Got enough snow now to run the snowmachine,but the water crossings are still open so limited in range.

Great pics. I think it's gonna be a long hard cold winter.


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

I dont mind long and cold winters,but when the snow gets too deep it makes things tough.

Fired up the 550 today and ran it around the yard.
Will take it on the line tomorrow to pack a base on the camp trail.

Boco, have you seen JR's groomer he drags everywhere with his snowmachine ?

I bet you'd do well with something similar. I see JR use it all the time on his AKhowler thread. You've probably seen that too.

Yes Sharon I watch JR's vids-they are great. I dont normally groom my trails,but many trappers do drag a groomer.I just poke along at a slower speed,lol.If a trail gets too bad I will drag a ladder with weight on it a few times to smooth it out some.
Many years ago when many trappers used the elan some would also keep an alpine double track to drag their groomer when their main trails got too "wavey"

Oh yes winter. Just freshen up some canine sets and of course we got close to 2 - 3 inches on top of them. I don't mind a dusting but not that much. Now maybe we can cut some tracks and get some cable out.

Anyways love seeing your pics Boco.
Winter is long up north here, I don’t wish for the snow to fall because I know it eventually will, or did already. Lol
