Well there's a crew I would stay away from 2 on the hill at once, looks like it could slide, Not to bright.
But some very nice pic's looks like some epec riding.

NEWFIE1 The area is a fantastic to ride and you are welcome to join us some time! Thanks for bringing the (2) on a slope "Not To Bright" to our attention.
We will definately have a team meeting to discuss this at our next outing. I am AVY Ceritified and have ridden the area a long time! and Familiarity is one
of the things they teach us that catches Riders off Guard, and I am unfortunately very gulity of that. All of us sledders need to look after each other
and we thank you for your input and concern!
"New By Law for the Team" No more than 1 rider on a slope at a time

Well thanks for the invite, and cam response. most ppl would have got upset and defensive. I may take u up on that invite sometime, I love to ride, don't get to ride as much as I like, no snow here and long drive to mountains. This is one of those yrs were the snow is not as plentyful as normal out west. Hoping for a good mar apr & maybe may.
Booking a week in Radum Hot Springs for 3rd week of mar hoping for some good riding.

If you look close at the picture, you will see Cane without a sled. The other boys were headed up to help him. We will work to make it clear as it was it topic of conversation that day. Especially on Clarence Bowl.
BPA boys in town for three days of riding. Wish the snow was better

Here's a vid I just finished putting together since I haven't done one in a while. https://vimeo.com/61348941
The mentioning of 2 on the hill etc is good timing. I just sent an email out to my ride group because as I was going through my footage I could see how often we don't adhere to good riding practices. Lots of times we do good things but lots of times we don't as its so easy on a sled to get into a situation really fast and usually in a group its very easy to get in the "giver" mindset and common sense goes out the window.
There is definetly at least one not so good practice you'll see in this vid,,,, but since it didn't involve trees I was on high ground just rolling the video. ok, ok, there's also,,,, anyway I pointed it out to my group as things we need to be aware of to not do in the future. Good call newfie1.
hope you enjoy
