Max Temp: -19.4C
Min temp: -28.1C
|
 9:58 AM With the sleds fired up we go in for breakfast. |
9:59
AM It is minus 30, we have fired up the sleds so they warm while
we have breakfast... 141101V ...there is frost and steam and smoke in the air on this COOL morning! |
 Except a pair of handle bar hooks we have completed our 2013 Project sled transformation from Bush Whacker to SNOCRUISE Prairie Max 600. |
 |
 |
 |
 11:14 AM The sleds are warm and being unloaded. |
 11:15 AM Unloaded making a couple spins. |
  |
 |
 |
 11:25 AM Time for some orientation and suspension adjustment that will better suite the rider. |
  |
 11:08 AM We hit the open fields and meadows near Duck Lake. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 12:29 PM And the FUN begins! |
 |
 Surely your guide wouldn't take you into deep snow...and get you stuck! |
 |
 |
 |
  |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 11:03 AM Snocruising the meadows! |
|
11:04
AM Snocruising around while some team members of our group... 141102V help others get unstuck in the dry Saskatchewan powder. |
 Someone stuck getting a push out. |
 |
 12:37 PM We check out a porcupine walking into the trees out of harms way. |
  |
 12:41 PM Frosty helmets. |
 11:03 AM Enough wild life, time to snocruise! |
 . |
 12:56 PM Heading across the fields. |
And Saskatchewan meadows 141103V |
 1:02 PM Stuck in this nice little hollow. |
 |
 |
 |
 11:03 AM Looks like a wrestling match going on there. |
 1:21 PM Out of the breeze down in a hollow we have a visit. |
 |
 |
 |
 1:27 PM Holy moly! Not a track as far as the eye can see! It doesn't get any better than this! |
 This is what we have been looking for all day! Time to make Tracks! |
 1:35 PM Stuck! No pain, no gain! |
 The team springs into action digging out the stuck SNOCRUISER! |
 |
 Extra help arrives. |
 I just about submerge this special edition Yamaha XTC-P 700 snowmobile and one quick responsive tap on the go pedal and she's just about air borne pivoting on the agile 121! 121's are FUN! |
 |
 1:47 PM In the back country we follow a nice trail, but the deep snow has us off balance in the trees! Stuck! |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 11:03 AM Three tries for a dollar! |
 1:51 PM We stop to put together a helmet that has come undone. |
  |
 Every one waits while I repair this visor which seems to have detached it's self from an unusual excessive inside pressure! |
 2:39 PM With the visor repaired the team fires up and we head out looking for our next snowmobile wonderland. |
I think someone was not using the NO FOG properly and was aggressively scarping frost off the inside of there visor which broke it off the helmet. |
  4:11 PM Heading back to Duck Lake across the fields. |
 4:20 PM The oil light is on, meaning that the oil is getting low, and it is time to take the precaution and check more closely. |
 |
 One lad wearing a neck warmer under his No-Fog, and we have one lad fogged up out of the whole group! |
Here
is the instructions one more time! NO FOG masks The Original NO-FOG High Performance breath deflector  |
