Was that our day 2? I thought it was Silent...... the one with the big scary waterfall that was so hyped.

I'm not scared of the drive, just don't want to do it...... that was a LONG 20km/hr drive
You guys were way too cool to hang with us.

Both Silent and Silver Mines have a Water Run of sorts, silent eventually seems like a hill as snow builds up as does Silver. At Silver it's a pretty good climb that if you get off line you end up on the rocks and have probably just written off your sled.
Silver Mines - glad I did the run but it's full of Avy Traps, the ones that had already fallen were epic with no chance of escape/survival.
At the end you cross through another trap and ride what I'm told is an awesome area. I decided not to ride past.
For me I try to minimize risk and after riding Silver Mines once I won't do it again.
Chatter Creek....Awesome...long drive in and can't be driven without a proper radio to verify trucks coming. Worth the trip.

I dunno where it was then..... there was a lot of hype about the "waterfall" and Arlene was pretty wound up until she saw it first hand and climbed 1/2 throttle....

All I know was it was a long slow drive in on a radio controlled road.....

maybe it was chatter

Silent pass..... Waterfall is always hyped up but the I've never had an issue with it personally. That was the day we had the fire going, Jerome snapped his steering post etc

I'll be stuck in the bush too and won't have you to give me a ski pull.
Too bad Buddy.
