from km17 this year. She's a LONG pull in this year. The club may even have to pay to plow up to 17.

Have a look today. They added a camera with a snow accumulation pole.

The GSC is planning on grooming from km17. I got the info from the Annual GSC general meeting

Thats a long ass ride.

 

[JMCX]

That’s a long ass ride.

A long groom too.

I think in the past the long drive from Parsons to km 46 kept a lot of the less serious folks from going to Silent, hitting Gorman/Quartz instead. If riding from km 17 there should be even less traffic up there which sounds fine to me. I’ll pack extra fuel.

 

[medler]

I didn’t mind driving to 46. But ridding a whooped out trail sucks

 

[C of Red]

Damn I forgot about the whooped out part, lol

 

[medler]

Be expensive for the club this year to plow the road and groom all that.

Yes back in the day we parked at 17 and sometimes 22-25ish. It was hella long ride in, especially then. There was no grooming. And your right, there was a lot less people in the area that would put up with it. Now a days on these machines it’s really not that difficult.

 

[Merc63]

Wouldn't it be cheaper to plow the road to 46km instead of grooming?
