Shepherd SnowClub

Well all 30 of the Shepherd SnowClub members that attended the trip on Sunday December 21st were in for a treat.  When we arrived Caberfae has just finished cleaning up from the 12 inches of snow that had fallen on Friday so the slopes were covered in powder.  On top of that, over the course of the day the resort received an addition 12 inches of snow, creating complete powder runs almost the entire day.  SnowClub members were able to experience many things that we don’t normally; powder riding, powder up to our knees riding, and a few even got runs in on double black diamond I-75!  Dave or other senior members could not remember a better day at Caberfae or in Michigan for that matter.  The way this winter is going we might see a few more like that!

Well while it was a crappy rainy day yesterday it didn’t stop members of the Shepherd SnowClub from having a good time at Caberfae.  Warm temperatures and some light rain left most of us wet but satisfied with the slushy snow/powder mix that was very forgiving when impacted.  The pictures for yesterdays trip can be located here and there is a short video that used a couple clips from Dave’s digital camera.  Turn out has been great so far, lets keep it up.  Please try to let Dave know if you will be going the next couple weeks(either by phone or email right now, possible sign-up coming soon hopefully) as it is important to have a good idea ahead of the time during these holiday weeks.  We are planning on going every Sunday but will need enough people to justify the trip.

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know that the new Sunday forms are up on the forms section of the webpage.  They reflect the new 9:00am leaving time.  There will be more forms and overnight info soon.  Everyone give Dave a round of applause for doing 2 blog posts on his very own(yay!!!!).

We are going to be leaving at 9 am from the bus garage for all the rest of the Caberfae trips.  This time seems to work pretty well.  Please let everyone you talk to know of this change.
