You could say something like:
"Thanks! It really does look like a great community. I'm excited to join and share some sledding experiences!"
Or, slightly shorter:
"Looks awesome! Can’t wait to be part of the discussions and connect with fellow sledding enthusiasts."
Groomer broke down on the north end of the 204 last night as well. I was on that trail last night and was smooth as butter. The yellow section from Grass Lake to hwy.11 has quite a bit of road running
