Riding off the Xmas Calories

Fantastic to get out of the house after all the holiday cooking and eating. Not to mention the eggnog with the added spice.

This beautiful sunrise would make anyone want to jump out of bed.

Wow - no filter required

The wildlife scenery is just like living in a Christmas card

Mother nature keeping us entertained on the drive

6 Doos, 2 Yamahas and 2 Polaris sleds with riders met at Opax and set off riding to the south. Stopped for a bit of lake play and chatting and then crossed over the highway to the north side where the snow was better.

Lake stop always includes social time

The sleds seem to be getting bigger!

OOPsy

Not quite enough snow to carve - it settled since last time we played on it

Tee"Pee" Lake is well named - WET

Monitoring the weather for our next ride. Hoping to see our new members come out for some fun. It's always great to ride with a group. We all help each other and everyone gets to where we're going.

Yahoo - Riding Again

Yaaay - the snow dance worked.
Bluebird day with good powder on Sunday.

Great day at Opax despite the deep freeze at Lone Butte

We weren't the only ones out there making tracks in the snow

Start of a nice day

Last 2 rides of the season ???

Spring has sprung ...with a lot of hot air.
The warmth sure feels good but not good for riding at the lower elevations and no new snow at the higher elevations.
The Club went out this past Sunday and Tuesday - both awesome rides despite the combination of freeze and melt.

Sunday funday ride.

Decisions, decisions ....what road next?

New logging slash - more great views

Enjoying the view, at least for a minute

Lone representative of the female riders

Last rest of Sunday's ride - heading for the barn

Tuesday's ride - another new area. Definitely riding here again next season. Another secret place (hahaha).

Doo-lightful day

Modelling for Ski-doo

Lots of play area - envision this after a fresh snowfall

Terrain for everyone

Maybe the die-hard sledders in the club will do another ride. We will see what Mother Nature's decision is.

If you're interested in back country riding, you should join the club next season.

Taj South

Sunday's ride. Smaller group. Great snow again.

New play areas.

Hot lunch day

View to the sunny south

Leaving on a jet plane

There was a Cub Road too but no bears yet

Still more rides to come.

Wavey - Heger area

Back to back riding days again.
The season is short so may as well go for it while there's snow.

Start of another good snow day

Drilling a well

Resting

Not resting

Lunch not in the sun

Practicing getting stuck while side hilling

Opax area

Saturday's ride. Temps of -29C north of town and -19C at Opax. Still a cold start.

The forecast for warmer afternoon weather inspired 10 riders to come out and play before the next polar vortex.

Parking lot drama - actually no mishaps yet

Love all the bright colours.
 In the past, everyone wore black with black sleds and you could end up riding with the wrong group.

Polaris turns on a dime

More great snow to track out

Feb 28th Secret Ride

Good snow and good temperatures on this ride. 

Not telling where we were - the Club can't share all of their ride areas. Have to keep you guessing.

One thorn amidst the doos - just joking!

Another Doo rider 

New blue doo

Big flat play area - awesome snow conditions and we were first in - yaaaay.
Don't look for our tracks.

Thanks to the loggers for the play area
