You guys are making me jealous. Damn, we just barely got any snow that stuck and you're already riding.
I sure do miss the Snowies.

thanks man i hope its still like that in a couple weeks i really hope to have a good time it would be too long of a trip not too if anybody wants to show us whats up let me know we are all willing to learn lol
Rode on Friday the 13th. We waited until about 2:30 in the afternoon to go up. Had clear skies and 10" to 14" of fresh powder. I was surprised at the base that has set up. We even got off of the trail and picked our way through the trees. Of course it was through areas that I know are not littered with rocks. Hopefully we get more before Thanksgiving.

Rode Sunday! Awesome snow better than mid december last year by marie and didnt make it around back because we were three up'n a sled my girlfiend me and her daughter. After my motor sheet the bed. Was even able to do some small jumpin and climbing. Awesome powder, carefull of the landmines though, not a ton of base probably 4 feet between base and fresh. We were able to unload at green rock sunday and ride down the side of the road, thats how good it was. Motor blew on the 07 because it has like a trillion miles on the motor I had put in it in January last year. Go Ride, just be carefull right now, stay on the roads if you want, plenty for that! Nice to get out in November before turkey day for a few miles anyway

Also saw alot of carnage from people going where they shouldnt yet, you have to know what the mountain looks like in the summer to ride it in the winter and get the most out of it I think
Absolutely need to know whats under that fresh snow before you go hauling a$$ through that meadow. Spending time up there in the summer can save you some big repair bills in the winter.

Dido...we went up sunday and it was AWESOME. me and my group saw your sled runnun up that hill...pretty impressive. we were sitting off to your right at lake marie. i had the black and white xp, was with 2 rmk's and 2 rev's. I'll look for ya next time.
That fresh snow was from Friday. The forecast was for another storm sat/sun to put down around another foot but went off to the south.
Looks like you guys had a good time! Eric
Exactly - the second storm was an upslope storm so the east side of Colorado, SW Nebraska, and SE Wyo got hit. Mtns didn't get chit from the second storm. Same thing that happened in early October (9th) when Denver got hit. The east side of the Snowy's got snow. French Creek got skunked. Not a normal storm track, the majority of the storms nail the west side of the mtns.
Probably just a day trip for me to run the sleds around - waiting for better snow to do extended trips.
