Shane, I was think what the heck you do with all that snow. I have a plow on the front of my quad, as I'm an old guy.
Might be a good year to own a snowmobliey, at least one more good reason I bet ski should just rock this year, hope the body can handle it.

My folks have 4-5 feet in the fields northwest of Peace River---nice thing is if your over 60 the plow comes in and does your yard with one swoop--they do a good job and are on it every time it snows.The grader has the extended plows on both sides,one trip/circle loop into the yard and you have a 30-40 foot cleared path all the way to the barns.They need the water up there this year as last year there was next to nothing---dug out was down 7 feet.Here's hoping.DW

I saw in the mountains, they are doing the double cut on the snow piles. I luv it. I like snow, just wished I had more money for a sled. If you go off the road, your stuck...
I was in the Chetwynn area working, they have a front loader for snow removal. They just dump the snow over the fence. Some years, you can drive over the fence...with the loader

Hey you hard core sledders out there, Golden has killer deep snow. I bet there is at least 4-5ft at the base. Drove by a few launch points along the hiway coming out wetcoast. Might be 4-5ft at Roger pass.

A coworker had to leave his quad and hike out for 4 hours after getting stuck in Waiprus---dark by the time he reached his truck---fetched it the next day with a few other quads.Winch was no help as it was buried to the handle bars in a deep cutline valley.This is what happens when you "RIDE ALONE".No sympathy from me.DW

Just got home last night, wow is was snowing up between Rogers pass and Revestoke. I bet it snowed another foot up there. Must have snowed here in Airdrie 1-2in last night, nothing really..
If it keeps snowing like this, Brett you will be able to drive the sled over to my house.

LOL, if I can ever keep them running I just might. Had a 10km hike out on Saturday, when my sled died, and then my buddies sled that we were using to tow it melted through a coolant line. Still had a good weekend, wasn't really excited to come home to -30 though...
