I might be able to do Sunday as well. I would be by myself. So it would just be the 2 of us unless you have others that want to go.

I just bought a 2005 Polaris RMK 900 a few weeks ago. Today I got it stuck and when I tried to lift the front end up the bumper snapped right off in my hand. The bumper on these machines are garbage. They have no strength at all. Any way I couldn't get upto Park Mountain today cause the trail from my house is the back way and it had a huge tree blocking the trail. I ended up riding to Tsuius which is about another 45 km past Sugar Lake. We only rode up to the chalet cause they don't let sledders in there till after the cat skiing is done (March 31).

If you are a good rider and are looking for some really good bowls and hill climbs that where we should go. If you really want to go to Park I may be interested in going next week end. We would have to go from the Lumby side (Mable Lake). I will be ordering a new bumper and a few other parts for my sled and I hope to have it fixed by next weekend. If not I can ride my other machine.

I took some pictures of the Tsuius Chalet and will post them tomorrow. None of the pictures are of any thing that great cause I didn't want to go off the groomed trails with my broken bumper.

Well, went to Park yesterday from Mabel lake side. I think it is called Taylor Creek. It has a small parking lot and it was pretty full. The trail up was very icy with a few open spots about 5 kms up. Coming down and those open spots were now one big open mud bod and if this weather keeps up this will be very bad shortly. The mud bog was still skinny enough to get around thank goodness. The rest of the trail up to "the rock" was a little bumpy but ok.

Oh yea, the day was great with lots of sun, had mostly fresh tracks for the day with only about 6" of fresh snow on top of some heavier hero snow. Nice day so we skipped across the ridge and did some exploring on the other side and found more fresh stuff with lots of hills to climb and open spots to carve up.

The season is coming to a close so get in there while you can!

Cheers,

Paul.

Can't wait till after April 1st to go back up to Tsuius for some serious riding. There is a ton of snow up there.
