One of the local radio stations on the way up to ride one morning said they were over 100% of yearly accumulation (snowpack).. and ya.. I have only been riding there like 8-9 years.. its the most i have seen

What do you mean the air is really bad?

I was there earlier this year and ran 6-9k feet and it seemed pretty good.
they were 360's.

Also, any word on if the road to the top is open yet???

Thanks Guys, i'm sure pumped!

We were up there a couple of years ago.. and some factory polaris guys were testing some proto-sleds.. they had a meter and were checking the air.. not sure if it was air denisity or oxygen level.. or what it was.. they claimed that for the elevation the air was worse there for some reason than other locations at similar elevations..

When you say 360's.. what chassis/motor is that.. Most of the guys in our group are running 800 poo's with slight mods and are running 350-370's..

havent heard on the road yet

I have an 04 AC 1m 900 stock. 159"...I ran the 360's out by Breckenridge CO, and they did fine too...I'm curious more than anything as to what elevation you all set your sleds up for in Encampment, and the Jets you run.

THanks, Happy Monday.
