Lol, sounds like you are wanting to hear that it was horrible and didn't miss out on much.
Sucks about your buddies sled though. At least it was on the trail and not way back in silent - take that as a blessing it happened earlier rather than later that day!

We had to drag on out from the second lake one time. That was a long afternoon! Good old revs in 07.
How is the trail into silent might be coming for a day or two first of the week. Groomer rolling again?

Poor planning. Take at least 10 litres for safety. Better safe then dead!!

I always need gas with an etec. Nothing worse than idling out of an area full of pow cause your low on fuel. Coulda smashed more tracks down. It's also a good idea to have some fuel in the group in case a guys spends the night.

Kinda like crawling into your foxhole with only one mag. Might be enough. I'd rather have extra and not need it then need it and not have it
One linq can should be enough for those machines. We've hammered some pretty big km days back there before and needed it coming out
How's the snow thete lately. This storm cycle bring the goods?

Grooms scheduled: Jan. 11,13
Fees: $25 - Everyday except Tues/Wed
Parking: Lots of parking at 3 km (main) lot.
Road: It's a steep mountain road, please use chains and lower gears.
Additional notes: Gorman has seen some wind so the best snow is in the trees.

Silent Pass

Grooms scheduled: Jan 10,13
Fees: $25 - Everyday except Tues/Wed
Parking: Parking at 21km.
Road: Road is passable to the 21km parking lot.
Additional notes: The long sled in means that the good riding snow has been more preserved than usual in Silent.
The GSC paid for road clearing on Dec. 29 from the 7km to the 21km.
There has been snow since then but not enough to stop traffic from getting to the 21km parking lot.
Updates on maintaining this road will be a week by week decision.
