Just got back from 3-5 feet FRESH!!!

eazyduzit509 · Jan 9, 2009

Dad and I just got back from South Fork Gold Creek, the park was all iced over but we didn't overheat. You had to hug the sides of the trail to keep cool, and the track would just spin. Anyways, after you hit about 4000 feet there was a few inches of fresh powder, Then....
As the ride progressed 4500ft, 5000ft, 6000ft, 7000ft, there was 1/2ft, 1ft, 2ft, 3ft, 5ft!!! All in all we had a great time but were cut short because of massive drifts headin up to a great bowl/hill... Damn! The best part is... When we were headin back about 10 minutes from the truck, the groomer's passed us! Oh great. But were gonna head back tomarrow morning (ya it was that good, and all untoched pow!!!) and ride in further on the fresh groom. Their groomer's chopped up the hard snow/ice well enough we didn't overheat on the way down and were hit'n over 100 mph on the trail!!! (watch out!).
Anyway, if anyone's SERIOUSLY interested this time, (take it from me it was great, got stuck alot which is a good thing, DEEP!) Just send me a PM and we talk. Tomarrow we'll be able to go up higher and the'l be tons! We took turns breaking trail which was ungroomed and had 2-3ft FRESH on it! Pic's arn't that great, we were busy ridin! And we NEVER hit anything, thats right no rocks, stumps, tree's, nothin!

You need a M8 162 in the group to bust through those drifts.

eazyduzit509 · Jan 9, 2009

Leme know.

Honestly man, that much snow? Where exactly did you go? End mountain, Bryans butte, south navarre?

eazyduzit509 · Jan 9, 2009

Thats where...

Thats "about" where the good spots are... Didn't get to make it that high, but we started a GC and worked our way up... And yes... In the fluff we were chest deep and couldn't find the bottom...

My dad's 159" 800 polaris dug a 4ft hole

TripleB · Jan 9, 2009

so did they groom from gold creek all the way to south navarre via grade creek?

Is that one picture right below coyote ridge? if so, could you climb it? no stumps?

I think so... Im not sure where their grooming. They were only 20 minutes in when we left. Thats like 5 miles for them... You can climb anything... We were out for 4 hrs and never hit a thing... The only thing to hit are tree's.

Lol! Love how people somehow think that public lands are "their" special secret place to keep for themselves, instead of realizing that it is all of ours to use equally.

If it is so secret what are they doing bragging about it here and posting pics?

eazyduzit509 · Jan 9, 2009

The map isn't extemely detailed so I may be off a few miles... Its in that general area.

. Get the coordanates, GPS it and head out!!!

ApeSh*tBananas · Jan 9, 2009

Nice pics

Was there really 3-5 feet there's hardly any snow on the trees in the pic's. We rode baker today and there was around 15'' of new on a couple of feet of wet snow. Good to finally get a day with some sun. :beer;

eazyduzit509 · Jan 9, 2009

Its almost always windy as H**l up their. It all blows off. Im not BS'n you guys, there's a bunch! And the forcast for the area a week ago called for 13-23" every night for a few days.

azzkicker · Jan 9, 2009

but its so much fun!!!!!

according to snotel and weather stations there was up to 34" of snowfall just north of there which can easly amount to some wicked wind drifts!

But when claiming up to 60" of POW peps are gonna give you a hard time about it regardless of the truth!!!

WTH?

Why is everybody bustin' this guy's chops?

(Well, not everybody)

I didn't think he was trying to keep the area a secret at all mtbarr64 but just a little unsure of exactly where he was according to that map.
He DID give an open invite to everybody...Sheesh, give the guy a break.

We all have ridden in 2' of really nice fluff with some 3' to 4' drifts and then exaggerate to our buddies that didn't go by telling them we rode in 3' to 4' freshies all day. haven't you ApeSh*tBananas?

The guy's stoked about his ride when a ton of people on this side are whining that the season is already over because of the rain we got.

I'd be stoked too.
Go ride with him and have fun. I gotta stay home and take care of a wasted back.

Don't forget to thank him for the invite,

looks good up there a few of us will be up there sat am probably out of black canyon but heading out that way. also eazy dont let some of the guys on here get to you just keep riding ,post'n pics and haven fun.

SLED2SHRED · Jan 9, 2009

At least one guy not only read my mind but COMPELTELY understood me... If you wanna talk drifts, ride up their and soak up the 5-10ft (YA!) peeks on the road...

. We can handle a little drifts here and there, but when the WHOLE road is blown over and the only option is sidehilling to your death

?!..... My conscience say turn around... We lost our first sled (my current sled) because of drifts and my dad's scared to death of them... We turn around... There was a huge climb we could have done but the hill was hundreds of feet up and was steep enough to yell AVY!!!

Just got back from 3-5 feet FRESH!!!
