That sucks.
Usually a durable engine.

I’m not sure what I’m gonna do with it yet I still have 5 sleds but this one is a favourite
My truck was acting up on the trip as well so that’s priority

Still hunting season for daughter and I so have not been keeping up on here.

Weekends only right now as they are hauling. The rain hammered the snow, I was working up there yesterday and probed 32cm by the road.

Did it rain all the way up to the alpine?

Not sure but it has rained all week. Plan on heading up there tomorrow to check.

Is the hood sealed up well with silicone on all joints? Could be a leak letting snow in and eating a crank bearing on a deep pow day.

I have the intake guard and all the bolts in it’s sealed up my guess is the new top end on an old bottom end. I wiggled the clutch and pieces started falling off the cases so I think I need a whole engine. Let’s get back to the conditions im curious how the snow is this weekend

 

[catmando]

Me too, thinking mayby tuesday once i get my sled back together.

We were up at lucielle today, snow definitely got hit by the heat, there's pockets of half decent snow but it's still pretty early season
Was coming down pretty good from noon on though

Rode belle today and yesterday, snow is pretty set up and heavy/sticky in most spots, but did find some decent fresh, probed out 85cm in the meadows, definitely thin but as expected for this time of year, should be a wicked base, big blizzard rolled in on the way down, felt like I was hitting light speed the whole way down, if you got a big trailer, get a good set of tires and chains as there is 4-6 inches on the road for the last couple km

For those wondering about the Renshaw bridge, it's been pulled out.

It's been brought to our attention that folks haven't been playing by the rules and are causing the logging company some grief up there. Radios are a must and you need to call up and down. There's no riding up there during the week, that's Monday-Friday no riding up there. Good to ride on weekends only, that's Saturday and Sunday, until further notice. It's still only decks or single axle trailers until further notice due to the limited parking at the moment. The groomer has been moved up there but until we get more snow it sits.
This being a new zone, realize we are still trying to figure out how to make it work while still having active logging up there. Remember, this is brand new, it's undeveloped so the trails haven't been marked or properly mapped yet. The trails on our map are only a basic guideline. There's no groomed trail to the alpine. Those who are unfamiliar with the area should probably wait until there's more snow and those that know the area have punched the trails into the alpine which usually happens after xmas provided we get the snow.
We know it's not ideal right now but once things get figured out it will be great. We are working to get some temporary signage up there soon to help direct you in the right direction. We also have a schedule from the logging company for the xmas holidays and are meeting with them this coming week to confirm it, once that's done we will post it.
Keep an eye out for updates here and on our website sledmcbride

Looks even better now without the bridge for setting up that snowmaking machine for a snow bridge.
