Taweel area

Good powder. Good company. Good fun.

Ride was all about swamps, lakes, logging roads and hills.

7 riders at the start and end of the day :)

I have your back when riding at the back

No hot lunch today.

See you on the next ride.

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

Back Country Fun

No shortage of snow this year. Best riding conditions in a long time.
Can venture into the same area twice and it's as if we've never been there.

Saturday's ride included a bit of logging road riding, play time in the logging slashes, some lake play and a bit of ditch play.

Couples who ride together have more fun!!

Lake play 

Group photo time ....groan.

Used to play in this logging slash - trees have sure grown - the black speck in the trees is a sled

Quick rollover

Experimenting with black and white photography

Looks like the sweep's sled. STUCK...can't be - must be someone else riding it.

This is what the view is like when you finally get off the trail

What are they all doing in the ditch?

Ooops moment

Always a good day when everyone has fun. Some riders are enjoying back to back riding days. Oh, if only there were no sore muscles at the end of the day.

Feb 15th Ride to Hager

Not ready to give up on the snow yet!  5 club members went out in search of the white stuff heading off from Taweel Road.  Mostly a beautiful day with only a couple of snowflakes for a teaser.

Could be more snow but at least we're not in the mud!

Hager Mountain in the background 

Playing around at Hager - no deep stuff but good to be out riding.

Possession is 9/10th of the law

First time at Hager Mountain this season.  Wow - the winter that wasn't!!
