Howdy! I hope everyone had a super Christmas. I'm excited to have found a local forum! I just got back into snowmobiling after a couple of years. I'm in central alberta and looking for people to ride with, so if your interested, let me know!
Hey Will,
Welcome.If we ever decide to ride down by you,we'll be sure to give you a call.If you're ever up near Edmonton let us know.Always looking for new freinds to meet.
Hi Maestro, Welcome To The Site..... What Are You Riding?? And Doo You Doo Mountains, Or Local, Or Hills?? You Have Good Riding Out In The Rocky Mountain House Area, And I Know There Are Lots Of Trails, However Probably Quite Chewed Up From The Quads Out There. There Are Several Other Members On This Site From Your Area Too, All Around The Red Deer Area........ Welcome Aboard And Stay Tuned
I'm riding a '98 RMK 600. I haven't been out to the mountains yet, but thats my goal. I'm slowly outfitting myself properly so I can go out prepared and safely.
Here is a link that will give you an idea of what some of the other members carry in the Mountains: Click Here-->http://snowandmud.com/forum/showthread.php?t=120
Good luck on getting out. I'll be posting some photo's of McBride sledding from last week for you to enjoy.
Hi Maestro: Be Sure To Purchase A Shovel, Beacon, And Probe Before Any Trip To The Mountains..... Like You Said, You Want To Ride Prepared And Safely.... Enjoy The New Sled, They Rock Pretty Good.
Have a tow rope and a buddy. I belive there is a story on the site from this past weekend where a group rescued a sled quite a ways back in the mountains. Me, I take Summitric who comes with all the tools you could ever want, a tow rope and a smile.
Know you ridding buddy, they could save your ride.
Hello Maestro, it is good that you are making sure that you are prepared for the mountains. One thing that I would make sure you do is when you get a beacon play around with it until you are comfortable using it, there are alot of people out there that have them but do not know how to use them. Hopefully you get up to the mountains soon because there is no riding like it, have a good one.
If you are looking for some local riding, the caroline area is nice, lots of trails and areas to go and play in. Great practise for heading to the bigger mountain area's. The folks in the Caroline snowclub have some very nice folks that will even show you around! Definately worth a call if you want to go fairly local. I think someone mentioned Quad ruts? There are usually a few of those, Would be nice if the quads left our snow alone!! (ya i know i just made some 4x4ing peeps angry )
