Got out with the ENTIRE family a couple weeks ago. Mom, Both Sisters, and Husbands and the nieces plus the wife and our daughter. Been trying to get the nieces out to the hills for a couple years now, A bunch of borrowed sleds and gear, and a rented trailer and we were on our way. Weather wasn't bluebird like I had hoped for, for them, but wasn't terrible. All smiles, all day from everyone. My niece had one tree incident with the 200 but no injuries and she got right back on and carried on like nothing happened. Awesome weekend of waterslides, campfires, sleds, amazing views and memories with the family. There truly is no other sport like it in the world.

And I've gotta say if you are on the fence about one of these 200's, this thing absolutely impresses me every time we take it out. Hats off to Yamaha/Arctic Cat for building these things, 3000', 8000', One rider, 2 riders, experienced rider, new rider, these things just work. No issues since we bought it brand new, in 2019, they're just fun.

I picked up a sled for my kids this year. The ten and twelve year olds love it, and constantly want to go out. The eight year old has been afraid to try driving, but is totally content being doubled. My wife loves riding as well. Sledding was one thing I loved as a kid, so I'm glad to see the kids taking to it We are planning a family trip to Valemount / McBride on the family day weekend. Might need to find another sled for the kids before then. We were supposed to go to the big family day event that VARDA was putting on back in 2020, but that got screwed over by COVID. They are all a lot bigger now, and I think will appreciate the mountains even more.

Yeah atlas …rode the pipeline …we were the only tracks….and past the cabin. Snow was really good. Good base now for sure.

I really like the pass with kids. Not long rides to decent areas. Trail is usually smooth also.

Had a blast with grandkids today and their new to them sleigh. Momzie pulled them most of the day. Made a trail on a quarter section and around and around they went. Everytime we stopped they said "More gramma"!!!!!
Stopped out of the wind for some nourishment.... if you can call hot dogs that.

Went out yesterday for a few dozen Miles. Littlest rode with me. First we had to make a slight clutch adjustment so my littlest helper assisted.

After a dozen Miles, life was great.

The last dozen Miles...well...dad got a workout! Fields were windblown, but somehow we managed to catch a few zzzz's!
