Its said that one needs to crash before they can walk, Ha.

Now you can move onto bigger and better things now that you have that part down pat.

Ride safe and have fun is what its all about.

I've been thinking a lot about giving sledding another chance too. KBrunlees was gonna ease me into it on flat land and help me develop some skills before I tried the mountains again. ...then I figured if God had to take one of my friends to keep me off a sled, I should probably listen.

I have never met you nor did I have the pleasure of meeting your dearly departed friend KBrulees but if he could have a chat with you today I bet he would tell you to give it another go.

There are a number of other areas to ride there also, it's a sledders paradise that area. Biggest issue can be weather. 10K is very similar to Eagles pass near Revelstoke but steeper. Glad you had a good time, its good to go there with someone knowing the area.

My brother lives in Merrit and rides the area a lot. Merrit snowmobile club has some nice areas to ride also.

He must ride "Honeymoon" then, great area also. I haven't rode there in a few year's now.
Next time your out there ask him to take you on the Coal mount ride, you will love that. Basically a valley ride, the trail whines through the valley's with awesome scenery, it takes all day round trip. You ride out to Coal mount into town and go for a burger at Coal mount inn, then ride back out.

I have rode Honeymoon a few times and also to the old trapper cabin that is usually under the snow.

I crashed into the tree at Honeymoon

Can’t find the crashed sled picture. Probably a good thing.
