^^^^^Thats not fair, that was straight up^^^^^^

Snow was so sticky that I could not get the tunnel to turn once I sunk in. Didnt see anyone else hit it..........

Geez last time i ride with you guys on a day off.........lol

Yes, upon review of the footage the judges have ruled that snow does indeed appear to be "sticky"... RIGHT... Bahahaha!! Is this a Valemount specific phenomenon??

Wow, we went from spring to winter overnight again

Currently a complete white-out around here.

This should make for some amazing conditions this weekend. And with a forecast like this, you better not miss out!


Please ride safe and ride smart this weekend! Your decisions while riding can make or break your "last" ride.

Holy!! That is the cutest thing ever.. Your kid is a monster on a machine. Can't wait to see him in a few years... Look out!!

Ya it won't be long and he will be giving the old boy a run for his money. He knows how to ride just needs to grow and get some weight.

He is 14 looks like about 12 tho. He is all of 4'9" and a whopping 100lbs.
He gets quite the looks when we are out there. I just sit back and grin.

I bet, good for you guys!! My son is 9 this year and has been riding a 340 around here but not in the big hills yet...he asks to go every time I go and then some!! Maybe next year!

I started taking my boy out there when he was 8. Just sat him in front of me and told him not to move. You just have to pull a little more wieght around. Whenever we stopped for a break he was gone riding. I kept him off the hills till he was 11. Then when he was 12 we starting bring his sled out he started on a 99 670 summit and when I got my 09 he got my 06. Sure it is more power than he needs but to be honest with you he uses it all alot of the time. He even got 2 trips in this year instead of just 1. Lucky little bugger.

Hello Everyone

Just a quick update. Allan Creek will be groomed again this evening (saturday) and we are playing it day by day for now.

Allan has approx 20-30cm of fresh in most places

Chappell has 40-100cm EVERYWHERE

Clemina, the reports are better snow than allan, but I have no first had experience.

Blue Bird today !

Sorry, no time to edit pics.......

That's awesome! Got 3 boyz myself, 4, 6 & 8. My 6 year old loves his sled vids! Gotta get them in the game early, as I've found in my 15 years plus & last 6 years of Mountain Riding, experience is everything!!! Thanks for the pics!

CHEERS!!!!
