Well by looks of forecast snow on its way ! About 4ft would be reeeaaaallll nice ! Just wanted to say BIG THANK YOU - Tex ! Fellow sledders like yourself really make the sport what sledding is all about - good times , few laughs and helping one in any way you can when possible ! If we hadnt ridden together - sled might still be stranded out there ! Rear suspension/drivetrain parts on order - hopefully here in next few days ! Plan on coming out after xmas for 4/5 days ! oh yah - got some teas on order for you ! lol

Still working out the best way to get in there and waiting for more snow to be able to sidehill the last k up to the cabin - the snow cat just doesn't lean into the hill as good as my Pro Climb!

Well stoped for a few hours to help out at eagles cabin today. Cabin is awsome.

Good job guys.


Needs some more plywood for walls inside , but she is all insulated and vapor barriered. Steps are up and set up.

Merry Christmas to all the peeps see you on the mountains this week

 

[PINKalicious]

I'm in sicamous right now. Grooming has not started here yet not enough snow this was the info last week.

But we do have a trail between owl head and blue lake which is awesome to have! It's good right now but will be quite rough until the groomer can get out. I'm not sure when they will pray for snow

We are down a bit at least 3' here is a pic from today at blue lake. Not being groomed there is lots if fresh as not many have been up there.

we road from our house 6 miles out if sicamous to blue lake 58miles round trip!

 

[revbyu]

Headed out today ! Parts in hand to do some repairing first ! Hopefully theres enough snow to drive up from main unloading area on owls !

 

[tex78]

Might come over for a tea tonight if u guys are fixing her up.


Blue lake on Sunday was better than the day Ur sled broke. Got way down and seen no one all day.
