Between myself and my sister-inlaw we talked my wife into going for a day of sledding at Cataract Creek. She's typically not an outdoor and by the way it's cold kind of woman. The weather couldn't have been better and the 8 of us had great day of riding the trails. We staged at Cataract and did a nice loop that brought us back for lunch. Brought some firewood and roasted hotdogs in the cookhouse. Lunch, snacks and drinks and everyone was happy to get going again. The trails were pretty rough but expected without any new snow. The girls had to walk around a couple of ice flows cause the sleds would swing sideways with the extra weight on the back. I know cause I was first across and luckily my passenger didn't panic (pretty good drop on one side). We started towards Etherington after lunch and rode Baril loop to find some views. The big joke today is how sore everyone is from riding but a good sore. My wife had a lot of fun and my daughter and her best friend are already asking when we're going again. Minimal damage for the day when my wife tried to use reverse on the trail but forgot to put the scratchers up. She snapped one completely. I think I'll be looking for a reasonably priced touring sled for my wife and daughter. The best friend is much braver and would like to ride her own sled. I'll post some pic's when I find the camera. Got to stop for snow-angels and there's my happy wife (fxr) and my sister-inlaw.
