July sledding has been the best ever this yr. fresh snow up high has made it smooth and the cool weather has left us with the best July snowpack in 15 yrs maybe ever, but my memory fades baddly after 10 to 15 yrs.. glad I don't have any kids older than 15 I probably would forget who they are...


here's the Scariest, baddest chutes up on Boulder, Revelsoke BC
top ten starting with the #1 worst and toughest chute,,


#1 The Arm Pit, one attempt, one success, Randy Swenson
#2 Irmens Arm first ascent Mike Irmen
#3 The Gash first ascent Paul Gibbs

#7 The Monster first ascent Turbo Don Lentz

#8 Swenny street


not sure why it's called this cuz Norm Leslie has the first ascent in it 3 yrs before swenny ever tired this chute.. I believe OZone called it this and the name stuck, should be renamed to give Norm his glory, I'd not want my name on a chute that I never had a first ascent in..

#9 Camp out, the chute that Trennis is on the cover of TS 4, Norm Leslie also has the first ascent in this one... filming Adrenaline Rush, back before 4 stroke turbos even were a dream..

#10 The Airport chutes, first ascents by the original EXTREME TEAM, Reese Dickenson got the first two chutes done first, I got the third one done first, Shawn Hastings got the 4th one done first and Dave Knight got the 5th one done first, Dan Bush got the very first one the sidehills into Redemption done first, the 4th and 5th one have one entry but Y's at t he top into two exits, #1 refers to Redemption, #7 is short but really tight and scary in July... and there's the lake chutes, the Turbo hill chutes and the Nasty bad boy past Turbo... probably 30 amazing tech, tight and tough chutes up boulder Mtn... I believe this area has the most chutes in one area in North America

Reese first climbed this in Snow Extreme 2 I beleive maybe snow Extreme one, on a Polaris 700 in May.. that would be 1997 or 1996 did Polaris even have a 700 in 1996 to 1997???

Chute #6 is left chute #1 is next also called Redemption and then chute #2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and so on
 
wow, plenty of snow up there still... that is amazing for mid july... you guys might even snag an august ride up there... jealous for sure... i would love to get out of this crappy heat...
 
Great details in the timeline Dan. We renamed it to "Megs Street".....she was the first Chick to climb it and leave a few veterans tumbling back down the mountain. Cause yeah I didn't name it or climb it first.:face-icon-small-sho

These are all bad azz and will spit the most veteran climbers out all day long.
As witnessed by our Sled Golf tourney in April and several of the keeners on both sides of the borders that have yet to make some of them. :face-icon-small-ton

Again good job on the timeline.........appreciated.

Nope I think she is totally cool with it.........she deserves it.:face-icon-small-hap As long as Normy is.

Nice to check those pics out. Thanks again :face-icon-small-ton

Whoa whoa, I am flattered but I def dont deserve a rename on the chute! Without you veterans showing us it could be climbed I would have never dreamed it possible!

Hmmmmm is it winter yet??? :D
 
I can't believe the balls on the guys hitting some of these 10-15 years ago on the old iron! Pulling up to the bottom of any of these will strike fear in to 99% of today's riders with double the technology and horsepower. Bravo guys! Is the mile in the monster bowl?

Yep , to the left of the monster.
 
Nasty chutes!! Polaris came out with the 700RMK in 97. I cannot imagine climbing that stuff with my old 700!!
 
which one is the arm pit?? my guess is the the left of the arm but there is no snow left there.............
 
yes the arm pit is up Irmens arm, but stay left at the top and hug the cliff. Randy climbed it this yr while filming with Thunderstruck, the climb is in the teaser,,, absoulutly amazing... slow motion at the top......Road twice this weekend.. July 23 and 25 up Meadow Mtn, near Kaslo
