Thanks for posting all the stuck pics Ron.
Good riding with your group, been a while.
And thanks for the test run on your sled, cant believe I gave it back so quick. Should have made a quick run back to the other hill before I gave the sled back.
Very smooth linear power, doo did very well on the turbos!
Yes good riding with you and your brother, have to do it again

Talked with Marshall (Frozen Pirates) who said he has never seen that many sledders in town before, would be interesting to know how many sleds went thru the booth. This season seems to be a lot more riders hitting the mountains in the valemount area

Big time I’ve noticed it too. Not a bad thing but we’re going to need some more area here soon lol

Was good to meet you and JP.
Area needs a reload after all the sleds on weekend.
Grooming was great as usual.
Good to see that many people out.
Man I missed riding - Renshaw Friday.
Sorry snopro no wardrobe upgrade until I decide what to snowcheck.

Getting hard sometimes with out of bound areas

We rode Clemina today again. The parking lot had about 4” of fresh when we unloaded at 7:30 am. We headed up the awesome groomed trail and headed up to severet bowl. Not a lot of accumulation of snow at the 15km mark. In secret bowl not much there has been hit yet. The south side had between 1’ and 18” newer power on a decent base. We, (Jp and I) killed this area for a hour or two, the sun poked thought for a bit every once in a while. Then headed into the lakeview south area and played for about 1/2 hr, not much at all accumulation, a few lines left to hit. Then headed in to Bauer’s, on the north side. Found a few areas to play. Seemed deeper in this area. Then headed down the trail to about km 18 just southwest of the bend in the trail went the bush and played in the creek area and meadows that was some nice snow in there, then time for home.

Ron, thanks to you and rest of the crew for allowing my family to tag along. Everyone was super helpful with Alyssa. I look forward to hooking up again!

Thanks Dave, you and your family were great company. Your daughter did very well, and even better after the handlebars were adjusted. I would install a smaller riser as well, Im sure there are many out there sitting on garage shelves. Your wife was in awe when we stopped at the top of Bauer's to look a the Dixon Glacier, that makes the day right there. Great view when the clouds would allow it. Most people don't ever see these views.

Just got back from Valemount last night. Really good snow and really good hospitality from locals.

Enough snow/trail updates on here already so won't touch on that. Crazy no# of people at B/W over the weekend and especially at Clemina on Saturday. Think we got the last trailer spot as we go there abit later. Sure missed the deck this weekend!!

Just want to send out a BIG thanks to the Alpine Rentals Valemount. Had someone in our group break a throttle cable when loading their Doo Friday night.

We got things taken apart Friday night in hopes they would have the part Saturday morning when we stopped in. Sure enough they had a new throttle cable. We installed it and we weren't quite sure on final setting so we requested and they even took the time to come out and check and do a quick final setting on the cable.

Greatly appreciated Vinnie!!

Surprising this time we were not at the staging area till about 7:20, he was ready to go though. That was his first ride of the season too.

Brother and I held back on departure time so we would not be out of gas when you got there.....lol.
Like to be out of parking lot at daybreak....early bird gets the choice powder!
Where is the tree branch picture or hill climb attempt.
Miss my heated goggles - maybe somebody found them to use
I must be slowing down with age.

Was fun as always Ron!!
