Just got back from first day of the year, rode Chappell, a few stucks, I'd blame it on the first ride on the new sled and the viso, but all was not to bad, must be me, haha. All and all, snow was saweeet everywhere. Probed 170cm at one point. Trail in was as good as it could be! Props to the crew who blazed trail in, and thanks for the last creek crossing Curtis, amazing. The lake was more froze than I remember it was last mid January. Stellar start to the season. Time to eat, and dwell on how outa shape I am!

Where's everyone riding in the morning? We rode Allan today, lots of fun. Still lots of pow to be had. Might go back tomorrow and head in further.

"Funny how the Weather Network and Environment Canada always seem to have very different forecasts.... but at least they both call for SNOW!!!"

That's because T.W.N. posts the weather in Jasper (that they get from E.C.) without taking into account the Great Divide. E.C. posts an average of their sites between Blue River/McBride/Prince George.

I'll be heading up tonight after work, can't wait until tomorrow. I think we'll hit up Chappel, maybe drop down off the ledge on the SE side and see if we can scare up some caribou! LOL! Actually, we dropped down in there a few years back, had some great sledding, didn't see any caribou. Then, up in the sky, we saw a chopper! Uh-oh! Cost each of us around $225, I think. There was 8 of us. CO's paid for the chopper rental that day! We looked upon it as an expensive trail pass!

so what did you learn? stay the h$ll inbounds! chappel creek has shrunk in size enough! its pretty clearly marked. just because there is no caribou doesnt mean its good to go

ruining it slowly for the rest of us.

200$? should have been 100,000 then maybe you wouldnt be lololololololing about it.
