scottyr Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I think most places are going yellow because the groomers are parked until it cools down. I bet they are green again by Monday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volunteer2 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Question on the canyon. I have done it counter clock wise. Not sure just the way cause the first time there was no west side. Pros or cons to changing it up and going clockwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggy Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Depending if you need fuel at the canyon. Twice the distance to the canyon from Cochrane vs from Smoothrock Falls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Fill up in SRF and head north. Not as big of a top up @ the trailer. Only time we've run the west side was coming east from Kap or Hearst. Rest of our trips to the Canyon were day trips out of Cochrane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volunteer2 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 That's us too coming from Kap stopping at the truck at SRF unload the bags and loop to the canyon and return to SRF so prob will do that last run to the truck will be Cochrane to SRF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to work it into a future trip as it's been a few years up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know how rough it can be in the afternoon riding between Cochrane and SRF. Personallly, for my last ride of the year, I would rather come down the west side from the canyon as opposed to bouncing my a_s back to SRF from Cochrane. Also, you will need enough fuel for 195 km. if you intend to go back to SFR without going into Cochrane for some fuel. You could also take a small container of stabalizer with you and you can put it in at the warm up shacks on A if you go that way. Then when you are done riding your sled at SFR, it has already got the stabalizer all the way through the system.

Then when you are done riding your sled at SFR, it has already got the stabalizer all the way through the system. A good idea. We used to take the 150 ml gasoline antifreeze containers w/ iso in them (tape around the cap). Never had an issue w/ leakage. If you don't run premium thru the season, you could fill your almost empty tank w/ it in Cochrane & by the time you got to SRF you'd be OK for that part of your summarizing. During our riding @irREVerent put premium in for his last 2 fills. I did my last fill up there & my last down here (w/ Sta-bil). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
