I truly feel that after successfully (that is, making it without loss of limb or life) reaching the top of the "Extreme" trail at Riversedge trail system, I have earned my way out of hill climb probation.
However, if climbing on a dirt bike does not apply towards snowmobile hill climbing, then I really need to invest in new picks on the XC. The 120 that "were" in the track have all either broken, bent, worn or are missing completely. I am guessing I have somewhere around 27-41 picks that actually touch the ground at this point.
What says the Prez?
As for the time delay in departing the Cabins at Mt. Valin, I gather that cannot be cleared until no delays are created by #5 on this years trip. I am training now.
