Might as well get the party started. Camps start going in today. I’m going to take ours in tomorrow. It’s snowing pretty good in gp right. Hope all our farmers got there crops off with minimal loss, may the snow be deep this year and everyone stay safe.

Cheers
Chadd

I would like to know what they are talking about the road was covered in snow and icy. Had to chain the bus up to get in but that is the norm some years. No deep ruts very little mud.

They reopened the open,.. lastnight.

Today has proved to be difficult.
Road reports this morning lead us to believe that road conditions were not favorable.
We ask that you move when conditions are favorable. Heavy loads moved when road is frozen, (night moves).
SCSC apologizes for the mixed messages received today.

We did not. A little delayed on that project. The back door is is turning out to be a bit of a chore.

Just got back,.. Weyco main good,.. two lakes good,. Stetson starting to get a little icy but still good. About 8in in parking lot and snowed about 1/2in Friday night. Road from staging to wood shed good,.. from there across creek to Y not so good, lot's of rocks and snow very thin.

Trail in was good, only a couple sleds ahead of us, trail was not groomed,.. stopped and probed a couple times and was anywhere's from 90 to 110cm, snow off trail was DEEP and stucksville on way in but was fun. Rode across lake to cabin,. bank on cabin side very high with a fun drift to hit,.. but sorry to say we are about 2-4ft shy of snow with that bank so high.

Way out was rougher than hell with all the whoops,.. hard to manage when people only making one track,.. creeks were higher and we almost dumped one sled.

My next trip is powder king,.. will hit Core after that,.. I don't think I will go back down to Kakwa until they get a big dump of snow.
