Was it you setting up the beacons on Fri Darcy? We broke trail into the lakes that day and it was awesome. Really cool how it wind swept everything up there. Kinda sucked to ride but looked so neat.

Yup that was me

Fiddle didn't even see you in there when we went by!

Im like a ninja....The Thunderwater climb was Deep, my poor little 154 needed 3 tries to get over. Lol

 

[AaronQ]

So... Anybody get on the glacier yesterday?

 

[pano-dude]

I had to work but a buddy did, everything was really wind affected. Last pull was icy, one sled ended up coming down on its own and kissed the million dollar rock.

Snowfall warning out for tomorrow 10-20cms in town.

How you liking the xm Darcy.
Ya I seen a couple pics of a machine missing an a arm. When you kiss that thing you gotta do it gentle. Like kissing your cousin

It’s gotta be the $2,000,000 rock by now....

I really like the xm, I have way more energy at the end of the day compared to the m7.

I do regret not getting a 163 but the sled was such a good deal I could not pass it up. Rode my buddies 174 and it was a big mistake, now I need one lol.

Haha Ya I think a t3 163 would be a nice setup. Quite an upgrade from the old cat I bet eh. Now you can just ride for longer right!
That's the problem with the 174 it's just like a tractor. Anywhere you can find Yu just plug along.

You guys been back into Forster or brewer lately?

 

[pano-dude]

Picture was from Brewer Friday. Trail is rough but was nice in the basin.
It's friggin cold, -32 at the resort yesterday and today. Looks like a Dry spell for a week.

Least it's mostly downhill from there coming out! It's an area I wanna learn better to. Only been a couple times and it's always socked in when we go.

Managed to patch it back together and ride it out with no oil in it

Logging is done up Forster so no more road maintenance unfortunately. We are going to try and keep the road open to the 27km parking lot but no promises.

It is already getting slippery, couple trucks in the ditch around 22km last weekend.

That'll be fun eh. They're shut down completely up there? Couple of big dumps and we're staging back st 19 or whatever t?

 

[pano-dude]

Hopefully not riding from the 19, going to try and plow it Today with the truck. If it dumps down low we'll plow it with the groomer.

 

[AaronQ]

Right on. How's the trail up from 27 looking and snow pack on the glacier?

 

[pano-dude]

Trail from 27 is Great, getting groomed tonight.
Glacier was severely wind affected Last weekend, hard like concrete.

I plowed the road from 19km to 27.7 this Morning, it's in pretty good shape. 15cms of fresh at the p lot.

This is why you get the big bucks? Any forecast for this week?
