We are leaving tomorrow for Chapleau to sled back country for 3 days. Looking forward to all the fresh snow!

We were just there for lunch on Thursday and had some home made soup and fresh homemade bread that Annie had just made. That was all they had as they run the place themselves. Soup was awesome and hit the spot. The C trail down is completely different from years ago. It no longer runs the power line but instead runs logging roads. Trail was awesome and conditions were great. Lookout just south of them is a always great view.

Lifted the front of my sled up today to take picture of the Semi Aggressive Snow trackers after 14,000km. All carbide still in place.

No issues what so ever other than Tubo Tim comment about trailer guides. Originally had a set install on my Viper by the dealer and put on 10,000km. Then bought my Side winder and install another set myself on my sidewinder. Highly recommend them.

In 3 years I now have over 14,000km on my original set...and still going. I do ride aggressively standing up (on my side of the trail). I gone over rr tracks bridges roads rough terrain.

I put the semi aggressive on my 2018 Sidewinder and never regretted it. Don't need to worry about hole as they will not be coming off.

L143 is all yellow now!

We have been following updates on L143. We will be running this trail in 2 weeks heading from Auld Reekie to Cochrane.

Not familiar with Doo suspension as I am on Yamacat and Poo, but all suspensions have similar principles. To put more or less pressure on skis the front shock in your skid has more influenced than your ski shock springs. Your front or center shock/spring is the pivot point in your sled. You should back of your ski setting then play with center shock going harder and lighter in the same day on the same snow and play with settings from there. Hope this helps.

I was out twice this week in SW Ontario and our new challenge is to never sled beyond the stakes, or you owe lunch for the whole group. Actually had a lot of fun with this new challenge. First day out I missed a bend coming too fast over a rise. I could have fought it and made the bend, but took the hit for the team. I have never seen so few tracks leaving the trails as these last two days. It was good to see the respect for our trails.

Yellowstone...

Social media or forums are not the place to post your lone position. Abitibi camp, should sit down at a table with both clubs together or singularly and discuss the issues, or vice versa for the clubs to sit down with Abitibi, then with all 3 groups together come out on social media with a collective statement showing the unity. You do not get anywhere singularly making statements, as then it becomes he said, she said, sh*t show, which is what it is now.

Ran to Kap and back today, after changing out a dead battery, started cold but got better. Tomorrow we are back to via different loops to have lunch on O'Brian patio.

We made here this morning, with alot of black ice. No one in the ditch but wow was it tricky driving. after a dead battery on sled we got out and going for a run to cochrane and back. boy was it frigid. lots of snow and excellent trail conditions. tomorrow Kap and back with lots of side loops. will post some pictures tomorrow.

We are staying monday to thursday in smooth rock and doing loops from there. Polaris. Viper and a Doo, 2nd Polaris had to drop out. I will be riding my Polaris with a Yamaha Klim suit, as new suit and helmet on production delay.

We are leaving Sunday till Thursday for Smooth Rock at a 4 season cottage taking burgers, steaks, eggs and bacon. pack a trail lunch or take-out lunch and good to go. Can't wait! Intend to eat up all the snow we can.

Nope all going to New building in Grand Bend. They now have complete full Yamaha line of power sports.

Brian is still there and new owner has big plans and resource to make it a go to spot. Building complete new building in Grand Bend.

That is a huge bag!

I picked up my Kimpex bag and mount today. It's a tight fit and not fully tighten down yet as I am still wrenching on my sled yet. Trying to pimp it out with some blue LED lights yet. I still want to get the 1gal or 1.75 gallon white container for oil to fit on top of my gas container.

Just got my call this aft that my bag and mount are in. Will try to post pictures tomorrow with it mounted behind gas can.

217km of trail today

That's why there 2 sleds in my garage!

Global climate change...no need for sleds.
