Let us know what it looks like up there as soon as you can, thanks. George. Bill won't be up to "Paradise" until after the holidays. He travels south to visit family Thanksgiving to Christmas.

MrGutz Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Hi DonSorry to hear about your motor. That is a real bummer. Bill Thanks guys, it really sucks... it's an 04 with only 75k on it (Mostly Canadian Miles), it is still under the GM extended warranty, so maybe try again in two weeks. thanks Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longriderss Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Thanks guys,it really sucks... it's an 04 with only 75k on it (Mostly Canadian Miles), it is still under the GM extended warranty, so maybe try again in two weeks. thanks Don Sorry Don. You will have great snow in two weeks. We did 300 miles between yesterday and today. Groomer was out late this afternoon and starting down 93. It`s sill snowing outside right now and we had about 12 inches of new snow on the ground this moring. We tried to go down trial 368 but it had not been broken and 3 feet of fresh snow was just tooooo much to handle. Great riding is here. Should only be a week or so until you can ride right down into town. Some trails are groomed just on the north side of the Sagunee. The trails were not very crowded today.

Early Rider Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Snow conditions were great. Not much groomed however lots of breaking trail. The least amount of people i've seen there t-day weekend in a number of years The Zec sucked due to extensive plowing save the money and skip it. The new XP is all it was built to be and more in my opion. Rode 330 miles just the same. Ordered parts to repair my own ignorance and will be headed for the hill Thursday as well. Gas at La Chapelle $4.92 per US gallon = bring lots of cash no plastic this year Great ride lots of snow and good times with great freinds ER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
