4 Friends, 4 Days, 4 Mountains(almost) and 16 Hangovers

[JHG]

So here’s a few pictures from Spring Break 2010. This started out as a group of friends sitting around after the West Yellowstone Snow Expo, thinking about sleds and doing shots by the handful. After about 25 shots and 8 pitchers of beer, courtesy of the Korner Klub in Bozeman, a plan was hatched. The details were spelled out on a bar napkin, 4 of us (Trogslayer907, Bart0678, Myself and Josh) would launch out on a four day road trip, sleeping in the trailer and searching hi and low in Montana for snow. The following are 26 of the 270 pictures taken throughout the trip.

We Started off in Bozeman, spent most of the day piling all this crap in the trailer, I think we had enough parts to rebuild an entire sled.

We met up with THA_Natty at the top of Kings Hill, here are the pictures from the Kings Hill ride on Day 1.

The BBQ at Natty's house in Great Falls, thanks for the hospitality buddy!

We had a broken sled at Kings Hill so before we continued our journey, we needed a new radius rod. The dealer in Great Falls was a strike out so we headed to a machine shop. They hooked it up and we were off.

The following is day 2, not a lot of riding, but lots of drinking and searching for snow. A big thanks to the Bootlegger Bar in Lincoln and Kurts Polaris for getting us squared away!

Day Three started with once again, fixing Josh’s sled. Replacing Hifax and cutting them with a tree saw was a good time. The snow was bad but the riding was fun.

The mission was altered in Seely Lake and we head back down Rogers Pass, The weather was looking bad so we had renewed faith that we might find snow.

The final day consisted of 2 blown up sleds, a malfunctioning Ski Doo and some new friends met along the way. I can proudly say my ride was the last one standing!

He found a couple inches of fresh!

Then it blew up!

Some new friends we met on the mountain!

Yeah, saw the problem with the Doo from the get go. No snowflap and "gay" different colored skis. Looks like you guys had fun though.

 

[JHG]

He tried to swap his blacks skis for the white ones before the trip but it was a B**ch to get the first one on so like a typical Doo rider, he gave up.

Don't be jealous of having 2 pairs of awesome skis that I can mix and match. I bet if you went around your village and took skis off all the sleds that are broken down (but really just out of gas and but you guys aren't smart enough to know any better) you could have tons of mixed and matched skis. You've also obviously never put on a set of C&A Pro skis either...Get a clue. Thanks Joe for postin these. It was an awesome trip...can't wait for jackson hole.

What Day were you at Weatherwax ? We were up there Sat afternoon and did a little playing. I was on the turbo Yammy with the mesh hood. Your sleds look like the ones that were there when we were. Ken....
