I figured you came in from the top. You must ride the road and come in from the bottom. Very fun climb but tough to make it out from the second shelf. One of the tracks up the chutes was a turbo from a couple weeks ago and I am positive the XP and M 1K were locals.

Not too many XPs up here that are local. Most locals are Kitty Cat riders. I'm one of the Ski Doo locals and I haven't been back there lately.

Anyone got any info on the fatal up there on Friday? Talked to a lady when we came in that said the sheriff was up there and the group was possibly from MI?

Had a rollover on the way down to Kremmling Sunday too. Shut the road down right behind us.

From what I heard at the MC lot, 17yr girl from Michigan rolled a sled by a lake. Friday conditions unfortunately were concrete.:(

Very funny:p Deandra had a little free sample spoon she produced...that'll keep you thin! One bean per load:rolleyes: Then my eyes focused on her and I got an idear:face-icon-small-sho J/K, not a bad way to eat hot chili though:D

If there's still snow:face-icon-small-dis hah. Stop by my "rig" and have a beer or go for a ride. Terrible about the young girl:( Probably got pushed into the snow and couldn't get enough air.

Nope;) I have booneyd in from the bottom, but not on any road. lol Is that a road from the top? Pretty steep in one spot! XP guy didn't sound local. It was running good though. That skinny feller skipped right up. Pretty sure the white M1K was NA, real quiet and tractoring along, or maybe a turbo at half throttle:o with a bunch of XP's so I wouldn't think it was the Woogy:confused:

No, it was an older lady from Nebraska. She was riding with her husband and son, got separated around the Long Lake area and wrecked her sled and it rolled on top of her. Her group found her 15 minutes later. Tried CPR to no avail and had to get to the MC lot to make a 911 call (Don't get that one, my phone works back there). SARS tried to revive with a portable defibrillator with no luck.

The story with most details was in the Steamboat Pilot

There are a couple XP owners from Jackson County. Can get to the same spot from the north as well.

Yeah, I've seen them. They hang out on Buff and rarely go South to the Ears.

From what I see they are Felker setup sleds.

Sorry, don't know how to put quotes from 2 different guys in one post. I do know the trees get tight if you head NW when you get to the top. Only tried to go out that way once but turned around on a steep drop off.
 
Click the center button with the quotes at the lower left of that persons quote. It will turn red and you can continue on. That is the multi-quote button.

We came in from the top and went back out the same way. Head south from the second shelf up through the trees. Next time I plan on coming in from the bottom and going out the top unless of coarse there is more than 2ft of snow. Should be fun!

Good idea! 5 years ago that hill never had tracks on it. Bigger sleds and 10 times the people that ride there leave very few "secret" spots left. I can remember riding longtracked Phazers and Mach III triples in the same areas. Wasted a lot of time and money trying to get those Mach's to go off the trail. Oh well, brings back good memories though!
 
I shouldn't talk, I'm an offender. Like you said, new sleds have opened up these areas as much as anything. Not like i'm an old-timer rider up there, but I do remember less crowded days 5 years ago; about the time sleds started getting real easy to handle. Gotta hit it first thing!

Paul, Jerry and I were there Sunday morning (in the area everybody's mentioning)....we were just cruising around, lookin for pow. We figured we look around the backside of the Ears that day, versus hitting Fish creek again.

After looking at that hill in awe (I dared Jerry to give it a shot..his sled mighta done it?...),
We tried to get around the EARS ridge line, heading north from the pictured hill...we must have messed around for 2 hours, but couldn't find a line through the trees and/or dropoffs. There is a huge canyon area back in there....never seen any tracks looking at it from a distance....gave up after awhile.
We stopped by your camper about 3ish...almost knocked...but Jerry had to be home early....
maybe next weekend.
hope for some deep pow!
