    The summer was great, got to check out a bunch of new spots and enjoy some time outside, below is a short sample:

    _

    May – Edge of the Bugaboos
    _
    June – Trapper Creek Trail
    _
    July – Valhalla adventure
    _
    August – Silvercup Ridge
    _
    September – Mt. Cline
    _
    But summer doesn't last forever so I am eagerly looking forward to more of this!

    Nice Mike!

    Way to get out there and get after it, you must have some big plans already in the works for the coming winter?

    There are a few plans, the main two being Ice Creek and the wapta, hopefully we have a good year!
