As most would expect. A whole lot of work to omly make it half way up the creek. We had a local guy with us by the name of Mac. He had told us the day before that we were frickin retarded to even try so we went to Renshaw. On the way back we stopped in to get a key from him and he said he was in for the attempt. Let me tell you that guy was a machine. He shoveled and shoed for 4 hours non stop. Making trail and fixing trail that we trenched the sh!t out of. First time for me even going there. I sure would like to see the Alpine someday. Mac thought if we had one more day we would make it. But that was our 4th so we had to pull the pin. I had 4 of the best sledding days that I can remember. I think we only got stuck half a million times hahaha. If I have time today I will make up a 5 or 6 min vid and post it on Youtube later. Here are some pics or the Horsey attempt.

Mac is the man, he takes care of that area and trail all at his own expense. Make sure to hit the donation box if it gets put out again

Do you know how to get ahold of Mac?
No thats a 05 800 and he stomps our arses with that thing.
He has that thing dialed in I tell you when we turn out he isn't even starting to think about it.

Here are a few pics of Chappell Yesterday. The trail is is in excellent shape and there is a snowpack of 170-190cm on average.

Im down for repairs:realmad: so we will have to rely on others for first hand information from the other areas this weekend

Sled was loosing coolant some how, I thought it was eating it.......maybe due to "flat" spots in the head rings ? Hopefully I can pick it up and head for a test ride today.

A warm -22 out this morning.

NOTE: I was unable to get up Allan this weekend and have heard that the firewood is almost or totally gone. The groomer usually takes care of it and I have asked them to restock, but most likely wont happen until wednesday.
