I was up on the Willow side (Churchill trail) on Fri. Good snow there too.
Good snow everywhere in the Hatchers area now. I left Sat afternoon and still no wind. Hope it stays that way.

looks good can someone give me alittle bit better direcitons than whats in the directory in the AK section? And a brief description of what the terrain is like. Is it steep as hell and loaded with boulders to total a sled on like crashers pass or is it nice meadows like in the pictures. Just courious if I can take a beginner rider there are not.

If you go up from Church Rd. it is pretty mellow. The trail up can get thin and kind of icy in spots and rutted out from 4x4's using the trail but it's not too bad. Once you're on top it's easy terrain. There are some fairly steep hills if you want to climb but there's also a ton of wide open flat terrain to ride. It's a fun area when they have snow. The trail up is a little over 3 miles. I don't know about taking a first time rider up there, but if they've been on a sled a few times and know about weight distribution(both feet on one running board) I think they'd be fine.
If you do go...after you do about 3/4 mile worth of moguls look for a trail on your left. Take that through the woods and go left again, it will seem like you're doubling back for a bit but it's much easier than taking the regular trail which can have a nasty icy/rocky S-turn at times.

I don't know that I would take someone who can't handle a sled very well. Sections of the climb are icy and bare and you have to keep on the flipper. Then again, we all had to learn sooner or later.

Hey`
WTH these friggin' career students? LOL!! Hey Joe, don't remember the ride in the fall being so bad. Got a moose up in there a couple years ago and have wanted to get a snowmachine up there since. Last year wasn't the year but looks like this year is the one. Heading for Hatchers in the morning. Woo Hoo!!

Back on the old rev chassis....nice.
It started raining on us this fall when we were coming down. Turned that clay-dirt so slippery you could hardly stand up. If we were on wheelers, it would have been less exciting, but you cant use body english on a Rhino...like I said, it was really exciting coming down the top two climbs....

By the way, I bet everything on the Wasilla/Palmer side of Hatchers is toast. The wind has been kicking the last two days...
