Hager Mountain Ride

On Sunday, January 6th, Earl and Michelle led the ride of 15 sleds on a loop starting out at the Opax parking lot.

Greg had some great energy and was anxious to get riding on his "modified" sled.

Never mind the modified sled, I think some of us could use a modified body
 to perform this well.

The snow conditions were pretty good even after the holiday traffic on the trails.

Always a great view.

Looks like Jeanne is throwing snowballs!

Bring on the snow.

We decided to head on to Hager Mountain via Deer Lake with a few kilometres of riding on plowed logging roads (groan), but at least those of us riding at the back were entertained by Greg's riding abilities.  You learn not to follow Greg's tracks, especially when you see him airborne!!

We had a quick lunch break at Hager Mountain since it was snowing like mad.  The visibility was terrible so most of us didn't venture too far.  We then took a different trail back to cow camp with only a few mishaps.  We discovered the importance of a tool kit and an emergency starting strap in case of a broken starter cord.  Another good reason to be riding in a group.  Then it was onto the Wavey Lake Road and back to the Opax parking lot.  As always, its great to be "out and about" on the sleds.
