Just got back from Clemina about and hour ago and it was sooooooo hot. Unloaded at 13 and full snow from there on. Only a couple small snowbridges left to get accross the river and up to hillclimb though. Up to Goat Ridge and beyond was excellent. Extremely soft and wet snow, actually made it challenging and it felt like there was 8" of fresh. Much better conditions that this time last year. Lots of snow moving naturally so still use extreme caution and good judgement out there.

Neither of us brought our cameras sorry. Sleds were running hot and pulling short on the RPMs, but it was a blast and Im burnt all to heck

Should be at least a week or two left

sunk the f-350 for about 5 hours.

bent up a rev and busted a shock, blew out the steering

andddd sunk an XP in the river.

DIESELS DONT FLOAT, NEITHER DO SLEDS

i guess it had been VERY HOT the last 2 weeks. because there is NO snow on the road anywhere. just a couple small patches and the big one we got stuck in. but we shoveled that out of the way lol
