I'm heading out right now to scout a ride for tomorrow. The only problem might be open water in the goose. I'll post later this evening on what we find.

Well here it is my friend. Just got back from the goose/meekwop. There is a fresh 18-20 inches on a 2 foot solid base in the trees where the wind hasn't got it and its still snowing. We are going to hit it in the morning. It looks like a real fun ride. Here are a few pictures. Sorry for the prophanity, Noel was a little po'ed that he got chosen to be the snow meter Pictures were taken 12 km northwest of the S.O.S. corner or 4ish kms south west of Goose Tower. One last push before spring...yeeehaaaa

I rode Goose tower on Wednesday and it SUCKED!!! Snow kept coming over the hood and hitting me in the goggles and I had the wrong color of lences in cause the sun was way too bright at times and those dang drifts...some of them must of been 10 feet high, my sled kept wanting to fly right off the ground. Oh well I'll try again today and see if its any better

If you want to meet us at Whitecourt MacDonalds around 6:30 am Sat. morning, or if you know how to get there, we should be riding by 9 am. We will be parking at the fork in the road, near the shack.
