Well its still snowing like a son of a gun out there, I had some boys off the renshaw tell me that any more snow and they would be stuck up there and another group said the only thing that would make the trail better is a booth with Rye and Hamburgers so I think everyone will be in for a world of fun this weekend!

Rod is planning to groom Lucille this evening and then Belle tommorow, get all the trails nice and spiffy for the boys and girls this weekend!

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

with all this snow the east central area BC has been getting is seeming to funnel down around the prairies especially west central sask and east central alta. its been cloudy and snowy since last saturaday since its blizzard for 24 hours. this is the most snow we have had in january in a long long time and its awesome. finally!!

i hear that la nina system is parked out in the pacific and is suppose to keep channeling moisture like this all the way to april.... if this is true this could be one reallly deep winter... one for the records maybe.

i know its tough to work in sometimes but for me i will live with it cause when you can ride busting powder its all worth it... no matter where you are.

Does anyone know where to get info regarding road closures. Want to head make a trip to Mcbride/Valemount this weekend but don't want to drive 4 hrs to get to a closed road. Obviously the road I would be traveling would be highway 16.

Ron only runnin 6lbs of boost??:rant:

We changed the front A arms to Zbros and just a general going over. Its actually been a turn the key and ride sled all season. Running 12 - 14 lbs boost.

We'll be up in Mcbride Friday to Sunday, should be a great time. We'll restock glen with gear and goodies.

We were out and another person in our group needed a custom tool for his turbo to do an adjustment. The Quag just happened to have the tool with him, and all the tools for the job, that was on the hill. He said he was used to wrenching the Nytro all the time. Funny thing is we havn't done any on the hill this season. lol.

It will be a great weekend in McBride.
