There was a fatal sled related avalanche in Newfoundland of all places a few days ago as well.

Not close enough to the Mountains, AB

Thought I would post this as in Utah Feb 9 2019 it says ? Poor fella is willing to repeat the experience.
Sad as it always is .

Pretty scary seeing that avi in the trees like that. Makes me realize that some of the places we were riding this weekend in blue may not have been so wise with the avi conditions the way they were.

They posted a picture of (what I believe is the avi) that happened in blue river on Saturday and it’s at tree line as well. Scary stuff. Ride safe out there guys. Always another day to ride and make that climb when conditions improve.

Got some good snow at the farm but the winds were just howling so you can still see stubble. I bet the wind breaks and coulees are full though.

Question for the brain trust.

This past weekend when I got to Fernie I had a lake of coolant on my trailer. The temp changed drastically from when I'd left home (-30) to when I got there (-7). The coolant wasn't coming out of the overflow, rather it was coming from a hose somewhere (I guessed) and was pooling up in the engine pan before finding it's way out.
Topped up, rode both days no issues. When I got home (-25) it did it again.
Anyone else experience this with their XM's? By the looks of it, I'm thinking it's the top (larger) clamp on this T fitting.

That's the thermostat housing and yes it looks like it's leaking. Not uncommon on the early XM's but it was usually a very minor leak yours looks worse.
