I really hate to say this but that doesn't look that bad.. Maybe it's the picture.. are those rock ledges I see right below the turn at the top?

remember these words..cause when you are sitting at the bottom after going up and back down I want to hear what you have to say.......lol....:beer;:D

hehe. Its a little steeper than that dv. That was after the first pull of the hill. Once you get on the climb up. it steps up a bit. not much 45% max. You should try it on hardpack hero now with no mess up. Good Times. YARD SALE.

DV I am a little more reserved than some of the young guys on here (read older) if you want to do a little riding this year I would be glad to show you around.
I must admit that I do like to climb more than the average guy but there are lots of areas to climb and play in powder at the same time.

AKsnowrider,
I ran into bottom feeder at hatchers last year, good rider and a good all around guy to ride with. Look forward to meeting a few more riders in the area. I have a group that I ride with and we usually ride anywhere from Cantwell to Lost Lake, but am looking to do a little more good riding closer to home this year, never been up placer but it looks like fun, Grandview etc. We'll have to get together for a couple of rides this year (I thought you guided as well if I am picking up what others are saying in some posts)

Snow on the mountains, won't be long.
