Turbo Doo Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 Made it back to cochrane to the westway from Post 392. Had a amazing day of riding. Trails were absolute perfection. Was very chilly today. All i can say is that cochrane is absolutely packed with trucks and trailers and sleds. Post 392 is a definite gem in the north. Marie and Bill are top notch hosts and what a spread of food Marie Prepares. If you have never stayed there, do yourself a favor and go. Just hanging out with some bevys awaiting 14Snow, Kashe rider, Sledjunk and group to arrive back here to get the friday night party started. Tomorrows ride sounds like possibly the canyon. Then we're home sunday. Pics.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We rode to Hearst from Cochrane yesterday via Kap. As we were in lunch in Kap, it started to snow. By the time we got to Mattice, there was at least 6 inches of fresh snow on the trail and visibility was nearly impossible. We joined IQT and the Dutchman for a good ride today back to Cochrane, once we got started. Yesterday, I go hung up on two different RRX on the way to Hearst. One in Kap, and the other just outside of Moonbeam, IIRC. Decided to check my carbides this morning and both on the left ski looked like hockey sticks. No wonder that ski was throwing up a snowstorm and the sled seemed to be pulling left! A short stop at the Yamaha dealer in Hearst and that was fixed. In addition, the 600 Etec in the group decided not to restart after it came out of the heated garage. Yamaha / Polaris dealer looked at it while mine was in the shop and changed the starter relay. We finally got back on the trail about 11 AM, but still made it here about 5:30. We stopped for lunch at a little restaurant in Moonbeam. It is off the trail a bit but relatively easy to find and had great food. Great meeting up with IQ and the Dutchman and riding today. Trails were a little bumpy in spots but there is a LOT of traffic up here, so no surprise. Heres a couple pictures from that days ride..this past Wednesday..

It is on the east side of Kenogamissi Lake and if I remember correctly it is almost across from The Cache on the west side (the bay that goes west almost to Hwy.144). They number the posts on the hydro line (or at least used to) and it was at Post 392. Awesome food when we were there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. It's right across from The Cache, it probably isn't on every kind of map but if you find the Cache, just go due East, they're on the power line right up on shore across the lake.

Techdenis007 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 They'll just create more standing water and cause some water to flow under the surface of the snow. Won't be any worse than the other 2 times ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledjunk Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Right now the snow is pretty dry and sugary. This makes it difficult to groom and set up. A little moisture might do a world of good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
