3 Brand new 850s.
Broke all three of them on the first day of riding.
Been There
Done That.
Yesterday was a nearly perfect day of Riding!
We were up all weekend, had a couple mishaps, will be fixed tomorrow night but it was a very good weekend. Sunday was a bit of a struggle with the 1/4" of ice ontop, and freezing rain, thought we could get out of it with increased elevation but no luck. left around 3 and headed home.
Glad you were there before the rain came and trashed it.
I swear.
Why does it always WARM UP around here.
It's done it every year I've lived here, still wind up with pretty epic winters... we're still dooing better than most anywhere else in the states
Is that tunnel bracing OEM or ???We are going back up on Saturday to test another sled.
There was plenty of snow and more coming down all day long
The higher we went the better the snow was
Visibility was 1/8-1/4 mile most of the day with minimal wind
Snow was thin in west Yellowstone and you could still see brown grass coming through.
Didn’t look like any groomers had yet hit any of the major trails, but there were few or no whoops anywhere.
Two tops was utterly untracked. We broke trail from west all the way over the mountain.
Same for black canyon.
The whole complex was just deserted on Thursday and for the most part we had the entire mountain to ourselves.
Another foot or so and I would say we will be golden for all off trail buried surprises. As it is, there had been some bold adventurous riders who had dared fate and left a few deep cuts that could be seen.
But our goal yesterday was to start the breakin process on two new turbos, so all we wanted was a pipe of miles and no broken sleds.

Have to take off the rear grab rail? (bumper?)
well what did the report have to say?The get my ass out of bed and look out the window forecast... never fails, unlike most of the supposed "pro" weather forecast
Heading up on the 27th. Spend the night in SLC the 27th. Island Park West Yellowstone 28th thru the 2nd. First time there in a decade. Started with 8 in the group. Down to 2 after others going to Lake Tahoe area. Not wanting to sleep in a trailer of 8 guys for 4 days ... cant rent a room in California. Happy to take my money and rent a room in Yellowstone.. I hear you can even eat at resturants. Hows to snow?
If we decide to head to IP after Christmas I'll let you know and maybe we can meet up. Our plans are still up in the air. Watching the weather and snow storms.
Found a great spot today, fantastic snow in shaded areas, still needs more depth over rocks and trees for go anywhere, softer deeper snow than yesterday’s, higher we’ve gone last two days harder the snow.
We did opt to unload at lots the past two days cuz low meadows are shallow, typically don’t trailer from cabin.

Staying at Little America hotel downtown SLC for $68 a night plus $15 for gated garaged parking AND or gated open courtyard parking with cameras. The room is very nice. Nice to park the truck with loaded sled deck.
