April 3/13 - Spring riding in bowls, bare patches down low

Thought I would give you a look at the yard. The trails has some bare patches right out of the gate but then its still snow covered but that is what you will run into at staging areas. The guys said they ran into a bit of gravel getting into Harvey but wished they could stay one more day and ride Harvey/Shepp Creek again. They said its set up everywhere (especially Limestone) but that Harvey/Shepp had lots of unridden snow. Reports from them and from some other experienced spring riders said there was some big natural avalanches cycling with all our warm weather. Commercially I say our season is over but if you are accustom to spring riding...for some its mid spring season riding. You can go a lot of places - good time to get out and see what you haven't been able to see in deep snow but you have to have the right mind set for it. This is the first rain that looks like its going to hit us. It is cool out too with the breeze biting a bit but it says +8. We are supposed to be subject to rain this week and snow on Monday but temps are going to stay mainly above +5. Cooper going out with Shawn and Austin on the Timbersleds this weekend but then after that we are going to put the wheels on everything. Kids are itchin to dirtbike - Sommer just got a new Suzuki 125 from Walt Healy - thanks Sheldon and Trent! We have decided to sell the 2006 370Z Arctic Cat fan cooled. It has been an awesome sled - great for all kinds of snow conditions and pulled lots of toboggans and has even been up in Limestone but Sommer started to graduate to the 600 Rev and really likes it so we reluctantly are going to part with the Cat. It has been very well cared for and maintained and the only thing we can say about its condition is that it has a rip in the seat. Great thing about it is Sommer has been able to start the Arctic Cat since she was 8-9yrs old and an adult can ride it too. If you are interested give us a call. Our summer season is booking up so if you know your dates give us a call. Cheers! V
