Got home on Tuesday. We had a great time and found some really good powder.

My brother Dustin stuck on a rock at the bottom of a ravine.

Arlen stuck 5 feet from the trail in the trees

Dustin in some great pow!!

Please be careful and pray for your fellow riders

Mt Time and the Nisswa Marine boys aren't going to be making it out this week. B-Radical and crew were looking forward to seeing them on this weekend. All are safe with minor injuires

Here are a couple of pictures I took of a small slide that we set off. We only put one person on the hill at a time and when he made his turn at the top it broke loose on him. All in the group had there avalanche equipment. He was able to out ride it. This hill was about 28 degrees and showed no sign of letting loose. There was three different layers of bad snow and it let loose on the bottom layer..................

Don't know if West got hit, Island Park did. It's Blowing like an SOB right now, if it was Snowing it would be complete White out conditions.

 

[Goldenwest]

Yep it's happening, with 30 mph winds. Have no idea what we got for snow because of the wind, but it has to be around a foot since last night..........

 

[crazyflatlander]

Keep the snow coming but get rid of the wind!!!!

 

[backonthedarkside]

Let it snow !!! kurt how is the web cam thing comming?

 

[Mountain West Motorsports]

Hey ND900Cat...tell your brother that I am still waiting for that bottle of Crown Royal because we helped him get that sled out of there. LOL

Glad everyone had a great trip and no one got hurt. I know we had a great time there and wish we could have stayed longer. But there will be another day that we can make it down there this season.

Cave - WTF - is that an avy chasing that sled? How steep is that slope?

 

[Caveman]
