BruteMan Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Just FYI for all you sledders in the Polar Bear Club area of Cochrane from their FB tonight: Polar Bear Riders Snowmobile Club Attention A103 Riders on the eastside there will be a dozer working on preparing a 2.2 km section of new trail tomorrow about 7 kms north of Gardiner Ferry crossing or the ice bridge. Once completed we will be blocking off access to the logging road diverting the snowmobile traffic onto the newly levelled trail. Pay attention to signage and ride slowly through the area in the future as it will be a bit rough until we get more snow and can start grooming it.

East side of L103 is a little rough in places due to only being groomed a couple times. West side to SRF is wicked fast. A trail from SRF to kap is wicked flat and fast. Glad you found some new trails. We would make a good directional pair. Enjoy your ride and I will keep my eyes posted for L103 next time in area.

Basketcase Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Hey soup, how was the canyon? Is there a lot of snow for off trail riding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soupkids Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Canyon was pretty packed down as far as I went in. If you want deep stuff head towards hearst, not many hills but its mighty deep up that way. Lots of pipe line and pole lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunz Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 We rode the Canyon today, on the way up West side there’s tons of fresh powder, we went quite far back in the hills and it’s been packed down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm too chicken $hit to climb them and wreck a sled. I think hill 3 was the limit. BP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lep Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 If your running day trips in the area trailer in . go the north rd for a few miles .. and ride the canyon out to base camp for a snack...then ride back thru the canyon..its about 1hr and 15 of a drive from the westway.. Or ride the hydro lines up to the canyon...go play and trail or hydro back out...its a fun area... and yes there is a granny trail around the hills...

monte1214 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Ya gotta love the effort Doo is putting into their Speedos....telling customers they're doing 110mph.

Yes I know. 50 years ago they were talking to people on the moon, full duplex communication. My '15 800 speedo is 10km/h optimistic at 90k, and 20 @ 180. I'm going to open a case with BRP because I'm sure there's a setting that can be manipulated somewhere, or there's an error in the calibration that has been made and no-one caught it. I confirmed with my 2 gps and it's exactly 9/8 ratio for ind/actual. Coincidentally, in 2008 the XP drive axle had 9 teeth, and my XS sled has 8 ..........

I know you can't look down cause you are going too fast, but when you have to slow down when the trail gets a little bumpy, and with the inferior suspension you must have time? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My yamicats suspension is pretty good on the trails too. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monte1214 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Back on track with the thread......best place to test the speed Barberch will be on the West side of the canyon next week. There'll be no bumps and no turns to worry about.....so I'll be golden! Ha!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobills Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I'm sure you do move past a 800 850 on a straight trail. Probably not in the twisty trails more like moving a tank in the woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
