One thought would be to permanently mount the winch just to the mounting plate(like Rene's plate design) and make holes in the plate for mounting bolts. Next, run a set of longer mounting bolts from the UNDERside of the deck up to the top of the deck with washers/nuts securing just the bolts to...

Go west…just keep going west. One positive memory, regarding the trail signage, was that there was an area map and a ‘you are here’ reference at every trail junction. The less familiar users felt that this was a definite help. Hopefully any new signage continues that tradition.

Was at Custom Truck Parts and eavesdropped on a deal going down with a 2015 Toyota Tacoma guy wanting a Marathon. …seemed his biggest concern was how to extend his mirrors for when the deck wings were fully extended. Their coffee pot was empty so I didn’t stick around long enough to see how it...

The idea hasn't been brought up for awhile. Remember this guy?

He temped fait a number of times...eventually gravity won. You don't really need steering when the ski's are in the air anyways...

By vehicle, I know that the Gap is open and the bridge over Racehorse and Dutch is open on the trunk road heading north (from the Gap)...to get to the Dutch Road turn-off. Can't speak to the Dutch road heading west...

Buffed them out with a little 220 grit... It was a 'government job'... I'll make sure the skid's full of snow before I show it off. We also thought over-doing it was better than having to re-do it.

What are the odds of this working?

A few years ago, we toured the trails in the Etherington/Cataract area. Attached are the Garmin GPS tracks from a couple of those trips. I don’t know the names of the trails but I way pointed the trail junction signs along the way... just numbering them. We didn’t cover all the trails but got a...

Waiparous Valley Road (by the creek).

Besides the standard 'so I don't die' stuff, my favorite item is the Uniden programmable VHF scanner. Almost anything coming off of an antenna, I can hear. This would include Parks Canada, highway maintenance, RCMP and anything else you can think of. ...makes the time go by a little faster.

I choose Mountain Toys because Cycle Works North was swamped and couldn’t fit me in (2wk wait). The mechanic I dealt with was also a rider and new exactly what needed to be done with my machine (with respectable pricing). There will have to be a few gamblers who try Okotoks before we get the...

You should never leave home without it (or toilet paper)...
