I want them to enjoy themselves and will be teaching them some basics. Mostly meadows and rolling hills
I have been going to West Yellowstone for 20yrs
Both girls Have been trail riding with me in the flatlands since they where two but have no backcountry experience.
They weight 150-160lbs and have been riding there own sleds since 11.
I would like to hear first hand experience of which sled I should bring or buy for this entry level trip..
My stable includes
05 800 gade with 1.25 track
06 freestyle 300 121 with .88 trach
09 gade xp 600 1.25track
19 850 165
They have mostly ridden the freestyle but we do switch off and they comfortable on both gades but the 05 is kinda a pig
I am not opposed to buying a different sled like a 144 but I don’t what to make the mistake of giving them too much sled.
I am open to extending the freestyle and getting a 136 track for it
Or putting a bigger paddle on the other gades
Any Ideas would be appreciated
Thanks
